    Called it. Good player, would make even more sense if Smart was still here, but it is what it is.

    Like him a whole lot better than Rui.

    Rui + Kessler would be terrible.

    Sandro/Walker is going to be like Naz Reid/Gobert.

    I kind of remember catching a late season game with him as a Spur (?) exploding from 3, other than that I don't think this signing makes sense

    I have to get more informed about him, don't really get the hype for such a big contract and we betting on him for starting at the 4.

    He does play hard, can shoot, rebounds and gives us a stretch 5 option. But from what I read he isn't great at defense. I'd see him as a nice backup below 10mil, not a starting piece at 13 for 4 years.

    Will give him the benefit of the doubt, clearly someone saw something on him in the FO/Luka so let's hope it works

    His defensive rating last season was 112. Rui’s was 119. League average at the position is 114.

    Rui shot a little better from 3 but Mamu was at 39%. Besides that, he was better than Rui in literally every category. Sandro will surprise people.

    Can he be even a tiny speed bump to LeBron on offense? Swear to G when he is heathy he's going to be on a Russ like mission to destroy us, but unlike him can actually do it AND without the brain farts nullifying everything else.

    ^^^ looks like a big NO with NO vertical really, but looks like an active 240lb player and can shoot?
