    Hopefully he made enough money in his career that he can afford an airplane ticket.

    I really wanted to draft him, but he's done jack shit in the league. Still, he's a defensive big, so we certainly could use him if he's not completely hopeless.

    FUN FACT: OKC waived him so that they could sign Olivier Sarr, whom WE waived when he was perpetually injured.

    Usman is 6'7" trying to play NBA Center. He might look big and helpful in non NBA games, and had a good game against the Pistons (who stink) last year. But he's basically a budget lightweight not very talented Draymond Green. If Jabari Walker hits rock bottom like he did last season, Coach Billups might be thankful to have a bigger guy like Usman who isn't freezing up & falling down on defense, while accidentally passing it to referees in transition.

    Judging by how many minutes he played for us, it had sailed before he signed for us last time. He would be a welcome addition to the coaching staff, though.
    (Didn't Dame say he was one of his fave teammates?)

    I mean, I like Reaves better than Herro, quite honestly

    Same. Reeve is a good, fun player. Herro is OK, but Reaves can actually create for other a lot more than Herro, imho.

    Dame in a faker jersey would be the ultimate gut punch.

    At this point it would be so funny how pissed Heat fans would be if Dame goes somewhere else, so I don't even care if it's the Lakers.

    Davis has been washed for a while, that ship probably sailed in 2019.

    I don't believe that but you're welcome to your opinion...he was impressive in his stay with Cleveland. I'd have taken him over Moses Brown who we signed today.

    Wow that would be interesting. Might make sense for Disney to pocket the cash and sell ESPN, they have been doing a lot of layoffs with ESPN lately.

    Disney is worth $157 billion which might seem enormous to many of you.

    But Apple is worth $2,750 billion. (yes 2.75 trillion)
