That seems too complicated. Not to mention another team could sign him. Just convert him and be done with it.
Teams can’t pouch a 2-way player just because they exhausted their nba games, can they? Danuel House would have gotten pouched then. isn’t @Joe Joe literally describing what we did with House?
Didn't say it wasn't complicated, only that there is a scenario where it was possible even if unlikely. Need a buyout candidate willing to wait. JD can't be taken while on a 2-way even if NBA game availability is gone. Don't remember House situation.
I’m just sure neither will play anymore and I’d rather ditch our 6th wing defender than the guy with championship experience. Tate only even got minutes because we were playing forwards as guards, if you sign a guard then he'll be the 15th man on this team.
And OKC picked up Isaiah Joe when he got waived. Occasionally a good young player gets waived. Hell, Cam Thomas is a pretty awesome scorer off the bench (though I'm not sure he'd ever accept that role).
But we have the worst scouting group in the league....they chose Reed over Castle. Not betting on them finding that diamond in the rough.
There's a guy who 8 months ago finished with these season averages for Greg Popovic's Spurs: 82 games 28 minutes per game 8.8 points, 37.7% from 3, 47% from midrange 7.4 assists to 1.6 TO's Passable defense Elite floor general Elite mentor for guards But you guys want to believe that 4 months later he aged 70 years because he started a season slow. In reality he's probably only slightly worse than before with a bigger chip on his shoulder after what happened with Frank/Lue. We just need 15-20 minutes from him. It's the right move for us and no one can offer him a better role than that.
I still wonder if the Bulls buyout Sexton or Simons. Right now Tre Jones is injured, but he is having a career year for them, once he comes back there won’t be enough minutes for the expiring, UFA, 27 year old guards who are not both going to be a part of their future.
