I guess details on money will be forthcoming.

I read where he stated he wanted to play in the NBA but did not want to sit on the bench

Big body to throw at Embiid, Lopez, and Gasol.

Well, dude's big. We need bigs. Can't hurt to have a look. Hope he can play D and board.

Dboss,

2 years @ veterans minimum. Same deal Theis was given 2 years ago.

He is patient when he gets the ball down low.

Never shoots 3s, conflicting reports about his p&r defense, but all agree he is tough as nails and inhales rebounds. Much as I love Horford, it looks like we'll have a better rebounding team without him. The bigs can rebound and the wings canvfly. Maybe wishful thinking.

I agree. I think Boston has definitely made moves that will make them a much better rebounding team and they now have multiple centers that have post scoring skills.

International is a real asset to this board.

Nice to see more options. The big man brigade out here must be ecstatic
