The guy who I would try but doubt his team would let him go is Kyle O'Quinn. Maybe can get him at $7M but that's doubtful and that's overpaying him.

I think you could definitely get him at 7 mil but I don't think he is worth it.

I get it. He should be on the radar, but the guy is still soft. I love when players prove me wrong.

His rebound rate per 36 minutes is over 13. If he gave a full off season to developing base and core strength this would be another Whiteside type get for a team savvy enough to see it. I'd like to keep jason smith but what he is is a stretch 5 and you'd have to play him with an interior 4 anjica is a pure 5 yet he can hit the mid range. He should go very well with melo and a solid pf. We haven't had a 7 footer wo can post in years. What I look for is signs of addedNBA produ tion like he had against toronto and la ---where a player gets extended minutes and produces out to his projected 36 min rate. This is a 7-1 athlete with a 7~9 wingspan. Hes 26 a pro trainer could turn him into a amonster in one offseason. A team that signs him puts the cards on the table wiyh him--anjica will give you 32 minutes a night and well sign you to this amount of dollars but we want you to do this for us this guy can be a great 5 for us for 10 years.

Yellow mentioned him a while ago as someone to watch.

He's a situational player at best

If his Per 36 were such a huge barometer guess what


He wouldn't only be logging 12min/gm

Matter of fact this is his 2nd season with NOP and his minutes have decreased


Someone would have already turned him into a monster in their organization

Who have we turned into a monster within our organization at this time, no one


Alexis plays with one everyday in Anthony Davis you'd think he'd be so much more

You were the one who said "NOBODY DOUBLE TEAMS IN THE NBA ANYMORE"


Well I'll raise your suspect statement and say

"7ftrs are not what they used to be" and only have major impact


If they rebound, rim protect, and block shots at an Elite level

Alexis does not fit the bill


Amir Johnson would qualify as a #1 target 49 spots ahead of Alexis

You could have said the same about Mozgov when he was around Alexis age. This is a big you bring to your program cheap/while overpaying slightly to get him away from his current team and you see what he can do.

Look at Ed Davis. He got swallowed up in Memphis behind two good bigs. His minutes dropped from in the 20s to the 15s. Sometimes players get stuck behind good players. Ajinca is stuck behind the great young Anthony Davis and one of the better rebounding and defensive bigs in Asik. When Davis is out Ajinca has performed well.

Ajinca is a value FA that can help a team and if he just happens to break out, he could really put a team over the top.

You can see the guy can play...he needs p90x or something. Guy is very frail and sickly looking. A Calvin booth looking mofo. I feel like guys were ignoring him out there. If a team had a scouting report and prepared for him he would be less effective.

Again he's a guy you want on your bench hoping he can get going but at 26 his time is now. I know it takes longer for big men to develop but 26?

gunsnewing @ 2/2/2015 9:47 AM
This is is long as hell. I'd certainly give him a look

What is also good about Ajinca is that he can actually play some 4. He plays with Asik at times.

Actually i think our issue is our starters, we have some players who can end up forming a great bench squad. Galloway, Hardaway Jr. Early, Acy, Jason Smith, Aldrich etc can be a great bench with good upside. Problem is we need 4 new starters.

Agree yellowing where else are there 7-1 players with 7-9 wingspan with skills coming into their own game? 4-6mm a year for a potential starting c capable of 15-10 -2

Hassan Whitside was not considered an nba basketball player 6 weeks ago.Anjica is showing strong signs of breaking out.The fact that he can also hit the mid range jumpshot fills out nicely with what we are doing. He's blocking shots he's scoring rebounding you put him next to melo and okafor with a good pg and he's going to be really good. For4-6 mm a year that's what we want low risk high reward

BRIGGS, I have to give you props on Whiteside. You said he would be good before that draft. He looked like a bust at first and it took 3 years, but he is finally showing his potential. Knicks need to find more diamonds in the rough like that.

BRIGGS @ 2/2/2015 1:13 PM
It's pretty simple there is no other free agent at the low price anjica will command that has the ability to impact a team like he potentially can. We work with him work on his core/ base strength and we could have a c for 4-6mm who would be worth double.

Don't think that Whiteside would have lasted here for 3 years though.

Exactly, I doubt he put those numbers up unless everything comes together defensively and offensively. Plus Also, I am not sure you want to go full boar on him like he is your"#1 target" or if you want to wait and let his market set then go just above it. It would be cool to know how this stuff works. How do teams identify low level talents and keep them interested while trying to go after larger FAs so that everyone can fit in the cap?

Alexis does not fit the bill


Amir Johnson would qualify as a #1 target 49 spots ahead of Alexis

You could have said the same about Mozgov when he was around Alexis age. This is a big you bring to your program cheap/while overpaying slightly to get him away from his current team and you see what he can do.

Look at Ed Davis. He got swallowed up in Memphis behind two good bigs. His minutes dropped from in the 20s to the 15s. Sometimes players get stuck behind good players. Ajinca is stuck behind the great young Anthony Davis and one of the better rebounding and defensive bigs in Asik. When Davis is out Ajinca has performed well.

Ajinca is a value FA that can help a team and if he just happens to break out, he could really put a team over the top.

Agree yellowing where else are there 7-1 players with 7-9 wingspan with skills coming into their own game? 4-6mm a year for a potential starting c capable of 15-10 -2

Not sure he'd put up those #s but I agree at that price, it's a great gamble.
Good call, Briggs, IMO.

You just like him because of his efficiency ...

Briggs does not necessarily go by the same standard. He does not really look at TS and WS.


Yeah, it's mostly a coincidence that we both reached the same view here. I was giving a little bit of weight to his size and wingspan but it's mostly TS and WS like you said.

Yellow, are you not a member of both communities?

Anybody who uses just one is partially blind.

I'm not saying number 1 like wed be getting kd I'm saying potential number 1 value free agent who also has significant upside. A Dragic or a Knight will cost 14mm plus. I don't think they are of the same relative value. I think if we sign anjica for 5mm and resign smith for 4 with appropriate 4acquisitions will be straight.
