Another good signing. He hasn't played but you do not forget how to set screens, rebound and bang some bodies around. We aren't going to be relying on his shooting touch...lol. Why did we wait so long?
At least Tristan is a tough guy who plays a lot bigger than he is. I can't predict the future and don't know if he's going to be useful for us this season, but this is the right move to make.
Tristan is a rebounder and good length for our bigs if ad and LBJ are that slower cuz of the feet Tristan gonna have a block party
did these contracts have team options for next year as pincus suggested might happen? just curious as to how serious we are about each guy.
he's probably going to end up playing more minutes than Bamba in the playoffs he offers more defensively.
This was a tax / cost cutting / salary ballast move more than anything but like others have said, I could see Ham trying to use him. Although I hope he doesn't...the other guys have earned these minutes and bringing him Tristan at the end liek this could mess up our chemistry.
Have they earned minutes though? I like Wenyen, but he really shouldn’t be counted on as a rotation player in the playoffs. Also liked the Bamba pickup, but if anything, this should light a fire to bring energy when he gets his chances because if not, we have a vet that will bring the hustle waiting in the wings.
He also knows how to play with LeBron. Mo, on the other hand, hasn’t had a whole lot of time on the floor with James.
I'm not a big fan of TT, but he's a savvy vet who sets hard screens, plays D and boards. We need all of those things for the playoffs. Overall, good pickup I believe.
We definitely needed another big as insurance. But will Darvin play him? TBH Wenyen has looked cooked the past several games.
