    What's wrong with this move?
    He's a shooter, & not much else.

    Exactly, a shooter & not much else.

    I like this move a lot.

    The guy has size and can really shoot the 3.

    He is 31. He got Crabbe minutes twice in his career, but that was years ago.

    He shot .308 from 3pt last season, but I assume that's an anomaly. He played 49 games, so he must have been hurt (I didn't follow what happened with him last year).

    I mean.... it's just....eh. I would have been more interested if we had gotten him when he signed with Minnesota several years ago.

    Edit: It was the Thunder not the Wolves. My mistake.

    I thought of BGD when I saw this move; he will be so happy that we finally got a veteran! And Boris Diaw is still available!

    His shooting was trash last year but that was quite the anomaly given his career. Wonder what the $ amt was

    Career 40% shooter. And he did finish last season shooting over 40% after he moved to Chicago. I've always thought he'd be a fit for Stotts but didn't think we'd actually sign him just because he's a little older.

    Yes, it is a meh move. But at this point we're scraping the bottom of the barrel.

    It's a good move with the options available

    He also shot 92 FT% last year, so he can still shoot.

    .417 career 3FG%. Last season appears to have been a relatively small sample size anomaly.

    If not, no big deal. His contract is non-guaranteed. We can see if his 3-point shooting returns to form in Stotts' system. I suspect it will as multiple other role players (Aminu and Harkless) have had career years shooting the 3 in this system.

    I suspect it's a min contract, but again, non-guaranteed. Pretty low risk for a potential Crabbe replacement at >10% the cost.

    With Wilcox signed to a two way deal I wonder if that could also be an option for one of Goodwin/briscoe if they impress.

    Low risk and high return if he come back to form.

    Imagine if we replaced Crabbe with a guy making the minimum hope some of you talk about that as much as you did about Crabbes contract.

    Nevermind, I know what it'll be. Olshey lucked into Morrow. Lol
