I dont think Splitter is going anywhere, he is Buds man.   Edy is a project and a copuple years away, will play in the D league quite abit.

@NBASupes was the first I remember raving about Dennis' potential, he's been on the Edy train with the same - hoping and praying you are right buddy.

Omg I'm invisible...I was on Dennis's nuts since day 1...lol

Good God I hope kg doesn't see this...FML...

Ps next time I'm excited about a player I'm gonna PM @JayBirdHawk 23 or 37 times..lol

You and @Sothron both were right there with me on the Dennis-wagon.

Also the Hezonja and Stanley Johnson wagon..:-( too bad we couldn't get either for us..

It's great we also have Splitter now because he will be able to help Tavares with the language.

I think he speaks a little English.

Don't worry...I forgot what I had for lunch yesterday lol

I'm so happy about this! Especially after the Bucks getting Monroe! They are going to be a lot better but we just inked two 7 footers! One that's a great role player, one is a prospect!

We needed that! By the way I'm not going to be shocked if Edy plays in the playoffs.

You were.  I bunch of us were actually over the moon when we drafted him.

[JTB]

Dude has a 7'9 wing span!

Blocks or no blocks that's going to bother someone around the goal

So the big question now is if we got him for half price and he turned down $3m overseas, how long was the $3m contract for? My guess would be 3 years, which would be $1m per year. Which means we are probably paying him around $500k, which is around what Hawksfanatic said he would probably be paid, if I remember correctly.

[yungsta]

its going to feel so weird seeing a 7 footer let alone a 7 ft 3er, in a hawks uniform.

[Dnice]

Yeah been a long azz time since someone was actually listed at 7 feet, not 6'11''.

I hear Horford speaks a little Spanish too.

I know but... Edy's mother tongue is Portuguese not Spanish
