Zaza Pachulia

I've heard he does not want to return to the Bucks. Possible King? He seams like he's what we need. I've read he is physical, has a good back to the basket game and is a tough defender. What do you think?
 
sounds like exactly what we need, though ive never heard of him...probly due to the fact he plays for the bucks. would he start? come off the bench? he's 6-11 so he has pretty good size which could allow brad to bump to the 4, right?

looks big and healthy, which probably won't last. the healthy part that is, not the big. he'll always be big, the health will quickly diminish if he becomes a king.

from what i've read, with more minutes he could develope into a player. not a dominate offensive player, but could add much needed depth with boards and paint presence. but hey, the clips are probably after him as well. and we all know how that goes for us.
 
I saw that note this morning as well. Don't really have a good enough feel for Zaza's game or potential to really assess it. Do know he likes to bang around in there, which sets him apart from many/most Euro big men, and he's got a post game (note, not really from Europe -- from Georgia (the country). Not sure of the defense. Not sure of the high end. Not sure if he's a starter, and not sure if he's a guy who's a solid player caught on a bad team, or one of those guys who got minutes just because the team was bad.

Anyway, a 6'11" combo PF/C is just what the doctor ordered for our team -- size and versatility. But I would think he would be penciled in as a new Pollard (with more offense, and maybe not as much defense) for us off the bench rather than a starter.


Of course if we do my freshly minted three way Sacto/Denver/Milwaulkee Peja/Miller for Bogut, Nene, Mason trade we may just clear up room for him. :)

SLIGHTLY more realistically, if Milwaulkee and Denver are actually talking Mason/Nene (and that was Chad Ford so giant grain of salt), I could see either Zaza signed and traded goign to replace Neen in denver, or more to Milwaulkee's liking, Joe Smith added to the deal so that Nene woould return adn Zaza woud be his backup. OF course the latter might not exactly be to Zaza's loking -- could be just as bad off as he was with Smith.

Stats from 2004-2005:

6.2 ppg, 5.1 rpg, .8 apg, .46 bpg.

At 21 years old, I wouldn't have a problem with giving him a chance.
 
I'd give him a chance, especially if we don't get anyone else like him.

Just don't pay too much money(:D) or trade Bobby...wait.....lol
 
so whats the deal with his contract? how much is he asking for? if we need to trade for him then who do we trade? however it happens i wouldnt mind seeing him in a kings jersey.

Very cool Pixie.



Anyway, with a name like Zsa Zsa, this guy will need a platinum-blonde wig and lots of makeup and jewelry. Darling.
 
Today 7/26 Milwaukee paper says he will sign with east coast team. So bye bye to this option.

One thing to consider, the Bucks chose to resign Gadzuric over him...

Gadzuric is considerably underrated. Big time rebounder and shtoblocker. Very useful roleplayer.

But in any case, my impression was no that the Bucks weren't offering to keep Pachulia, but rather that Zaza was hesitating because of playing time concerns.
