    D69 has long talked about he like Skal coming here. If it's just for Swanigan, it's a win.

    I'll be fascinated to see Skal play, but that's definitely not a "needle mover".

    Great trade. Not a 'needle mover', but a good low risk move

    Nope it’s not, but Skal at least has flashed nba ability.

    Another low risk move. Don't think Skal will do much. But hey.

    It's almost a 'nothing' deal....but to get anything for Swanigan, is likely a good deal.

    Yep. I could definitely see a Collins-Skal reserve frontcourt being effective if they both develop.

    The real news here is NeO admits the Caleb pick was a bust cause usually NeO hangs on to the players he drafts til hell or highwater then gives them a new contract for more then they are worth.

    Skal moves my needle in the wrong direction (though I can't believe we only gave up Swanigone for him).
