Bucks nabbed him.

Sf/pf that went undrafted. Super high motor, high IQ, good pickup for them

I didn't realize his 3pt shot had become almost serviceable in the last year. Gives him a shot of being in the league.

E’Twan Moore just signed with Phoenix for 2.4M. I think it would have been nice to have him add some scoring punch off the bench. Or are we better off with Teague?

I'd take Moore. But based on how small the team likes to go sure C's like Teague more.

I disagree.  I think they've wasted cap space and roster spots on short term improvements that might not even make them a playoff team at the expense of potential longer term title aspirations.  They should be putting players around Young that fits Young's timeline.  They shouldn't be signing guys like Hayward and Rondo that will just take minutes from young players that might actually be useful when Young hits his prime.

Just his hustle alone as a third string big man is worth the gamble.

I really wanted Nate Hinton too, but I see he was nabbed. That is a good grab by Dallas(?)

  I like TT much more than Turner McDermott. That’s night and day for me. I don’t even want Turner added here for nothing. I don’t want his dogging it rubbing off on the team. We get a less talented player but a guy who will battle for us.
   I’m guessing but I bet Brad hated this move but Danny did it anyways .  makes me love it even more. But Brad’s gotta play him. That’s the key. Brad has to move away from the hard line commitment to analytics if he knows how to coach another way that is. He’s smart. I should think so.

Analytics would actually suggest us to add a big like Thompson???

Agreed - Atlanta has been a train wreck but they have been a train wreck before this off-season so no surprise here. They are a team without a plan.

More concerned with pumping up Trae Young than they are with winning a Championship.

Austin Rivers signs 3 year / $10 mill deal with knicks

Another dumb contract for the Knicks. Wasting their cap flexibility for future seasons - as usual.

Are you implying that actual analytics is more complicated than "3s=good"? That's ridiculous!

[dannyboy35]

  I think Brad probably hates this move. But I love it.

I like POR's offseason better. They continue to be one of the best run teams in the NBA.
