If we got him, between him and Thabust Bishmack Biyumbo would have do choice but to join our team once he's a free agent. Then we put Hakeem and Dikembe as our coaches. Our team will have about 15 blocks a game... But not many points.
He's a restricted FA, but I'd call and see if Milwaukee would like to trade him for the Kracken T-will. Luc Mbah a Moute would be a great complement to MM, C-bud and KM, all of whom aren't exactly defensive stoppers. Perhaps their coach can get through T-will and unleash the beast. Also, maybe I'm the only one who noticed how funny the article is. The article basically said a Moute didn't pay any attention to sabremetrics at all, but suddenly become a believer when somebody told him he owns during his contract year :grin:
This is the part I'm very surprise. •Averaged 6.7 points and 5.3 rebounds last season but got the most rebounds per 40 minutes of any small forward and had the fifth-most free throws per field goal attempted among small forwards (behind such stalwarts as James and Boston Celtics forward Paul Pierce).
He is a glue guy / defender like Battier. Stats aren't important for guys like that. Its about effeciency. He is extremely underated, one of the best perimeter defenders in the game.
Firstly, we don't need glue. We need more pieces first. Otherwise we're just gluing bull**** pieces to each other. Secondly, everyone's value shows in stats, you just have to be looking at the right stats. Battier looks great in stats - just not on the stats we usually see > this is why Morey loved him. The article even mentions Shane was most clutch at 3-pt time - is that not a good stat? The things mentioned in the article are just making a mockery of readers. I'm certain Mboute or his agent had a hand in what they've written in the article. Almost everything they've produced seems to be handpicked based on the remote areas he's good at. The guy can't score enough, and when you can't score enough you better be on a team where there's some superstars scoring for 2 people. We don't have that superstar, and we have Chuck Hayes who brings more than enough glue and intangibles and hard-nosed defending, etc etc with little scoring. Can you imagine Mboute offensively if there is no post presence and no superstar? The guy's a 3 who can guard some 4's and some 2's. He can't score worth a lick, and he's a pretty good underrated defender, and he seems to be a decent team player. I'd say those are a dime a dozen.
I don't get why the Heat is going after Battier and not this guy... Don't the Heat have enough guys to shoot the corner 3..?
Anytime you can add a valuable player in FA, you do it. If nothing else, so you can trade them for better players.
