    Because it's the Rose City?

    I don't see a point of Rose. Napier is a much better option off the bench.

    Look for any small forward that shows promise in G-League or in Europe, but right now it's pointless to sign anyone as starting tomorrow those players will not be available for the playoffs anyway.

    On 2K, I scouted the G League and stumbled upon Tyler Lydon, power forward who can shoot the three. I traded for him and then called him up from G League. He's doing great averaging 17 ppg.

    Didn't Von Wafer get picked up by Houston and then became an important piece in their playoff run to game 7 of the second round? Might've won if Yao didn't get hurt.

    I don’t think it works like that. As long as a player isn’t on a roster March 2, they’re eligible for the playoffs, as long as they sign before the regular season ends. Only ineligible players are the ones let go after today. That’s how I understand it, could be wrong.

    I think you are correct here.

    Here's an older article that talks about playoff eligibility criteria.
    https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2012/03/playoff-eligibility-for-late-season-additions.html

    Basically, as long as they are not on an NBA roster by end of today - they would most likely still be eligible for the playoffs.

    Actually, here's a better link:

    Wonder where he ends up. He might be one dimensional but it’s a dimension we could use. No way he comes here if he has other options though.

    We should try to get him just so we can corner the market on Shabazzes.

    He's horrible. He's like the Meyers of guards. No defense or any valuable skill. But instead of a big man who can only shoot slow ass 3s, he's a guard who can only shoot hook shots.

    Dude, Lydon is a member of the Nuggets who was drafted 24th this past draft. He is out for the season with a knee injury. This isn't 2k.

    I think you just made @KingSpeed's head explode.

    Which is what would have happened to @Mediocre Man if we'd drafted Lydon (big, white, American born from Syracuse).

    He is not a good fit for us because he can't shoot 3's. (although one year he shot 39%) But horrible might be a stretch. The Bucks obviously like him. He is a 6'6" wing who shot over 50% from 2pt range for 3 straight years.

    Lydon was the player I would have been the most pissed off about drafting. The Nuggets are fucking stupid for trading Donovan Mitchell for Lyles and Lydon.

    So, are there any other unsigned guys out there who would be of any value and would accept the Vet's Min. for the rest of the season? If not, will NO give one of our G-League guys a contract so that they'd be available for the playoffs?

    Yup. And they had Jokic, Plumlee, and Faried in the frontcourt already, with Millsap coming in later. Imagine a 3 guard lineup of Murray, Mitchell, and Harris... Damn that's legit.

    But they could've traded (I think IND wouldve taken this instead, Murray has a lot of value) Murray, Faried, Mudiay, Arthur, and picks for PG and Joseph and still signed Millsap.

    Mitchell / Joseph
    Harris / Barton
    George / Chandler
    Millsap / Hernangomez
    Jokic / Plumlee

    That team is scary good. Denver fucked up.
