Yeah we needed his defense a year ago. I could actually see him have Gary Payton Jr type of late career breakout as a lockdown bench defender. If he could somehow get back to that 32-35 3pt% that we saw from him his 2nd and 3rd year in the league he could find a rotation spot somewhere.A year late.
I think he was drafted into a bad situation and then traded to another bad situation. If he would have been drafted by the celtics and put into Marcus Smarts role I think we would view him pretty similarly.Maybe front office saw something recently that we didn't ?
What do you mean we?Maybe front office saw something recently that we didn't ?
You only saw this as being 1 year too late, maybe they saw it differentlyWhat do you mean we?
Yeah, they're late. Perfect buy low guy. Actually not even buying low. Picking it up curbside. I've been pining for him for a while. It would have made more sense to have him on the team now because we had him a year ago, too.You only saw this as being 1 year too late, maybe they saw it differently
I can't remember the waiver claim process off the top of my head. I would bet SA is still under the floor and claims him. Saves Orlando money and is essentially free for the Spurs. Miami does this type of stuff when ducking the tax...Should have waited for Hampton
Jazz can't release Westbrook if they don't sign somebody, as they would be down to 12 players which is not allowed (a team can be down to 13 players, but at max two weeks; Jazz still has 11 days to get to 14). Prolly the reason (10 day contracts count for the minimun of 13 (14) players). This gives Jazz time to look for somebody, and if Dunn seems to be ok, he might very well be signed for the end of the season.What fresh hell is this?
Why are we hoarding bad, ball-dominant combo guards?

I am guessing we would have know RJ is getting waived and also may have known which team is claiming him... but maybe not. I certainly would take a flier on him over these guys.
