Looks like Nathan might get some playing time with Jefferson and Love out...

Good luck to him I say.

 

[givemethecure]

Here's hoping him and Flynn connect on some sweet plays. Hopefully get gets a run or two there...

We could have three Aussie big men getting some decent floor time this year if this goes through.

 

[givemethecure]

Indeed. each of them playing with good-to-greatish young point guards. Could be fun if the PGs do their jobs properly!

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

He needs to get in shape.

 

[DoubleA]

Its a win-win for both parties. Hopefully Nathan can lose the title of worst PER in the game this year.

 

[givemethecure]

He needs to get in shape.

He's always been a big boy though... At least he's not at the same proportions as a certain O. Miller.

C'mon. Of course he's big, he has allowed himself to get too big.

Hmm... didn't realise it was such a difference... could be just due to the shirt being untucked though? To me, he doesn't seem too much different to Glen Davis, possibly not even that big. Obviously thick around the neck, but that could be due to weights etc... I know from personal experience that doing loads of weights as a big dude doesn't necessarily make one lithe and buff...

i blame poor lighting

He has a neck?

 

[spexau]

Shirt tucked in + his head being tilted down which pushes all that neck skin together won't help. Don't think there is a huge difference. Plus everyone knows that beard's shave off 5 kilos.......

If I shave my beard I put on 3 chins.

So does Nathan apparently.

He does look like he has put on a little. Not sure how much working out he was able to do while he was having his heart problem checked out? Playing SFA actual basketball since he has been over there probably hasn't helped either...

 

[peternorth]

LOLLLLLL foxsports is referring to jawai as "Australian NBA star"

 

[Messenger]

With Love out until near enough to Christmas and Jefferson likely to miss some time or at least be restricted in his on court time, Minnesota is about the best situation Jawai could hope for.

Can't say I'm thrilled to be honest.

C Blount
PF Gomes
SF Brewer
SG Wilkins
PG Sessions

Will this be the starting line up?

IMO, that probably won't make the conference finals.

Hmm it might struggle.

But we'll win the Northwest......

Blount (and Antonio Daniels) will be bought out this week.

The sans Love/Jefferson lineup they started in Denver today was

C Pecherov
PF Gomes
SF Wilkins
SG Brewer
PG Flynn

The least bad lineup they could have used is:

C Pecherov
PF Gomes
SF Pavlovic
SG Brewer
PG Sessions

Apparently Jefferson will play on Opening night.

He's always been a big boy though... At least he's not at the same proportions as a certain O. Miller.

Unfortunately for Jawai, he doesn't have a tenth of Miller's talent.

If Miller ever got in shape, he would have been a multiple All-Star.

 

[dylan123]

Has Jawai managed to play any pre season games yet?

1 game, 8 minutes.

Blew a wide open dunk.

how can they NOT make the WCF when they're a lock for the NBA championship?

rubio the saviour now?

 

[Falchoon]

C'mon. Of course he's big, he has allowed himself to get too big.
