    McGruder and Gay released by GS. Weird, especially the first one. They have 13 guys in the roster now.

    Guys trying to shake Wemby with their fancy handles and he's just like -- "man, I got 8-foot wingspan, watch this!".

    So skinny and so talented, lol.

    Right there with you. In the modern era, I consider the Spurs our biggest rival.

    Maybe the former did the “banana trick” one too many times at practice?
    Oh wait, that’s “McGruber.”
    Anyway, they are the same to me.

    I think his biggest strength is his mindset. Health permits, he's gonna be a multiple champion

    They waived McGyver? Seems like a bad idea. He can get you out of tight spots.

    Wemby’s talent is undeniable, but I’m still not a believer in his health. He’s simply too tall. Players that tall always get some career hampering injury and come back even slower than they were (admittedly Wemby is pretty fast for his size).

    Times change and he might be the first at his height to survive, but I need to see it for quite a while to believe he’s going to stay healthy.

    One has to fear for him the leg planted / big body falls into leg / s*** happens variety of injury considering what those do to strong muscular legs and knee and ankle joints.

    The Warriors start the season off with 13 guys. I wonder if they will be eying a trade, sending out a decent contract for a couple of players. ( Chris Paul)? (Wiggins)?

    It really looks like they're cooking something. They could do it later though, don't think they trade CP3 now. Maybe they want to save a couple millions considering their insane tax bill lol

    Yeah, most the cap gurus think they're just looking to save a few bucks. They have two weeks to add a 14th and each of the guys they just cut are in the mix to be one of those added back.

    Damn, huge loss for them.

    But that should help lower his value. His game isn't relying on athleticism so if he is healthy next year, throw the tax payer MLE at him in 2025.
