    Sir, that was rhetorical. Not lyrical. No empirical response requisite.

    Mo Bamba doesn't move right. A huge vertical and 8 foot arms mean nothing if you cannot move with coordination

    I'd definitely take the flyer on him if we miss out on Lopez, we need a center who can shoot desperately if we're hosting Amen, Brooks, Jabari, etc

    Bamba is 100% not the proven vet model we're searching for, but after Lopez, the pickins get slim, really slim.

    You can put Bamba behind Sengun, give him a shot under Ime, with a proven vet PG for virtually the first time in his career, and you can sign a good vet PF like Lyles or Jam Green in case he doesn't work out, and in that case, we break the glass, run Garuba and Smith at backup 5, and look for an upgrade at the trade deadline.

    Archetype though?

    In all seriousness, he would be ok for me as a backup to Sengun.

    Nah, too injury prone for me. I'd put J Landale and T Bryant ahead of him for FA Cs.

    I want vindication for my anti-Mo Bamba stance and accountability for all the pro-Mo Bamba misguidedness ;)

    This guy is garbage and it’s amazing how many Clutchfans continued to suggest him as an option after his failure with the Lake-show. Lol. Glad he’s off the market.

    It’s Bol Bol or broke for our Rockets. Still wouldn’t mind Wood back on a cheap deal as a talented backup.

    For the league minimum, he would have made a nice 3rd string big.
