Why not Louis Amundson

[EJPLAYA]

It appears the Suns are going to let this guy walk. Assuming that we could sign him for vet minimum wouldn't he be a nice hustle player off the bench? 4 pts and 4 boards in 13 min a game isn't bad for a bench guy. He's a thin 6'9 so would likely be a wing guy. Considering what we have available at low money I think he'd fit in nicely. I have been impressed with the guy every time the Suns have played us.

Because he will likely get (and want) more than the minimum.  If he would come for the minimum, he would be an excellent backup big man (not sure where the idea of him being a wing came from).

Amundson has about 10 different teams interested in his services.

I wouldn't be optimistic about the Celtics landing him since they can't offer more money and are only offering a small amount of playing time (none when Perk gets back on the court).

But yeah, I'd absolutely love to have him here. Amundson would be an excellent signing.

He just doesn't seem big enough physically to be a big. Maybe a smaller PF, but he just seems to me to be more of a wing type slasher than a traditional big man. Putting up 4 boards a game I guess he likely gets in there a bit. I think from the weak side mostly though. Just my impression.

he can't defend 3s. he's a 4 with the ltd ability to guard a few 5s.

He's 6'9" with a 7 foot wingspan and very good ups. He's a good PF with the ability to guard perimeter 5's and undersized 5's.

His rebound per minute and rebound percentages are top notch, like top 20 in the league.

I was kinda excited to see the Suns were letting him walk also.  Interested enough to do some looking--he's half an inch shorter than Big Baby and has almost no offensive skills.  Love his hustle and rebounding but don't think there is a place on this year's roster for such a one-dimensional player.

[Greenbean]

I love this guy. I think he can get more than the min though.

He's 34th in the league in rebound rate, just a notch below Perkins.

Surprised the Suns are letting Amundson go - he'd be a solid 4th big until Perk returns, then an excellent 5th big afterward.

But as others have said, he'll likely get more money, and definitely more PT, elsewhere.  So we probably have no shot.

And you were worried about my CBlog team's rebounding last year.

he'd be perfect...moneywise unlikely unfortunately
