Idea: Pops Mensah-Bonsu?

Are any of you guys interested in Pops Mensah-Bonsu?  He's a pretty quick player and a pretty good rebounder. I've seen him in a couple games last season when the Mavs played the Warriors and he looks like a solid big guy. He's a little undersized at 6'9, but I think he can jump pretty high which recovers for his lack of height. He would seem to be a good fit as a backup center for the Warriors or just an energy guy like Paul Milsap.

Brandon Bass, a 6-8 forward who played two seasons with New Orleans, is expected to sign a two-year contract today with the Mavericks. The parties agreed to the deal this week.

The addition, the Mavs' first of the free-agent signing period, could mean Pops Mensah-Bonsu, a 6-9 forward, won't be back with the Mavs next season.

Pops could probably be cheap to very cheap. I think it wouldn't be a bad try to get him, since he does have the capabilities of becoming a good player in the W's rotation.

Well...

If the team didn't already have
either a Tobey Bailey and or Josh Powell lined up to fill out the bench, I'd say sure.

Zorgon and I were wagering on who would see minutes in a blowout game first against the Mavs last season , Pops or Foyletime. I think Pops got in there first.

couldn't decide
between Not Sure & Maybe!

For now, I'd say he would compete with Powell to backup the bigs ...

Ask me again after Aug 6-7 when (I still have hope) the picture could be very different
