    I watched this guy play for Olympiacos last year. Only thing he did relatively well was shoot some long twos off the pick'n' pop from the top of the key. Even that happened rarely cause his screens were lazy as hell and barely ever gave the ballhandler much space. Annoyingly apathetic, barely putting in any effort, not much of a hustler and incredibly soft, even for Europe. He looked completely lost. He was brought in to replace Joey Dorsey and completely failed to live up to even that standard. He ended up playing garbage minutes in a team that won the Euroleague through sheer hustle and effort with their top rebounder being a miserable 6'6".

    I will be incredibly surprised if he is anything other than useless.

    That sounds like an upgrade.

    I don't know man, I think Pittman could probably accidentally stumble into a decent screen once or twice per game.

    FYI: Powell is one of Dwight's very best friends.

    The fat jokes don't quite match up with some of Pittman's latest pics in action. But whatever.

    Another fun fact: Powell is one of two active players that have won both an NBA and a Euroleague title.

    The other one's Manu.

    What happened to us signing camby? Id much rather have him over Powell and Pittman. Camby must not be as healthy as he claimed he would be around this time

    What is Brian Scalabrine doing these days? Is he available to pickup ... Didn't he win a championship with the Celtics?

    Brian could and might help, that Joes vs Pros really impressed me and he's decent on any contending team as seen in the past.

    Assuming Rockets grabbed and waived Pittman for the Vipers.

    Why did it take Morey so long to realize we have a big hole at PF, and that D-Mo, Casspi, and T.Jones weren't holding up against elite teams ?

    Dude, he's known it all along. What do you think he was trying to trade for before the deadline? Melo. Love. Millsap. And others. Morey knows all about the weaknesses of this team.

    If you're expecting Powell to fill that hole, you're in for a treat.
