for obvious reasons, haha, could be a somewhat decent center for us next year is currently on the scrap heap - Daniel Orton.  He's barely in the league anymore.  Remember when everyone wanted him in 2010? ;D  If people want to bring Perk back ::) , why not look into this guy first.  He was playing for the Wizards in the summer league, I believe.  Eh, it's just a thought.  He'd be cheap, at least.

Wasn't he a second round pick who has been a complete failure for multiple teams?

Just a thought... Fair enough.  At this point, I have my heart set on getting a center in next year's draft

I saw him in a few summer league games.  He's a fat guy with bad hands.

Exactly.  I just thought why not throw the name out there anyway, though, haha.  After I made this thread I remembered some anger issues that Orton had, so adding him and Evan Turner to the same team doesn't exactly sound like a winning formula for team chemistry ;D  In fairness to Orton, however, I must admit that I don't remember his exact problems and/or incidents, if there were any.

AWESOME (sarcasm)!  Me thinks we've found the next Perk ;)

He's Westbrook's twin, right?

He's turning 24 this month.

iirc he was here when the ORL Magic were relevant. 2009? Crazy.

Bogans's expiring has more of a chance of making an impact, though.

He's Westbrook's twin, right?

Guess who's who:

Edit:

2010.

And it turns out he's with the Maine Red Claws anyway. lol. Ainge is meticulous like that.

He's ridiculously overweight. Not a good basketball player. Doesn't have the inside game you'd expect for someone with his size.


I don't think he looks that much like Westbrook either.

LoL not in that picture he doesn't. it looks like he ate westbrook before that picture was taken.

from what i remember, there was a lot of hype with him coming in from college. some players just don't transition well, i guess...

Role model for Sully perhaps?

I want a guy I have seen, just not a guy who sounds good.   Some of the people here hear 6-10 and 275 lbs. and they swoon over him or a tall Euro and go bonkers.

PASS!
