What would be a reasonable offer for him?
8 mil? 9 mil?
Yes. That seems reasonable to me, with what you pay for height.
He will get offered more though I believe, so I don't consider him an option.
Thats a reasonable offer but i bet a team will pay 12-13 a year for him... Which i think is absurd but there will be a gm out there to do so.
You never know. With the new salary cap restrictions coming into play, teams may be more frugal.
Look, no one here is calling him the next great big man. But considering what is out there at the Center position he is certainly worth looking at. All young players are immature and have growing pains, but at 24, for anyone to say with certainty that this will be who he is going to be 2, 4, 6 years down the line is just as stupid as they purport he is.
Clearly he has had his issues, but I'ld be willing to bet, in the right environment he could excel. Previous posts of his performance against LA this post season, who probably has the most formidable front court in the league, should not be overlooked! He has the tools! He just needs the right direction. And honestly, who better than Doc and the good mix of young and veteran leadership here.
Its not a question of should the Celts look at him, the question is how much?
