    His hops are unreal, he floats, every time he goes up for a layup or dunk it’s a show

    Guys is such a steal for the amount of money we paid him.

    Klutch deserves credit here so far.

    And Ham for figuring out how to best utilize him

    Yeah actual props to Rob on this signing. He nailed this one. Also Brown. While I’m not convinced Brown is starting material (and who expects that from a vet min player) he had a great bounce back game last night after a futile night vs the Suns. 4 for 5 and knocked down some important threes early on. He’s not great but he’s at least a capable wing defender.

    Back to Walker he has really been a huge boost this season with his ability to score at will, knock down big shots and explode in the open court. Plus he’s a better defender than Monk with equal athleticism.

    I wasn’t wowed on it since I wasn’t familiar with either of them. But I didn’t totally hate on it for the same reason.

    Yes. Yes we did- before we saw him play in the PNG. I know I was wrong. Props to the Scouting Department and Rob for bringing him in.

    Luckily for me, I said that I did not quite understand the signing (because we could have kept Monk), but "...I'll wait".

    Yup, it was worth the wait. :)

    See .... in this case I think it's a great thing because it would be good to keep him with this kind of talent and room to continue to get even better into and during his prime. And Klutch can maybe help to convince him, if he keeps playing well all year, to not chase more money elsewhere in the off season. But rather accept the raise we can give him with early Bird and then going forward. To be a piece post LeBron, hopefully Reaves too obviously, alongside AD. And can show our good faith and how it worked out for KCP with fair money for his abilities.

    His stats right now:

    17/2/2 & 1 steal, shooting 36% for 3. It's really pretty solid.

    Church mouse quiet in the first 3 Qs. Really came alive in the 4th, especially during Bron's rest.

    Nice final line of 19 points in a team high 39 minutes.

    Ham must run some weird synchronized drills in practice.

    Regarding this one, maybe there's a Red Foreman drill
