Not unexpected, but still kinda sad. Hope he catches on somewhere and has some late development, ala Coffey.

It’s a shame his time here was injury prone. Hope he catches on somewhere because he has plenty of talent.

Damn, we all saw it coming though. I was hoping he'd settle for another two-way deal even though he wanted a real NBA contract. I could see the Lakers picking him up

He has the talent to be a rotation player on some team- I'm pulling for him, as long as he doesn't pull a Joe Ingles and play like an all star against the Clippers!

Boston made him redundant and is a year younger

The Boston comparison is a good one in the same way we look at Diabate and, say, Kab. Boston isn’t *that* much better than Scrubb right now—may not even be quite as in control. But he’s figuring things out and that lets you see his upside and ceiling are (much) higher. Same, I think, with Diabate … it’s not that what he’s doing is extraordinary. It’s that you can see there’s more talent to be developed and he’s got a reasonable chance of doing it—and that, again makes his ceiling much higher. Kab, I always thought, was kind of a finished product. Scrubb could get a little better, but not as much as Boston.

Europe. Maybe Turkey or Tel Aviv. Beijing maybe. Russia if he packs his bags properly.

Nah a team with Kawhi, PG, Wall, Norm, RoCo, Kennard, Mann, Reggie, Coffey, Boston makes him redundant. The wingless Lob City era would've embraced Scrubb with open arms and signed him to a team friendly two year deal

Sure, why not? Sterling wasn't gonna pay lux tax and with most of our sal cap going to only 3 players, even our playoff rotation was full of minimum-wagers.
