    honestly, would it be that shocking if metta beat out yi and trob? not really. he's probably a better basketball player, even at this point.

    You're not wrong, but at this point in his career does Metta really bring any one skill that's valuable to this team? He doesn't really have anything to claim other than max effort, he's not a guard and he's not a big, he's right in the middle where we don't need anyone. He can't dribble if we need a guy to handle the ball, he can't shoot, he's not big enough to be a rebounder or shot blocker. At the very least with Yi (who I don't like so far at all) and Robinson you are getting big bodies with 6 fouls to give. I dunno, I can't see a role for MWP on this team as a player anymore.

    Yi is going to make the teams as he brings a different "skillset" on the roster imo.

    T-Rob doesn't do something the others bigs can't do and there is no PT for Metta ... Deng being that veteran presence in the locker room

    I think he'll be hired later as a defensive coach

    Don't you have to be able to shoot and dribble for that?

    Sadly this all is true.

    But Ron will always have a special place in our hearts.

    Metta walks into the locker room, Luke is showering....

    Metta: "Hey, ah, I'm gonna be on the team, just wanted to let you know." Proceeds to stare at Luke, waiting for confirmation.

    Luke with Shampoo still in his hair.....

    Luke: "Ah, ok."

    Metta: "Thanks Luke, see you at practice." Leaves....

    Luke: Standing with shampoo draining off now. Has no clue what just happened.

    Metta probably pulled a variation on the Kobe trick, where he sought out/confronted Kobe in the lockeroom showers and said he could help him get a ring.

    Metta wandered into Luke's bathroom while he was showering with a grass fed loofah and liquid soap. Metta made him an offer he couldn't refuse, sign him or he would find Sarah Jessica Parker's head in his bed.
