For 8 mill a season or whatever the heck he was making he is useless. For vet minimum he's not especially when he'll be playing for a contract all year. He played good for us in the very limited minutes he got last season and I'll take him over our other options of Pittsnogle & D Jones any day. No, he's no superstar but he can give us spurts which is what we need if Theo goes down.

Right, if and when Ratliff goes down. As it stands (and I said this in the other thread) he should be racking up DNP-CD's like they're going out of style as long as we have Perk and Theo.

I think this is exactly the point whiterhino is trying to make. No way does he play over Perkins or Ratliff, but if there is a better third option out there that could be had for so little I can't think of him. The fact that he will (HOPEFULLY) get limited minutes will make him more motivated to produce in his time on the floor since he will most likely be playing for his NBA career. If he doesn't produce this time he's most likely finished. Hopefully he won't be needed because I'm a firm believer that Perk will bust out in a big way this year and Ratliff when healthy is still capable of producing but the Kandi man is cheap insurance and despite his many limitations is a better option than Pittsnogle or Jones.

Kandi is a better 3rd center than anyone we're going to pick up this year. He isnt worth the money at all, but we have to pay him anyway. It cant hurt to give him a try. If he doesnt produce this year his career is over, so hopefully he'll have a little bit of fight in him.

If he shows up once every five games, it's not a bad investment for the C's. He'd be worth every penny, unlike this dude we signed for 15 million for.
