The San Antonio Spurs renounced the free agent rights to Romeo Langford.

Shocking.

Ya. Years ago somone called me out when I said Romeo was officially a bust after a 1-11 shooting game for Maine. He said he’d hold me to it and that post wouldn’t age well. 🤔

Yah Romeo doesn’t appear to be an NBA player at this point. I’m sure he will do well overseas and make a good living

Had talent, but seemed to lack passion and drive to excel. Rested on his top 5 HS laurels.  Defended well, but just too passive on offense, also struggled to finish more than he should have.

He was actually playing well when he got minutes he was just hurt a lot again.  The guy can't stay on a basketball court.

We definitely had some pretty vocal Pro Romeo people on here. I still think the Gerald Green people (first go-around) take the cake, though.

Adrian Wojnarowski: Free agent F Montrezl Harrell has agreed on a one-year deal to return to the Philadelphia 76ers, sources tell ESPN.

I don't like that. They are better off playing Mo Bamba than M Harrell. Bamba gives them solid defense. Harrell just knows how to feed himself. Not play team ball.

[Who]

So Philly now have

G: Maxey, Beverley
G: Harden, D Melton
F: T Harris
F: PJ Tucker
C: Embiid, Mo Bamba, M Harrell

Good backcourt depth. Okay center depth. No forward depth yet.

No real wing players either. Harden is the only real wing. Harris and PJ Tucker both big forwards. Slow footed big forwards. The backcourt other than Harden are all 6-2 guards. Limited in the matchup game.

Now, they are a team that could really benefit from adding someone like Terrence Davis.

[Celtics4ever]

Same flawed guys and the key to beating them is Embiid is only great for three quarters then he wears down.   This squad is less dangerous than last year.

[Vermont Green]

Neither Mo Bamba or Montrezl Harrell are really that good.  I would have no interest in either.  Not concerned in the least that they will be sitting at the end of PHI's bench this season.  And if they actually play, it is probably a bad sign for PHI.

I don't think that was me, but I admittedly was a Romeo supporter.  I did say Romeo would beat out Nesmith in the 2021 preseason.  Ultimately neither lasted to the 2022 preseason.

He was always so passive offensively. I’m a firm believer that you can spot losers in summer league. If you are not impressing in summer league or G League, you are more than likely a bust. Success in summer league or G League doesn’t guarantee NBA success, but failure “guarantees” NBA failure IMO. Although Max Strus is one exception.

Sixers fans are livid they brought him back, but many think this was a wink wink deal for Harrell opting out because it saves them a little under luxury cap but Harrell makes same amount of money.

I saw the same explanation:

Yossi Gozlan: Montrezl Harrell’s player option amount he declined was $2.76M. His veteran minimum this year is $2.89M thanks to the cap rising. The Sixers would’ve had a $2.76M cap hit in their books had he opted in. Instead his new salary this year will only count as $2.02M. Everybody wins. 10 hours ago – via

Ahh, that is really cool.
