    So he's basically untouchable?

    Ahhhhh, the late season dumpster dive after we failed to make any significant trades.

    Who's going to join me at the airport to hold the "WELCOME HOME BRANDON ROYUSH!" sign?

    If it's at the airport, and the picture is sufficiently blurry, no one will ever know.

    Hopefully this means Layman won’t be active. Unlike Jake, Rush has actually proven he can shoot a basketball and would be much more useful in an emergency.

    Hell I'd be fine if he started instead of Harkless.

    To be fair, considering the form of our other small forwards, I wouldn't be shocked if he gets significant minutes and manages to impress.

    I would have preferred to do something that Utah did with Royce O'Neale, i.e. pick up someone much younger who is out of NBA but has the potential to be a good 20 mpg player going forward but it's not that easy to come across such players and having veteran presence like Rush won't hurt.

    Rush is a such a bad and washed up player though. If someone gets hurt I'd rather put Baldwin out there or play Aminu at SF more.

    He is much worse than the SFs we're playing right now, and that's saying something.

    Laat season he played:
    Per 36: 6.9ppg, 3.5rpg, 1.6apg, 37FG%, 38 3pt%

    You're missing the point though: Olshey finally did something! One of the laziest GMs in the league actually got off his chair and did something.

    Maybe after a few reps he'll begin to actually scout unknown\undrafted players and give them a shot too, but that's a lot to ask from one of the laziest GMs in the league.

    I'll be honest, this is a puzzling move.
    When Turner & Harkless were playing like complete garbage...
    A player who can hit a three, and play a little defense at the forward spot would've made logic.

    But now that Turner & Harkless are playing much better, Harkless specifically... I just don't see why you then add a forward like rush.
    Well unless one is hurt.
    Turner does have a calf or leg injury whatever it is. Maybe it'll keep him out longer than expected, and they need a warm body to go against in practice.
