    We dcan't let him go. We can also use his salary if needed for trades next year. Him and Beasley are going to be key for any trades and they both are young and have a skillset so we probably don't even need to attach any picks to them (maybe 1 pick at most).

    Good news. Hope he was at least in the weight room while he was off for the healthy parts of his body.

    Love that he's actually potentially coming back according to the projected timeline instead of being out an additional 2-3 weeks!

    I like having the option of Bamba especially against a bigger team like the Clippers (Zubac/Plumlee) and Suns (Ayton/Biyombo).

    Will be interesting to see where he slots into the rotation.

    Better matchup against Zu than Gabriel, regardless of AD's status.

    Yeah we actually need him this game especially if AD can't go...

    Let's get Bamba/LeBron minutes together

    This is important. Because depending on the matchup...he's going to be crucial for us in the playoffs potentially to spell AD

    Not much in Mo's back pocket against stronger guys his height ..... but yeah. Gabriel has the same problem and is much shorter, but probably stronger pound for pound and much quicker.

    mo's sheer size is maybe a bit underrated. his standing reach is incredible. he's not the sharpest or the quickest, but he's rangy as hell. can disrupt plays that even seasoned guys don't think can be disrupted.

    Biggest wingspan in the NBA is definitely helpful, especially in the paint where you can just eat up space by spreading your arms
