Just got an insurance big in okaro white but unless there is a loophole having played a couple games this season for Miami makes him ineligible for the playoffs

So maybe this helps maybe not but if they are cut loose to just play shedding regimented plays and can win than this will work out ok.
I doubt Lue has any significant health problem given the timing of this news. If he does ,wish him well.

If TT takes zizics minutes it’ll be a complete joke

so maybe Okaro White will play tonight ? curious to see how many more games we have to lose with Love and Zizic on the bench before Thompson gets the proper benching.

Treveon Graham former VCU standout apparently met with Altman per 92.3 the fan and is likely picked up by the Cavs in the coming days. Maybe they are expecting Hoods offer sheet will be too much to match idk.

Why would we even consider bringing hood back?

he's a young talented player that was pretty good this year, until he got here

he didn't fit with LeBron-ball, but LeBron-ball is gone

plus if we immediately dump it makes the Kyrie deal even worse

I think there are plenty of reasons to bring him back first being he can get buckets esp with plays run for him.
I agree the fit was poor playing off Lebron and it shunted his usage, but he should do better in the up tempo pace we will be employing going forward as well for that matter so will Clarkson.

He’s not that young really and he was also pretty brutal in Utah this year before coming here. He just connote shots

Hood can be a solid rotation player on this roster if he gets better defensively and unless we can pick up somebody like khyri Thomas who Detroit has yet to guarantee, or a different swish replacement Hood will probably start at the 2.

so that just means we won't be making any trades that req. Perk for salary matching, and that we are signing another player from sl roster...probably Scoochie or Mathias, outside chance Lee/ Artis /other team sl roster player.

If lue still finds a way to u deray guys like Cedi and nance and overplay j r and tt type guys I’ll go insane. Last year was the least enjoyable season for a long time.

I'm assuming that Cedi and Hood, assuming he's signed, start. I'd start Nance as well but TT kind of sucks off the bench. He's much more effective playing next to Love than when he's the only big out there.

Last season was screwed the moment Kyrie demanded a trade. IT made a bad situation even worse and Wade was undercutting team chemistry in the locker room. I'm still kind of amazed we got back to the Finals given everything that happened. But yeah, it wasn't fun.
