Probably should have tried this earlier since we have no room for guards and needed an athletic forward for a while. Not sure if this guy can play, but he is eligible for the postseason.

Is this a signing cause they feel Kawhi will be out?

Is this a signing cause they feel Kawhi will be out? Definitely no. He's a big. I think it's a lack of faith in Plumlee, Theis and Tucker. But doing it now seems stupid. He won't get minutes, he has no experience with the team, you can't just throw him into a playoff game unless it's garbage time. |

This Jones kid has lots of potential. I rather see him get minutes than Plum vs Dallas in spots. But will see. |

It's actually a multi-year deal so I guess it's not just for the postseason, though maybe he gets thrown in for a match up adjustment to see if he can do anything with it. You need mobile bigs for Dallas' screen game, I kinda figured PJ would be getting the first chance. |

Great move, terrible timing. But better late than never, I guess...
We've had a terrible hole at the 4 since losing Batum, RoCo and Senior, forcing us to play small ball way too often and condemning us to sure losses against the big and long teams like Minnesota, Denver and the Lakers. Hopefully we can incorporate him into the team enough so he can help. Playoffs are long. He may not be ready to contribute much right away, but maybe into the second and third round he can gives us something?
He should get some burn Sunday against the Rox in a throw-away game for the Clippers. I'll be watching closely.

It's probably for practice leading up to the playoffs. Get another big body out there to go against.

If they wanted him for the postseason you'd have to imagine they'd have made this signing much sooner. Can't see him just getting thrown into playoff stakes that quickly.
