To be fair, this timeline in the court probably was decided well before Covid. Woj's tweet and ensuing mother shaming is unwarranted.
Melo was only on the rocks about potentially sitting out too, but he's fairly replaceable with Zach. That would actually solve a potential minutes crunch actually if Zach took over. Ariza will be tougher to replace.
I totally support Trevor. He will be missed. But being a dad takes priority. Man! i feel for him. Obviously this custody case is a nasty one.
If they play LA in round one, they should sign a recent Laker and just get insight from him. Like Troy Daniels.
I understand and agree with Ariza's decision, though I am disappointed. I think we had a chance to surprise some people with our team and the return of Nurk and Colllins. I still think we could, but Ariza was a big part of that, so it's definitely a blow to the team. He brought a few things to the team that we don't otherwise have. All that being said..... the Champion of the 19-20 season would have an asterisk on their accomplishment, from my perspective, anyway (unless Portland won it all, then it's legit).
We have Trent and Little. And tbh, a 35 years old Ariza can't be the difference between a good and a bad team
1. He's currently playing for Real Madrid, whose season restarted a couple of weeks ago (because Spain actually flattened the curve) 2. He's not very good any more. If we're getting anyone from Real Madrid, I want Campazzo. (He can help tutor Bolmaro when we draft him.)
Here's one list of available players: There are plenty of of notable free agents and former G League players who are eligible to be signed including DeMarcus Cousins, Isaiah Thomas, Darren Collison, Jamal Crawford, Iman Shumpert, JR Smith, Nik Stauskas, Kenneth Faried, Tyler Zeller, Jerian Grant, Corey Brewer, Tyler Johnson, Jodie Meeks, Michael Beasley, Nick Young, Trey Burke, Allen Crabbe, Jordan Bell, Justin Anderson, Tim Frazier, Tyrone Wallace, Ivan Rabb, Jarrod Uthoff, Amile Jefferson, Jonah Bolden, Tyler Ennis, Josh Magette, JP Macura, Ryan Broekhoff and Yante Maten among others. Corey Brewer?
