    I don’t understand the Vincent signing. I didn’t even remember who that was at first.

    I’m assuming Schroeder is out after this signing. Is he known as a point of attack defender? If not, we’re going to miss Schroeder.

    I'm confused by this move...we got rid of Beas/Bamba to sign a point guard which was the LEAST important position of need?

    I think we gotta re-sign DLO still...but man the Vincent move is perplexing. Hopefully Beas/Bamba are still down to re-sign on the cheap after all these moves.

    A S&T would need to have DLo getting around 11M no?
    Schroder is gone for sure.

    Yeah we need to get a big with the vet min. If we can use that extra mil in someone, hopefully we snatch Powell or Landale

    Things I need to see before I rate this FA:
    - Rui and Reaves
    - Dlo
    - what big do we get

    With that said I really like Gabe Vincent - he was super clutch in the playoffs. Absolute gamer. But he's also very f***ing small at 6'2....anybody remember how good he was defensively?

    yeah i'm not super excited about the vincent signing. throwing all that money at a guy after one good postseason doesn't usually turn out well

    we all know his 3 pt shot will disappear the second he puts on a lakers uniform

    Have you watched any NBA this year? The playoffs at least?

    Damn, Watanabe with Suns. They are killing it

    Taurean Prince is a scrub, but his was fine on a 1 year 4.4 deal.

    However, I’m with everyone else, this is a horrible signing for the Gabe Vincent thing. He’s mostly a scrub, did okay at times for Mia. Totally doesn’t fit a need, another short combo guard which apparently Rob loves.

    The biggest thing for me is WAY TOO MUCH MONEY for a guy like this…. 33 mill?

    I expect Gabe Vincent to be on par of 4-6 mill per year kind of guy…. This screams mosgov.

    why is everyone so high on Yuta? He seems fine as an end of the bench guy, but I'm not seeing a difference maker. What am I missing here?

    I hate it, but the Suns are doing a good job building out that roster. Watanabe has some game. Bates-Diop was solid for the Spurs. Urbanos is a tough player.

    I don’t think so? I think if we did send DLo out in a sign and trade, DLo’s number could be whatever him and the receiving traded agree on.

    What matters is that our incoming salary doesn’t take us over the hard cap, and that salaries match enough for it to be a legal trade
