    Really glad to see them extend his deal and that shows they value him around Yang and as a backup, floor stretcher. Congrats to Duop for getting another year!..I think it's 2.2 mill

    I don't see Doup pull the half effort thing. He doesn't have the talent of some, but he has effort in spades.

    I preferred Jabari over Duop

    Wonder how much of it came down to Duop being one of the only NBA players to have played with Yang.

    Surprised Jabari only got a two way. I was happy to have him as the 14th man. Though it's of course completely irrelevant in the big picture.

    yeah, the end of bench guys don't matter much. I just liked what Jabari could do a little more than Reath could. I liked Trendan Watford as well

    I think being just under 7’ and quick with a solid 3 pt shot who can backup both rotation centers made Duop the 3rd string big and Jabari the odd man out. Like Twat, Jabari is an undersized tweener. Murray and Duop are quicker players

    Worth the money overall but i think i would have preferred to keep Jabari. He rebounded much better and his three was looking good late last season

    He had some monster games for the Remix. I think given a role he’d help us off the bench with his floor spacing

    Good for him. Seems like a good guy to have at the end of the bench.
