I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

Would like him on the Celtics.

Would a team like OKC sign him? Minnesota?

yeah, that's what i'm wondering because they could offer him a starting role.

the real problem team could be Dallas because they are a playoff team AND they could offer him a starting spot.

I'd love to have ZaZa as a backup.  He's a big, genuine tough guy banger.  I gained respect for him when he looked like he was going to rip KG's head off after KG taunted him.

We could trade Scals and TA for a resigned Za Za. Gives us a great back-up center and gives Atlanta cap relief (which they may need given their ownership situation).

Of all the big men he'd be the only one I'd be willing to give years and money to. He's big. He's tough. He's young. He's got attitude. He's got talent.

As for minutes, at least short term he should get plenty, maybe as much as 25-30 MPG because if the C's resign Powe he won't be around until late January at the earliest. With Perk's shoulder problems and KG's age, I'm sure Doc would have no problem using the trio as a big man rotation with each getting close to 30 MPG as he could play Pachulia as a center alongside KG against athletic 4's and Zaza as a PF alongside Perk against larger less mobile PFs.

Also, he's great insurance for having a decent center to have in case Perk's chronic shoulder problems become a long term issue at any point during the season.

He's be who I would want as my big signee and would give $5 million to him before I ever thought about giving it to Baby if it comes down to using the MLE or resigning Baby being the only way to spend $5 million.
