    Not sure if he will stay in the NBA but he’s a good fit. He is a big body can hit 3s and post up. With his shooting you can play him alongside Sengun in certain situations.

    He's not DMo.

    Adams vs Valanciunas would be a great UFC fight.

    I like him, but I'd prefer a 4th center be a bit younger.

    Need a young, athletic five who can block shots and stick it from deep

    That said, Jonas at the minimum is nothing to turn up one's nose at.

    He didnt want to play for the Nuggets last year and wanted to play in Europe last year. I would imagine that is what he does now.

    Too young. If he was a couple of years older, he'd be a perfect fit.

    Apparently Valanciunas is an only child, which means

    ... there is no Jonas brother.

    Luka got all the lob threats. Looney and Kessler, it's going to look like GP to KEMP in La this year.

    I actually think this would be a good idea because of his offensive touch and range.

    I'd sign him and then trade Sengun
