Trevor Booker

So is it over? Did he sign with another team? Have we expressed interest at all?

We don’t have a roster spot right now... if they did cut Bradley it would be once camp opens or after the preseason if he struggles. Booker likely doesn’t get a spot before then. Haven’t seen that he signed anywhere yet.

Your not bright at all. You put a scenario of Booker being a SF. He's never been a SF because his skill isn't that of a SF. Positions are based on skill, not size. Joe, Bojan aren't Power Forwards! Has nothing to do with their size. Trevor Booker is a Power Forward at 6 ft 8. Dennis Rodman is 6 ft 7 and out-guarded almost every Power Forward in the league even though they were taller than him. He's ranked #23 all time in rebounds. Charles Barkley was 6 ft 6 and was a Power Forward. Height has nothing to do with position. There were just as many "undersized" Power Forwards back then as there are today. It's just today the Power Forwards aren't confined to the post.
And we do have a Power Forward, his name is Ed Davis. The rest of the time we play today's world of "position-less basketball".

Look up the rosters of the other 29 team in the NBA and look at their PF's before you continue to open your mouth and look stupid. It's as though you haven't watched basketball in a long long time.

You're saying I'm not bright by saying that size doesn't matter for position in the NBA. You back that up by pointing out the handful of exceptions to the rule by comparing Trevor Booker to Charles Barkley. Charles Barkley, Rodman etc were able to play bigger because they had exceptional skill, Trevor Booker doesn't have exceptional skill.

What a moron

The attribute common to Barkley, Rodman, Draymond, and Ben Wallace isn’t skill, it’s strength and hustle. Perhaps more to the point, one doesn’t have to be a star in order to be an NBA player.
 
Barkley could score, Draymond can run the offense, Rodman had tremendous leaping ability, Wallace was a physical specimen with long arms.

Again... trevor booker is a very average NBA player that is playing smaller than the normal size for his position. The guy was great when he played here 5 years ago, but why would we need him here?

Jesus Christ, what is your peoples facination with average NBA players?

You might want to re-read my post if you thought that you addressed my point.

What don't you understand about the nature of what an out-of-rotation player is? You think we're going to get an above-average player on the free agent market in September, or do you believe - based on 0 evidence - that Bradley is better? Does Bradley possess any qualities that makes him useful in his role; that of a player to be counted on in emergencies and in the locker room?

The league is also of full of non hall of fame "underdersized" powerforwards.

The current average size of the NBA PF is 6'9, Booker is not playing smaller than the "normal size" for his position.

He's also going to be like our third string guy at that spot, so I don't think anyone here is fascinated by him.

It's literally that he could serve in a pinch because I know he's a pro and hustles; that he might have just enough oomph in him to act as a curve-ball in his limited role; that when he doesn't play NBA minutes, he's going to make practices better; and he's going to strengthen the team culture by - as far as anyone anywhere can tell - being everyone's best friend and rep the **** out of the team. That is actually about the most you can hope for in a 10th-15th man.
