Jonas “Dikembe” Valanciunas

[Tetsujin]

Any questions?

 

[Jdbraver137]

No way we win that game or any game Sabonis is out without him.

 

[NewArena]

We have him for three playoff runs. THREE. On a really nice deal.

Love it.

 

[See_Hanks]

Yah the guy has always been a stud, and I am glad that we can count on him like we used to do with Scot Pollard.

 

[kingsboi]

goes to show why he signed such a sub par deal with the Wizards considering his productivity in New Orleans all because he isn't a stretch five

He's a bigger presence and a lot more effective than Pollard was

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Legit starting quality center, arguably the best backup center or at least top 5 in the league. Will be big for us with Sabonis likely out for a bit.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

whenever he was on the floor the rockets looked shook.. the impact he has on both ends is kinda crazy

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Big guy is having fun!

 

[Jc121]

We have talked about not having a big guy and true center with size that can match up with others like him in the league. Now we have a very good addition that is going to give other teams fits on certain nights.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Ok I'll bite.

What grade would you now give Monte for his trade deadline?

I have thought we brought in and improved our roster and now we have talent 9 or 10 deep.
I would grade the effort to improve our roster a B
And I would grade my expectations a C with the hope with time it’s really at lest a B

a taunt so loud that even Jae Crowder was like “no don’t do it!” lol

Just saying but when watching him play, he looks a lot more like Blazers Sabas than Domas does. You can't teach huge.

man damn near broke the beam button

 

[The_Jamal]

Had to double check that we actually have him for 2 more seasons. What an acquisition, literally for pennies on the dollar and such a quality impact player.

His hand is freaking huge omg

It's becoming a lot easier to understand just what helped make those New Orleans Pelican teams so good in the regular season when even semi-healthy.

One thing I love about Jonas is his outlet pass accuracy after a rebound. I’ve seen him more than once throw darts to guards from the basket to mid court.

With some of the "rumors" involving clarity by certain people, it gives Monte a lot of options moving forward. A lot.

Are you hinting even Domas could be expandable?

 

[serbiangoat]

If you can get a Jonas level C instead of Sabonis (which the Kings have)on a significantly lower salary and a PG or SF Allstar level player becomes available you would probably pull the trigger imo would you not? If Jonas were in the 24-28 years old range it would be a no brainer but it's a bit tougher with him getting past the 30's i guess

Factoring in playoffs there statistics are very similar with Jonas being more effective on a much larger sample size.

I don't think he will get overweight.

 

[Jdbraver137]

I don't think he will get overweight.

Imagine how he could box out with a special puffer fish defense.

What IF the KINGS had Jonas all season? How many more wins might they have?

Seeing his impact since the trade really shows how much this team was missing beforehand. Same goes for LaRavia too, just at a different level.

We'd be 63-0.
