    We need to have a scout in France, they have some decent talent over there.

    I figured that's why we had Traore on the roster.

    Waiving Reddish makes the most sense to me. Its already a little awkward with the rescinded trade and we have a lot of good wings now.

    i think the issue is that reddish can physically play right now and is insurance if DFS or vando goes down (very poor man's insurance, but insurance).

    Yeah I rather keep Reddish. He had some good moments this year and is a position of need. If we get a center, we already have Kieff doing Wood's role, so one of them is redundant.
    It's probably going to be Wood, he will be like 1 year without playing, even if he comes back it's probably not in time to become serviceable
    We also lost a vet with AD and our team is quite young

    Kief said that he was shocked and hurt to be traded. Said he expected to retire in Dallas, and had put some roots down, and bought a new house, and was about to buy some land. Lol..he said his first reaction to being traded, was " Who in the hell traded for me? We should send him on back, to his chosen place of retirement.

    Jericho sims should ask Milwaukee for a buyout.He’ll get no minutes there and the Lakers want to give him minutes here.

    It's the type of insurance that requires you to take out a HELOC just to pay the deductible.

    That wouldn't suck. Does he play decent defense or rim protect or rebound at all?
