Wed Dec 28 2011 | 15:57 | Dallas also in pursuit of Przybilla |
ESPN's Marc Stein reports that the Mavericks are among the teams interested in signing Joel Przybilla. |
The Mavs are thin at center behind a struggling Brendan Haywood, so Przybilla makes some sense. However, he wouldn't be in line for major minutes even if he lands in Dallas, so the 32-year-old can safely be ignored in most formats. |

Thu Dec 1 2011 | 00:06 | Joel Przybilla on Blazers' radar at center |
Unrestricted free agent center Joel Przybilla is on the Blazers' radar according to team president Larry Miller. |
As he should be. The Blazers will start the year with Marcus Camby and Greg Oden at center, if they're lucky, and need somebody familiar with their system like Przybilla to give them 10 good minutes a night. Przybilla will have no real fantasy value this year. |

Mon Sep 12 2011 | 08:32 | Joel Przybilla wants to return to Milwaukee |
Joel Przybilla, an unrestricted free agent, is interested in signing with the Milwaukee Bucks. |
Przybilla would make for some solid veteran insurance behind Andrew Bogut assuming he's healthy, as the reserve big man has had some knee woes of his own recently. He began his career with the Bucks and said, "Milwaukee will be one of my top teams, definitely, for me, Milwaukee is home." The team played an undersized rookie in Larry Sanders as Bogut's primary backup last season, so it would make sense that the club would be in the market for a big man off the bench. |
