    Wasn't this guy just traded? I'm familiar. Good flyer.

    Sissoko went from San Antonio, to Sacramento, to Washington Wizards in recent trades, then was cut by the Wizards.

    More like a deprogramming from G league rat ball.

    Do the coaches have a track record of developing young talent? I guess it's a moot point when he's replacing Taze.

    True consolation to not getting Cooper. What a relief. Everyone relax.

    Do we give them credit for developing Banton? Scoot? Shae? Tou?

    after seeing a 20 second clip of him I’m convinced this is an absolute steal and makes the deadline an A+++. /s

    I’m sure he’ll like having Scoot and Pooh around again. Rupert is slightly younger—he’s just a kid.

    Sounds like someone worth taking a flier on. Give him 2-3 years and see what he can become. Low risk.

    Do you fuckers have any idea how much it costs to get the needle on my sarcasm detector straightened or replaced every other post?

    Better use of the spot than Taze, but I don't think he's got much a path to becoming an impactful NBA guy.

    Wasn't a fan of his in the draft. Doesn't really have a bankable skill and is one of those guys who looks he should be able to shoot when you just watch highlights, but his mechanics have always varied so much and has never shown any sort of consistency there.

    ...which is kind of the story of his whole game....his size, the way he moves, the flashes of intriguing playmaking feel...when the shot goes in you see the vision, but on play to play basis the overall positive impact just isn't there and he doesn't have that special skill to get him on the floor which has equaled little NBA opportunities so far.

    Did anyone watch the remix last night?
    Looks like he had a great game.
    22/5/7 with fantastic shooting percentages and an unbelievable +/- of +40
