After making two deadline-day trades that bumped its roster to 16 players, the Thunder is expected to waive seldom-used reserve center Mo Sene, according to a league source with knowledge of the team’s plans.

Wow.
He didn't really pan out following his hype.

Wouldn't really mind to pick him up for a "Why the heck not" type of reason.
We don't really have a backup to Hawes now.

Considering every deal from the last several days has been for immediate cost-cutting reasons (except Noc) and our roster is filled to the brim, particularly with big men, I doubt we sign a bust center in a "why the heck not" move.

Yeah, saw that coming from the moment I saw my first grainy Saer Sene game video.

You could have at least told the Thunder.

We have Calvin Booth for the rest of the season. I'm suspecting he will be the backup to Hawes

Ha. I think Saer is one of those where no one ends up reaping the benefit.

Another 2006 lottery pick gone bust.

That. Draft. Sucked.

Well, he's now worth taking a flyer on--comes cheap, still only 22, and actually has posted up pretty good PERs in the few minutes he's received. There's the shotblocking and rebounding ability that comes with athletic bigs, and in the few games I've seen of him he seems pretty reactive and mobile. He's got a long way to go in actually understanding the game and developing some offense, but if he can specialize as a defensive big it's not bad. After not getting Patrick O'Bryant he's not too bad as a secondary young 7 footer option behind Hawes to develop.

I still remember Sene came to the States a yr or two before the draft and played in a quasi youngsters All-Star game televised on tv where he just dominated defensively against, I was told by the play by play people, top US competition. He was like a skinny 7 foot Ben Wallace.

I don't know what went wrong with Seattle and OKC, but the kid has potential.
