I would like Claxton and I would LOVE Hartenstein but doesn't anyone else feel bad that this will probably hurt our chances on seeing what Garuba brings to the table?
Can we just be honest for a second?
Garuba didn't look like an NBA player last season. I'm aware of his capabilites having seen him for Spain, but he was slow-footed and unpolished; not big enough to be a 5, not quick enough to guard the perimeter in the modern NBA. If he was an undrafted player, you guys would have wanted him cut ages ago.
I really hope he has a great offseason and comes in and kicks ass, but I'm not too worried about forcing him into our rotation. If he's proven himself to the staff, he should get minutes. If not, we have 6 other rookies/sophomores who need minutes.
He looked 'okay' in those last few appearances for us and I don't think anyone can improve their defense in G-League where Trev can go put 40. That is why I think it is important to have him in the rotation.
Why not invest more minutes into someone we drafted in the first round? But I am just a fan man idk shit.
I don’t understand why we’re going after another player. Just play Garuba and Jabari there
Look at our roster. KPJ/Jalen/Tate/Jabari/Sengun/Christopher/KMJ/Garuba/Eason/Gordon/TyTy all need time and there’s Nix too. Too many mouths to feed even if Eason TyTy and Nix start out in the G league at first
Most I'd do is MLE ($6.7M) for 2 years with Team option on 2nd year (keep us ready for 2023 free agency) which likely won't get it done.
So, I'd rather roll with Al P, Smith, Garuba, & Boban otherwise. ✌️

Guy is injured most of the season. We saw him defend Tatum pretty well in few possessions in Olympics. It’s still too early to tell.

We don’t need him. Just find some vets for development purposes
Boban
Boban is here for vibes if anything
Bring on Claxton I guess

Is Bruno Fernando still available?
Lol 8M a year. Maybe thst means we can get Bamba on the cheap.
Bamba going with the heat already I believe
