Hasheem Thabeet To Sign With Thunder

[TexasBloodMoney]

Should've been clear to NBA execs that he was going to be a bust when Dajuan Blair harassed him in college:

This.

Why are thunder fans acting like Thabeet is going to do anything but sit on the bench? He's garbage.

JUST because he's 7'3 doesn't "Add length". I mean, I hope he does well but he hasn't shown anything that would warrant him being a role player in this league.

LMAO and did someone seriously make some African connection with Ibaka/Thabeet?

He is going to be the 3rd string center, for less than our current 3rd string center, Nazr Mohammed. If it';s for the minimum, for a player with his amount of experience that is only ~900k. It's low risk, potentially high reward. I think he;ll jump Aldrich in the rotation soon enough.

That's what every other team thought too

[WockaVodka]

It seems like a waste of a signing/roster spot to me.

Why is this a Sticky?

Why is this a Sticky?

Owner felt bad for the Nash-to-LA sticky frenzy and is trying to appease to the common, non-Laker fans.

The majority of thunder fans don't expect him to be anything more than a 3rd center for a better price than Nazr Mohammed.

$880,000

you can't beat that price

Any word on Fisher yet?

Meh low risk, potentially decent results signing. He's definitely a better player than what he's shown in his first few seasons. OKC could make him a decent roleplayer.

Looks like the Thunder are now. . .

In his first year he averaged 9.9 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per 36 minutes and shot 58% (albeit on only 8.5 points per 36 and 6.6 fouls per 36).

He certainly (and clearly even at the time) should not have been picked where he was, has shown (albeit not too recently) that he could be a servicable backup.

If it is indeed at or near the minimum then theres no risk and a potentially solid reward.

I do wonder if he picked the right team though, or if this is bad news for Cole Aldrich because there won't be enough minutes to develop them both, unless this is insurance for amnestying Perk somewhere down the line.

A sticky for Hasheem Thabeet signing with the Thunder? Really?

[Raz]

All he has to do is grab 5 boards and block a shot or 2 and he will be the perfect backup C. Imagine pairing him with Ibaka, no one will be able to drive on them.

Except for Dejuan Blair.
