    I’m talking guys we had in camp that we let go of that turned into a player.

    Luguentz ‘isn’t that a fruit?’ Dort and Elliott Perry come to mind for me. Who else has slipped through the cracks?

    Moses Brown has been a monster in the G League.

    Great move, Neil! :craphead:

    Seth Curry, Will Barton, Pat Connaughton
    The bigger list would be players we brought in who fizzled out elsewhere
    Alan Crabbe, Mo Williams, Louis Montero, Nolan Smith, Caleb Swanigan, Mario, Ed Davis, Meyers, Chief, Mo Harkless, Tolliver, TRob

    Tolliver sucked.

    I had high hopes for T-Rob. When he was in college I thought his man among boys mentality would translate to the league. He literally was awful in the NBA though.

    Bad list. Almost all those guys either fizzled out here before they fizzled out there, or were acquired here because their fizzled careers were near an end. A third category is Davis and Aminu, who have been injured and are not fizzled.

    Laguentz Dort looked like a star against us the other day. When did they try out for us? Summer League?

    Perry weighed 150!

    Dort is the second coming of Ron Artest.

    All-defense potential for the next decade.

    Big Ed has toured the league since leaving and rarely played...first stop was the Jazz...he' worn a lot of uniforms....Mo Harkless had been towel waiving for the Clippers, Knicks and Heat....is Tim Frazier in the league? Shabazz Napier? I'd personally love to have Big Ed back on our bench...he's bored

    There was no reason not to bring him back.

    Blazers had Rudy Gobert in for two workouts, but decided he wasn't worth a 2nd round pick

    we’ll never know how the Blazers valued him in the second round because Gobert went in the first.
