I wonder if the Thunder would be willing to part with Muscala as he’s over 30 and doesn’t seem to fit with their rebuild. Could really fill a need for Boston off the bench. Mike has Good size at 6’11”/240lbs and in just under 13mpg he’s giving the Thunder 10pts/6rebs while shooting 55% from the field, 38.5% from 3pt. Muscala is making $3.5M this season, so it would be great if he could be acquired for a 2nd round pick(or two)and a trade exception.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

TPs to those who nailed it.

No major rumors around him, continuing the trend of "the player we pick up is someone that nobody even mentioned in the media."

I watched most of the Lakers/OKC game the other day and he didn’t look bad defensively. Muscala is a solid player. Could see him taking some of Grants minutes.  He’s also signed through next year which is great.

Mikes Per36 this year: 15.3pts, 7.8rebs, 2.2ast, 1.1blk

Grant Williams per36 this year: 11.4pts, 6.1rebs, 2.2ast, 0.5blk

Depending on Muscala's mobility, couldn't they share the floor in 2nd unit small ball line-ups?

Yeah, I could see that. Especially with Rob and Al currently dinged up. Mike has way better mobility than Gallinari.

He might take some of Sam Hauer's minutes too.
