So I haven't really seen his name thrown around but I think he would be a solid option for us.  He hasn't seemed to be in the highest demand around the league but he had a very solid season last year. More than that he could potentially satisfy a humongous need that hasn't really been addressed by the C's yet this offseason: REBOUNDING!

He was a fantastic rebounder last season, ranking 9th in the entire league in rebound rate.  He averaged 5 points and 5 rebounds last season in only 14 minutes per game and at 6"10 he can play PF or Center.  He was solid in the playoffs last season as well, averaging 5 points and 6.3 rebounds in 18 minutes off the bench.  He's also tremendous athlete who is still only 24 years old with a lot of room to improve.

He's got some holes in his game; he's a bad free throw shooter and not a very good shot blocker. He's also not a very polished offensive player, but I think his rebounding abilities could be monumentally helpful next season since it's such an area of weakness for our team.

Yup.

Any idea what kind of contract he's looking for?  I know he earned $2.9 mil last year.  You don't think there's a chance he could be had for the BAE?

Would love to get him. Still the sample size is to small to likely warrant the contract he wants.

No chance -- LA will offer a comparable or better deal to that if that's the best offer out there. I don't see him leaving LA without being offered substantially more money or more minutes.

Need to overpay Hill to get him here ... Or, the Lakers have seemed happy to sign and trade Hill if they get something worthwhile in return.
