2. How is his defence?
3. Does he have injury concerns?
4. Who would we have to give up to get him? Is it still worth it?

1.) He's a ballhog in the sense that he'd be a fantastic fit for the second unit and good at crunch time because he's fearless and relentlessly in attack-mode. But I don't think he's any more of a ballstopper than Butler. Difference is he'll be scoring more efficiently.
2.) His D isn't good, to be really honest. But he's a fantastic rebounder for his size and position.
3.) He's had injuries in the past, but played 70 games this year. For his career he averages about 65 games per season. I could probably live with that if he stays productive for the next couple of years.
4.) I bet Butler would get it done... or the DUST chip if we determine we can't get LeBron/Wade/Bosh etc.
He has a few question marks... but I think his strengths greatly outweigh his weaknesses.
