Anyone interested in him?....maybe as a backup to Dirk or maybe as a rotation guy (not permanent) for the center position. I've see this guy play before and he can be a beast on the boards!
Obviosly, he is too small (weight wise) to be a true center, but he could definitely split time between PF/C.
It would most likely have to be a multiple player transaction hopefully giving more bodies then we receive
Here is the Link
Yes I know, this does not solve our center problem. I think of it as an interim trade hopefully landing a center later and I dont think we would have to trade any critical pieces to do it. It would still allow us to keep Walker to try to land a center.
