    I posted last summer that he would be a decent fit with our squad.
    Serviceable.

    With the center market so thin, it's smart to keep Mo just from an asset perspective. If we think we can get comparable value for our $5m, I think we move him if we can.

    Regarding Beas, Irwin said on his pod that he's asked around his contacts with the team and from what he's heard, Beas is gone. Period. They're not even entertaining bringing back for less. That surprised me a bit. To be that dead set before even seeing how FA plays out.

    Not sure who that is, and assume it’s a really bad idea to google it.

    referring to some dirty play we’ve seen from him the past. He basically dislocated a guy’s shoulder and took him out of action



    Kevin Love - and he won’t accept his apology

    It’s wild to me that Stanley can’t seem to stick anywhere. You could do a lot worse for your 13-15th man

    yeah, i'd take powell or plumlee at 5 over bamba at 10, but i don't think those are happening.

    weird stance to take. i guess we have reaves and christie at the sg spot, but we don't have any shooters like beasley on the team. yes, i know he sucked here, but he didn't suck elsewhere for many years. and we could cut him and use bird rights to sign him back cheaper, too. strange to just be like: nope.

    anyway, i figured he was gone one way or another, but deciding it before seeing the lay of the land is odd.

    Well Reaves shot close to 40% for the year and over 50% through three tough playoff series. Seems to me that we need to stop saying we don’t have any shooters other than Beas on the team.

    ooh not sure about better (check curry's stats, especially recently), but maybe cheaper. maybe i'm still hung up on theoretical beasley or former beasley.

    i caught it the first time. i owned dangerous on cassette tape.

    Just run it back. Don’t listen to LeBron’s whining about a 3rd star.

    sure; if that's the only number we care about. i should have said they've both been equally bad for the past couple of years. but beasley is larger, healthier, and five years younger. neither plays defense, which is a problem. and i think they'll cost a similar amount.

    i'm ok with neither. we've had terrible luck with "shooters" in that none of them can shoot here for whatever reason. so let's just move past it and try to win without them like we've done before.
