    Right. Very surprising.

    We have one open two-way spot. He'd be perfect.

    I can't understand us waiving Briscoe. Why does Neil always fuck something up? Morrow also I would have tried to keep and Goodwin I can see not being that impressive but Briscoe I think earned at least a roster spot and IMO also minutes

    They didn't broadcast the game in an Israeli channel but I'm currently watching the Warriors-Kings game on TV. I think they have a contract of something like NBA TV when they air one or two games every night from across the league

    Since we have Napier I don't see any reason to keep Briscoe.

    It seems like a center has to have a viable 3 point shot to make it in this league and stay playable now. Look at Boogie, Davis, Embiid, KAT, Ionic, and even Bropez and M Gasol.

    Briscoe is a different player than Napier. Napier is more of a scorer and Briscoe more of a distributor. And it's not like Napier got more than garbage minutes last year, are we hanging on to him to not give him minutes? We need a reliable option/s behind Dame and CJ. Was a weakness of us last year and is going to be again this season because Briscoe was very much the solution.
    But Neil always kicks the bucket. You can't build a contender with less than perfect decision making. Not having Briscoe could make just a minor difference but a playoff series is many times decided on minor differences. On playing CJ, Turner instead of Briscoe, CJ and Turner for example.
    It just disappoints me not just because I'm a perfectionist but because these mistakes are important, they do effect our chances

    Stotts said they did this due to luxury tax and flexibility. What I what have to say about that is Olshey you put us in that situation.

    They're probably waiting for the other teams to decide whom they waive to maybe bring another player. I'd be surprised if we can bring someone whose a better fit, talent, than Briscoe

    I wouldn't be surprised at all. I think there is plenty of talent out there that won't make a roster. It's not like Neil signed better players to camp then all the other teams. Players will get cut that can play now. While Briscoe is more of a developmental player at this time.

    Or we could just trade for Courtney Lee and try to actually upgrade the team, wild idea I know.

    I'm hoping this is due to flexibility needed for a trade to uncrowd our front court & add a nice wing player. :smiley-fingersx:
