There it is. That 'Left Knee' issue almost every player on the roster had late last season.

With Shae out, I presume we will finally have an opportunity to evaluate Jeenathon Williams.

Can someone explain why the Blazers gave this guy a two-year contract though? That seemed out of left field considering all our other G-Leaguers got 10-day tryouts?

Spurs will not go out to tank the game. There in there position with there record due a lot of youth on that team but they go out and they played hard. Been watching them all season so I know there going to bring it. Zach Collins you going see a different player especially on the offense end where he more aggressive trying to score that one improvement I seen him through this year. Spurs actually got some good young players that plays for them. Blazers lately been given Sharpe his shot glade to see and they also got some unknown players from the G-league that also goes out and play hard due to this is audition for either the blazers or some other team for next year.

Out of pure curiousity if a team doesn't have enough players to meet the minimum requirements would that count as a forfeit? Now THAT is a level of tanking that would cause the league to really lose their shit.
