    We should probably keep this guy. I like what him and Ingram are doing defensively for this team.

    Keeper.
    His second 10 day contract should be ending soon.

    Nwaba did a fantastic job guarding Labron and that swatt on Irving was stellar.

    There were multiple plays where Labron either missed a shot, or had to pass because Nwaba wouldn't give him an opening to exploit. I'm sure LaBronz had another gear he could have gone to, but the fact that Nwaba can contain Labron at all, even though he's much smaller, and the fight he had, coming from the D league to guarding the leagues best tells me he just earned a roster spot for the rest of the season and hopefully next season as well.

    The dunk or the block can't decide which was better. He flattened the ball on the block and the dunk all over RJ. Perfect energy guy off the bench.

    Do it Rob!

    This kid brings winning energy. I love him.

    We had him playing basically PF for a second there too and he's not bad at it. He's finding ways to affect the game using his tools. That's exactly the sort of player we needed all year long.

    I hope they keep him for the final 12 games or so. More or less a third 10 day contract. Couldn't hurt. He should be back next season probably on an unguaranteed contract. If we don't sign him I know someone else will. He deserves that at least. Also that alley dunk made number 2 on NBA.com. That was noice! Should've been number 1 but you know, gotta keep LBJ with his simple baseline dunk in first place.

    Can't do a third 10-day. Gotta sign him or cut him loose.

    That's why he said "more or less"

    Pretty sure he knows, just saying it's not far off from being the rest of the season

    Yeah actually I did know. But it was poor wording. When his contract ends there would be about 9 games left, definitely more than 10 days. Maybe I should have wrote 10 game contract. :D

    Understood! And apologies if I offended.

    It looks like each of his ten-day contracts have paid $32k. If he's signed for the rest of the season, it looks like he'll make another $74K. Not a bad payday. :)

    I'd be surprised if they don't sign him. He deserves reppin the purple and gold.

    waive MWP to create the extra roster spot.

    We let Nwaba go another team is surely going to pick him up.

    What other players do you want to evaluate? Let the guy develop some chemistry and instill a defensive mindset with the team.
