    To be frank, I'm still baffled by the fact that we still only have 13 players on the roster (not counting 2-way Watford). It makes me think (hope?) Olshey is waiting on something/someone before making his final move of the off-season.

    I'm not asking who you think it will be, or even what position you think it will be (though you're of course welcome to predict/ discuss that)--just how you think Neil will be filing that hole.

    Other = which one of Dame's relatives does he want on the bench this year.

    Well since Dame is obviously being traded, shouldn't it be on of CJ's relatives this year? Erick McCollum, come on down!!

    Olshey loves the buyout market.

    My hope would be he is waiting for that needle moving option.
    But reality says he will take a vet min buyout.

    I don't know why, but I just have this sinking feeling that RHJ is coming back.

    Tolliver is on the Sixers roster but his salary isn't guaranteed so he can be cut without penalty. I imagine they'll wait to see if they can use him as a salary to match in a trade and cut him after the trade deadline.

    Ed Davis, Boogie Cousins, a bought out K Love or a medically cleared Lamarcus would be my guess.

    I think he's more pear shaped than round

    How does that work for us financially if Love is bought out? What kind of deal does he get from us? A minimum?

    You don't want him. Did you watch him during the Olympic exhibitions?

    Depends on other teams, I'd guess. Might take more than the minimum to beat out other bidders. Then again, he might not be worth paying more than the minimum.
