Nice signing. Now, the depth is complete. At least the Pistons don't need him to start some games this time unless SJ truly does fail.

Easy to predict. Surprised it's only one year. Does that mean we can still use the BAE next year or it's burned regardless?

Anyways a respected veteran who hopefully doesn't see a lick of playing time this season.

Pretty sure it's gone and we don't get one next year.

If he sees the floor I'll be disappointed

I like Tolliver. Went to a game a few seasons ago sitting next to the locker room tunnel, and he would give kids high fives and hand out his wristbands after the game. Seems like a high character guy, and I think a lack of veteran leadership hurt us last season.

He shoots the 3 well, and helps fill out the bench. Not a bad player to throw in for spot minutes.

Looking at his numbers, I was surprised to find last season was pretty similar if not a little better than the first one he had with us. His production is pretty consistent for what he does. He certainly hasn't regressed at all.

It wouldn't be bi-annual if you used it annually.

I'll be shocked if Ellenson is ahead of him on the depth chart when all is said and done.

afroxnas · Post #11 » by **afroxnas** » Tue Jul 11, 2017 9:13 pm

He was a positive influence in the lockeroom. Best case scenario he doesn't steal any minutes from Ellenson and keeps the 2 knuckleheads on the team, coincendently also our two "cornerstones", focused on winning

It's kind of funny how Bower said they weren't close to anything for the two spots they wanted to fill at the press conference yesterday. A little over 24 hours later, welcome back Bullock and Tolly. Lol.

Well my reason to ask is that it's limited to maximum of two years and we only signed him for one. So if teams use the max two years they cannot use it again until that contract is off the books again. Soooo if you only sign one year than once that contract has ran its course....

But more than likely we cannot use it again - at which point I'd ask - Why not sign him to a two year contract? One with a buyout and a TO. Unless he didn't want to be used as a trade chip pawn again.

I'm happy with both signings. Hopefully they keep looking for legit starting PF. If they can get a legit starting PF I'll be quite happy with the offseason.

That's because they like to throw misinformation out there to hide their hand. It's kind of annoying, because you can't really believe anything they tell the media.

Great veteran presence, even if he doesn't play i think we need these types in the locker room. The Tolliver effect!!!

This signing tells me SVG doesn't think Ellenson is ready for any meaningful minutes which I agree with.

Welcome back Tolly, and the plan for his use should begin with "Break glass."

This dude better not play a single minute unless someone is hurt or it's garbage time.
