Muscala trade, letting Caruso go, Pip Jr. no backup C for ages, getting Westbrook... i don't know man, i wouldn't hold my breath.
i'll give the FO a pass on pippen jr. there was nothing about him that screamed NBA caliber player during his time with the lakers and in the g-league everything else though? 100%
You can't play PG on a Lebron James team, unless you are also a decent 2 guard. Remember how Rondo had an out of body experience, and was knocking down shots all over the place in the bubble?
Don’t forget Jay Huff. Many of us here wanted to keep him. I think he’s better than any of our current third string bigs.
yep Huff was another Olivari like head scratcher. A big who had a decent jumper and was good enough on defense to be a positive seemed like something you should develop. (agree I didn't see the same in Pippen he looked too small to be effective in the NBA from when he got minutes)
pretty sure we can shuffle these willy nilly? my initial hope was we had a trade lined up to clear a roster spot and were going to give him an actual deal. but maybe that was silly.
pretty sure he'd be free to re-sign with the lakers if another team doesn't claim him during the waiver period
Maybe we promised him a contract post-deadline with a slot we are opening up? One can hope, deadline is on Feb 6
we need to bring this guy back...he's gonna end up on an NBA roster and he's going to Scotty Pippen Jr it WAY harder than SP Jr....
the fact that he hasn't been picked up already is surprising. or maybe he's just not as good as we think and the rest of the league thinks the same
but not on a two-way...so anyone could snatch him up. guess lots of rosters are full, but there are two-ways out there...
