I guess my question is, does the Harper signing occurring today change anything versus waiting another week & a half?

It means that Vooch is close to returning, because they let Charles Bassey go to make room for Harper?s salary.  I think they have salary space to sign someone else the last day, but I am not 100% sure.

He didn't look great tonight, but the most important thing is that he returned to the lineup with a couple weeks to spare.

Tatum is averaging over 10 rebounds a game since he has been back, which is a career high.

If we assume that this is Tatum's "new style of play" post-injury, it seems like he may be more of a jump shooter and facilitator who can slash when he wants but doesn't rely on it as much. And who puts a personal premium on grabbing boards.

It reminds me of 2nd-half-of-his-career LeBron truthfully.

Not quite sure what you are trying to argue, but Tatum is averaging 10.2 drives per game this season, compared to 10.3 last season and 9.2 the season before, so I think he slashing about as much as normal.  Unless you are meaning something else by slashing.
