someone on reddit said the guy is tall as yao and about as athletic as danny devito,pretty much spot on.
I mean if the kings are really serious about making something out of him,he's like a 2 year project minimum on just condition.
he needs to shed 30 kgs,put on some muscle and manage to run up and down the court for 5 mins and not die in the process.
the more likely thing is he gets hurt and dropped.

Not saying it's the case with this guy by any means but there were so many picks in the draft that people were like, this guy's years away, too raw, etc. But occasionally, if you're physically gifted enough and willing to work hard, there are Drummonds out there who can be extremely useful with a very limited skillset and just being an absolute beast.

Looks like Haslem has opted out. Wheels are in motion for Miami it seems...

Not at all. They keep him on as an RFA, and likely already have a deal (or at least a promise) in place.

It's looking like they're taking less money and Miami's going to rearm. Unfortunately.

Well, lebron is supposedly looking for a max deal, so unless bosh and wade take a huge paycut I don't see them getting that much more cap space than they had before.

It's pretty amazing; the Heat only have about 4.2 million salary for next year. But, yeah, as if we didn't know this from the last 4 years, but those three guys take up a huge amount of the cap space. They're going to have to really dig deep to find good veteran role players. Say 3 guys willing to take 6 million dollars each. Assuming Arison doesn't want to go over the cap.

Like the idea of guys taking less for a better team, but it's still a shit system. Because of price ceilings owners get richer while individual labor has to make concessions. The NBA is such a fucking cartel.
