    Well, Zeller for the min is a win, assuming it's a min.

    There has to be a logical reason why they signed McLemore, it just makes no sense otherwise.

    Bench shooters have value. At the minimum, you'll probably find some spot minutes during the season.

    But yeah, by my count we have 4 more roster spots? Hopefully there's some more guys that make sense.....

    Anfernee is trade bait IMO

    Going into year 4 and he’s still a fringe rotation player at best.

    Wish we could add someone on the wing, but Neil seems allergic.

    Dame/Ant
    CJ/Ben
    Norm/Little/Elleby
    Roco/DJJ
    Nurk/Zeller

    Gives us all of 4 players taller than 6'3", smaller than 6'10". A spot some see the most importance of in the league.
    Still, it's day 1.

    James Ennis is still available as a wing that plays hard defense and shot 40% from three last year.

    so he's trade bait because they signed a guy going into his 8th season who is barely a fringe rotation player if he's lucky?

    That's idiotic.

    it's funny how Haynes went out of his way to report that Porter took less to go to GS.

    punch to the gut.

    I think Simons goes. Or Little. Jones for sure. CJ too.

    When has Porter Jr. stayed healthy? Maybe early days with the Wiz. He's under performed from what was projected from him. Maybe some of it was , his coaches didn't trust he could stay healthy. But i'm not bummed by this at all.

    I think Oubre's talent blows Porter Jr's out of the water.

    Back to Phoenix.......$120 to CP3 seems crazy to me. 2 years I can see, but 4 years?

    Again, how can Miami doing all this signing? Lowry, Robinson, Butler, PJ, Bam and now DeRozan too? Where are they getting all this money? We have a billionaire owner and we can’t even sign anyone.

    Here's a thought:

    What if we just don't spend the full TPMLE? Save some cash for Jody?

    Simons averaged almost 8 points a game in a system where he was instructed to basically just shoot threes. so act like he's a "fringe rotational player" is as ignorant as the claim people made that there was no way zach collins was going to get an offer.
