He is a restricted Free agent this off-season, I wonder if the nuggets have the money to match a MLE offer from us. He would be a great backup who can score,shoot,and play D.. What would you guys think of this guy in Boston?

He's pretty much a slightly bigger Scal, who does rebound better and handles the ball better.  I don't know the Nuggets salary but they're going to have to dish out some money to resign Birdman, Jones, and Carter so he could be had for the MLE.

I think he'll get a bigger offer from someone else though, plus he really isn't a 5 or a true 3 so I don't think we'll have much interest in him even though I do like his game.

I don't want Boston to target him. I consider him too large of a risk, considering the money he'd take to sign and the other opportunities they'd lose out on.

For some team looking for a starting small forward, who'll give him 30+ minutes a night, I think he's a good risk for that type of team.

I've always liked him.  It's probably an overreaction from the game tonight, but I would be happy if they targeted him with the rest of the group this summer.

Yeah I'm a Linas Kleiza fan as well.

The comparison to Scal is an interesting one.  Kinda makes sense actually.  I think Scal might play a little bit better defense, but overall I think Kleiza can stroke it from beyond the arc better and also rebound better.

There's no need for both on our team though.  And I doubt Scal will be going anywhere from this team so I think we can count Kleiza out.

I've always liked him too.  Might be able to juice up a team a little better than Scal.

ps:  it's possible I've always liked Kleiza because I once got to kiss a Lithuanian girl on the lips (just a gentle short goodbye one) after a five hour train ride in California.  I not only fell in love with her on that train ride but I fell in love with Lithuania and all Lithuanians as well.
