YES. I've posted in many times with very luke warm responses on the board. I really wanted us to sign him last year as well.
He's relatively young and injury free. He's also a legit "big body" and he is not shy "at all" about smacking people when they come down the lane. Two years back when the Hornets played the Lakers in the playoffs he gave Bynum all he wanted.
He also has decent hands around the basket.
He is no superstar, but we don't need that. WE need a big space eating, hard hitting, true 7 footer that we can employ in spurts when we want to get physical and pound people.
I've been very suprised that I've never heard about any interest in him.
Our team is built sort of like the 90's Bulls' teams - the championship talent is on the wings, with KG and Rondo. Those teams did center by committe with very average talents. A center rotation of Gray, Steamer & Melo would be excellent for this team -that's all we need and it would be cheap.
Good call - I would be very happy to see us sign Gray as a piece of the center rotation.
