    In the minority but I'd take Gabriel over a backup pg. His defensive potential is extremely exciting.

    I wonder how many of the fans who are OK with the Giles signing were opposed to drafting Tillie due to his injury issues?

    different sitch. using a limited draft pick v. taking a flier and signing dude to a minimum contract. if Giles were an UFA and signed, that’s more apples to apples.

    This brings up a couple other questions that I may have missed or skipped in other threads. With all the agreements and plans that had to occur to get where we are for the upcoming season, where did the league land on the G league and two way contracts? Were there any changes?

    the latest I read was there will be g league this season, just altered. Also, two way guys can spend more time on the active roster. But I also believe to have full use of two way guys teams have to have a full roster.

    Giles’ passing is going to give him an advantage to be nurks backup since well probably be able to run the same plays.

    That's a poor job of portraying Jason Quick!

    The full film is a lot less inspiring than the bb ref page or the highlights.

    Rooting for him, but his knee injuries have really hurt his movement skills and jumping ability. Hasn't really added much strength since he's been in the league either. Makes sense though, I'm not sure his body can handle it.

    Well done. Ya, mine has taken to my music interests. Which means pretty much everything Led Zeppelin to De La Soul to Miles Davis.
