    I’ll dive deeper once I get into work. Gonna be a productive Friday lol. But I wanna see if Gortat is still productive. He also always gave Nurk fits and would help him get better.

    Crap, I didn't realize Teodosic had been waived. I also didn't realize he'd been so marginalized in LAC (although after the SGA draft pick, I can understand it).

    Dallas should pick him up to add to their stash of Euro dudes.

    So who actually takes the hit on Jordan? Roto has him staying in New York. So probably not a buyout?

    Not quite. They simply have to be waived by March 1. They could be signed as late as the last day of the regular season and still be playoff eligible.

    Part of the reason Neil chose to not break up the hood trade by using the Vonleh exception then create 2 new exceptions is then we wouldnt have been able to sign a waived player to a prorated exception.

    Btw didn’t we go after a couple guys last year? I know Belinelli was one but I could’ve sworn Ilyasova was another target.

    I can see why Neil would be frustrated but I don’t think it has anything to do with market size. Seeding is probably a much bigger factor. We’re sitting in a better spot now than last year.

    Why the fuck didn't Atlanta trade those guys? They make some really good moves and some head scratching ones (Doncic).

    I was thinking the same. If ether goes down they have a problem. If I had to choose one position to add depth to in case of injury I would go with adding a defensive minded veteran center. Rolo would fit that description.

    Greg Monroe jumped out to me. I always thought he was overrated and wouldn't be a good fit here, but, man, his star fell fast.

    I think Portland would have a good shot at landing Rolo if Golden State passes/goes with someone else. System familiarity would be a huge advantage.

    Gortat and Rolo are both linked with GS. We should have a shot at one of em. Houston is getting Capela back in a few weeks and Faried has been great for them. They're prolly out of market for a big.
