You don't think the full mle gets you a rotational player? I think the mini mle should get you an 8th or 9th guy
Maybe it does, but I wouldn't put money on it. You got Cole Aldrich making 7m + per, so I definitely don't think it's a guarantee. We'd have to hope to find a guy like Dedmon. Btw the funny thing about Dedmon is a few of us were advocating going after him last offseason.
We'd basically need to decline all of Ezeli, Connaghton and Quarteman AND get someone who is at least $17.1 million under the cap to give us a future 2nd round pick for Turner, or someone who is at least $21.3 million under the cap (due to the 15% trade kicker) to give us a future 2nd for Crabbe. And, we'd need to do it in the next 4 days, and it makes no sense since both of those players are better than anyone we'd get for the MLE. BNM
I was kind of encouraged by it. Confirmed that he came here in bad condition, somehow body out of balance. By fixing that stuff, he should be less injury prone. Of course this brings up the question as to whether they should have got his body straightened around before even putting him out there in games.
I LOVE Swanigan's demeanor... the way he talks. Reminds me a lot of Dame I don't know he just gives me the feel he will be a good player
So Collins said he asked for #12 since 32 was retired but it wasn't available so settled for 33. My question, why the fuck wasn't 12 available
Some numbers are retired and can't be used again based on the greatness of the player who wore that number. Some numbers are ruined and can't be used again based on the lmaness of the player who wore that number. barfo
Rick Adelman in a ring of honor type thing (not jersey retirement) hopefully. Better not be because of LMA.
Sorry that number is not available at this time due to the intense and overwhelming hatred for the last player to wear it. Just looking out for the rookie... BNM
Classic eye roll. At least he avoided the Captain Picard face palm. The kid was 360 pounds in 8th grade and homeless and he has to sit there and listen a fool reporter ask Zach Collins about his struggle to overcome the challenges of being white and attending private schools. BNM
I can see why Olshey wanted these two guys. Both give off this "I like to battle" style 'tude but in different ways. Seeing how Collins played for Gonzaga that goofy nerd thing is all a front. He is going to battle for his minutes. And Swanigan just exudes confidence. Make July 7th come now, Doc Brown!
Going by so many of the comments I've seen on Twitter and on here, many people think he can't play because he is white or refer to him as Meyers 2.0 ....which they wouldn't do if he wasn't white. So apparently there is at least some stigma. I heard a funny story the other day about Larry Bird who was torching some team. After burying another shot on a helpless defender, he reportedly turned the the opposing coach and yelled at him something to the effect of, "How dare you have this white guy guard me." Even Larry though most white guys couldn't play.
