DA FUQQ

The whole rebuild was counting on DA THON, he was the maker of fortunes here.

I guess the Giannis dream died with Jrue Holiday trade.

Or Weaver has a lick of common sense.

Yeah his skill and abilities never caught up with his desire. Good guy, but not a very useful NBA player.

I fully believe some team will sign him to a minimum deal, glad it won’t be us

We didn’t want Thon but we overpaid for an older and equally useless 30 year reserve center. If these type of FA signings are Weavers approach to FA. I’m thinking that he is turning into SGV 2.0.

I’m sure that he is hiding out at LCA waiting for his chance to take over for Weaver.

Agreed, I’d rather have Maker at the QO than what we paid to get Plumlee.
