    Walker is not sign yet and they need to do something to make sure he at least a 2way player to retain him or sign him small contract for that 15 player.

    Fuck signing him to a 2way. Sign him to a three year deal.

    I think it’s advantageous for us to get him on a 2way. When we give him a 3 year deal some time in the season, we will have had him for 4 years at essentially a second rounder’s salary.

    Cheap end of the bench guys like Watford and Walker for the next 3-4 years will make it easier for us to overpay for guys in FA, which seems like the unfortunately reality. I really like that Walker is a good rebounder already at the PF position. If he can be a consistent shooter, he could end up being like Bobby Portis. He doesn’t seem to have Portis’ early attitude problems, and he would have Chauncey coaching vs Hoiberg.

    I’m excited to see how we draft in the second round with Schmitz vs the Niel era second rounders. With a timeline where we will probably be giving up 1sts to maximize Dame’s prime, we have to hit on second round picks.

    Yeah but we might be able to lock him in for three years at a cheap deal. Go look at what we're paying Trendon.

    Well, whatever happens, I’m betting he way overplays his pay in year 3 or 4.

    I’ve seen enough of Walker to know we need to sign him. He plays a position of need on our team.

    okay i take it back. After having watched the game, RJ was def. taking if seriously. I can respect that. If he really wants to do it, then this is the best place to start cutting teeth I suppose.
