Fellacio got 4 years and 32 mil from the Bulls. Like fellacio, everyone likes Sauce.

I guess the Suns will wait until he decides on their offer because they are probably checking other options as well.

I am high on alan williams as i think with consistent starters minutes he guy could literally be top 3 in the league in rebounding BUT i think stats paint a little too pretty of a picture in his case. His pick and role, help side, and general defense is not good or fit for the current nba. He has literally one offensive move which is a floater, no counter move to that. In other words, i do like him as a fire guy and a GREAT rebounder but nothing more...

According to the tracking data defense at the rim, AW is well above average both in the number of shots he challenges and pctage scored against - better than Chandler on both, for example. When the opposing C goes against him he often scores rather easily over him which makes an indelible mark in our mind but we don't remember all the other people who flit into the lane and who Alan stops. I'm sure most anyone would guess that Tyson blocks more shots but, in fact, AW blocks more than twice as many. Also more than Marquese blocks. He is not a great shotblocker but he's more effective than you think because he never makes a memorable block.

I'm not pushing for him to our starting center, I think it helps him both on defense and rebounding to toil in relative obscurity so he can take opponents by surprise - you just don't expect a chubby short guy off the bench to be much good. Undoubtedly helps his scoring as well as he just doesn't look like a threat.

Not only did they keep him, they got him at a good rate. Now it's time to see what happens with Len.

They need to keep Len at a similar rate. But they do need to keep Len.

Hope we can sign Len as well. Big men (Cs) usually take longer to develop, so even though Len's been a bit of a disappointment so far, I am still patient with him. It's not like our future depends on him, but we could use some extra inside defence and rebounding, nicht wahr?

Love a guy who is in love with what he gets to do. Sauce is entertaining in the best sort of way.
