You could bring him in on a 10 day, just to see what else the market has until the end of the month.

There's another aggregation at that kingsjamesgospel link that says Hunter may have gone to the Pelicans but the Hawks decide not to trade for Ingram, also the Raptors had interest in Hunter too - presumably if they hadn't traded for Ingram.

Would be down for a little reunion. To me, he's JT Thor-ish so he's not getting any meaningful playing time, but could soak up some minutes here and there

That's a good point, i was lurking on Reddit and that's what someone said may end happening, Thor getting converted to a standard deal.

Can't beleive how empty the open market options are.

Thor has been bad in the G League and awful with the NBA squad. I can’t imagine him getting the bump up.

Then maybe we settle for a reunion with Diakite, at least in the short-term. Could probably get him for about $100,000 on a ten day.

I'm not against converting him to a standard deal, would be an underwhelming move to be sure.

I'd still like to sign one 10 day guy, let the buyout market fully develop and then if there is still nothing, can go the Travers route for one of the final 2 spots.

I need to see more of Travers in meaningful games before I consider him. So far outside of one good garbage time he hasn't shown up in his NBA minutes.

Now's an ideal time to bring up a guy from the Charge (Bernard, Hunt, Tomlin, etc.) and see if they can keep their head above in the NBA, if we don't have a buyout target. (I'm surprised there haven't been any buyouts yet.)

Also, some names that have been in the NBA but aren't right now: Robert Covington, Keita Bates-Diop, Reggie Bullock, Danilo Gallinari, Nassir Little. Not anyone that might be big contributors but possibly reasonable insurance pieces on the deep bench. Covington, Bates-Diop, and Little are playing in some FIBA games for USA Basketball, so we might get to see them in some semblance of shape soon.

RoCo is my number 1 target, followed closely by Bullock.

I didn't expect Danny Green or Marcus Morris, so maybe Koby has something lined up.

I'd feel better having that break glass option on the bench, come playoff time.

If RoCo is playing meaningful minutes our season is probably already technically over but with Rondo in 2022, Green in 2023, and Morris in 2024. These vets always end up having to play in the post season, so better to have them than not, imo.

The All-Star game should have been a celebration of our 3 all-stars and our team's accomplishments as well as the great seasons other teams and players are having. Why do the NBA, TnT, and ESPN insist on messing something up which should be so simple?

Raptors not letting Boucher go.

I'd still be interested in kicking the tires on Bamba

The all star game should go the way of the pro bowl game. Short of that, they need to go back to just playing East v. West and dial the hype down to 1 on the dial. The current hype to quality ratio is in Frye Festival territory.

Just remove the actual game and do non-contact activities. Three point knockout, HORSE, around the world lol

I have never really minded the game, but it seems that no one really cares for it and there isn't a way to get the players to go full out since there could be injuries. I actually thought the first and second games weren't that bad. Some defense was played haha

I think the problem is everything else surrounding the event (and maybe the expectations of the event)

Thanks to the 4 team lineup, they actually got the USA .vs. World matchup the talking heads had been clamoring for, and rather than hype it up, or try to play it for drama ... they acted like it hadn't even happened while they focused on everything but the game.

This article believes the Cavs will end up signing a Charge player to a 10 day deal prior to Thursday's deadline to get back to 14 players.

Rooting for Tomlin to get a 10day contract.

All-Star game sucks. Keep the recognition and all-star designation, but kill the game. Would rather watch the G League all-star game.

You could also interest me in a legacy game played by teams of players retired for at least two years.

With his size and shooting ability, it would make sense.

I'd probably prefer to cut Thor and move Tomlin to a two-way if we wanted him to get some NBA minutes. He doesn't have the experience to make a positive difference in the playoffs.

Do we know where Dennis Smith Jr is going yet? Getting another ballhandler/defensive stopper might make sense with LeVert gone. One more guy to throw at Brunson/Lillard/Shai, and leaves roster spot 15 open for a PF or C.

Front page says the Cavs signed Tomlin to a 10-day.

Someone at RCF had the inside track on this, they posted about it weeks ago.

Kudos to Tomlin, put an extra $100k in his pocket for 10 days of hanging out with the parent club.

This will get us to March 1st once his deal expires and then we'll have until March 15th to get back to 14 players. That is more than enough time to let the buyout market develop and evaluate how to fill the final 2 spots on the playoff roster.
