Anybody would be a better replacement for Goggles.

Looks like he's bounced around a lot since his NBA days, but you'd assume he'd be easily an upgrade on Williams. Not a bad signing.

I like this a lot.
Looks like he provides some size, shot blocking and interior presence.
Has bounced around a lot, but was good enough to play for a Euroleague team last season. Joined mid season and played out 24 games.

"Boone was the target of a "Hack-a-Shaq" by Golden State Warriors coach Don Nelson, in which a player is intentional fouled repeatedly to take advantage of his poor foul shooting. That season, Boone was second worst in the NBA in free-throw percentage among players with at least one hundred attempts, at 45.6%"
Omar Samhan the Crocs import last season would have been a good option.

Does anyone know if he will be suiting up for the Boxing Day game?
Boone is a good pickup for this time of year and what he's replacing. On paper seems to be an upgrade but time will tell.
Samhan backed out of his contract with NW Thunder to go play overseas in Puerto Rico and Belgium.
Boone is a mature and great team player. United are definitely the title favorites with him
