    Very good singing. In this summer of overspending, this is a low risk move.

    That's like asking Lou Williams why he needed a 2nd woman when he had one already. C'mon ... backup!

    A "cheap"..."Sweet Lou"....Sweet Lou is Lou Hudson from back in the day. He was an awesome SG/SF with a badass jump shot. Feel like a cheap SG/SF with a legit jump shot could definitely be Gentile imo.

    This was my reaction as well. Maybe he'll be revitalized playing in a system he prefers. We'll see.

    How does a 34 year old C fit a run and gun system?

    Wade is next to Chicago, maybe Felicio could be the "other Brazilian"

    Morey has abandoned all thoughts of defense. He's completely bought into Les' and Dancing Toni's 7 seconds scheme.

    The quickly available stats compared to Dwight over the last 3 years:

    Rank among C's in DRPM over the last 3 years

    Dwight - 4th, 22nd, 35th
    Nene - 7th, 11th, 11th

    Defensive rating over the last 3 years :

    Dwight - 101, 100, 104
    Nene - 103, 102, 103

    Defensive box plus minus over the last 3 years

    Dwight - 2.2, 1.2, 1.8
    Nene - 1.8, 1.3, 1.8

    Stats suggest he might be better than some would think. In limited minutes I think he can be effective.

    Well that is better than I thought. I thought he was always talented offensively but poor defensively. Not gonna lie though, I watched very few Wiz and Nuggets games over the last several years.

    If he is even a average defender he will be the best defender on the team.
