It’s being reported to be a ten day. That leaves Olshey the option to go after a buyout, should a guy like Porter become available. If not, RHJ gets signed for the rest of the season.
Fun fact: Last season RHJ had superior “RPM wins” to the following wings Otto Porter Jae Crowder Andrew Wiggins Demar DeRozan Derrick Jones Jr. Moe Harkless Rodney Hood For a mid season pickup, this was a good move. And with time I could probably convince myself he’s a better pickup than Porter would’ve been.
Is Porter a good player? Seems to have sputtered at best, but maybe the change of scenery would help.
Here’s Porter this season vs RHJ last season. The minutes per game were comparable (19 vs 21,) so this isn’t even a case of mop up minutes vs rotation player. maybe we don’t even need Porter.
Yes, I remember the discussion. I agreed with you. He is a solid choice to help with depth when and if we match up with the Clippers and Lakers.
Not really a great fit other than maybe during certain situations? Someone earlier in the thread said something about taking Little's minutes? I sure hope he doesn't.
I really think Rondae could stick on this team past this season. He does a lot of things this team needs. Can't shoot obviously, which makes him unplayable in the playoffs, but as a minimum depth piece? I like him more than Melo.
