Does this mean we renounced our rights to either Tacko or Waters?
Both are RFAs, so we can technically extend a QO to either but that doesn't seem to be the plan, and I'm 95% sure that QO would be for a full NBA deal at the 1-year minimum. A few weeks ago the news was that Tacko was still working out with Boston and would like to return, but Waters was working away from the team and was looking for a new opportunity.
I think we need a separate thread about Tacko. He is an intriguing player, but Brad never consistently used him based on his greatest asset which is that he's taller than everyone else. His presence requires a different style of play, which is to dump it into the post. I was hoping that this style would be a nice change-of-pace to confuse the defense with a mismatch. Hope he makes it somewhere.
Agree. The one game Tacko started the C's played zone defense and Tacko was very effective. It reminded me of his stint on the Red Claws, who played zone almost exclusively and fed Tacko consistently under the rim.
Defensively he roamed around unencumbered in the paint to great effect. Offensively he helped spread the floor because any catch down low resulted in a dunk or foul.
The Claws were nearly unbeatable in that setup. I think it could be successful with the right personnel in the NBA too.
