Yes, he's an injury risk. But it's a little like the draft - if you want to win big, sometimes you have to take a swing.
I would say it's hopeful that his injuries have been somewhat different:

Rob Williams could also be a target, if he is cheap. But, he is only 6-9, so I don't think he is a long-term starting solution for a contender. Portland had some high valuations for him in the past, as there were rumblings, that Lakers asked for him at TDL.
