I don't want KD on the team. Tired of his antics

OKC waived Isaiah Roby, would love him to backup Zu

I just saw this. I hope the Clippers give a call at least.

I didn’t realize you could do this.

Read on Twitter

I’ve been reading a lot of tweets where agents are saying they can be patient right now until the Durant/Irving trades happen. Because some teams might not only have a lot of spots to fill but lots of minutes available as well.

I hope it doesn’t drag out too long.

I can't stand KD either, but getting him would royally screw over the Suns and maybe silence that cocky-ass fanbase for a while, so there's that. :lol:

Yeah we should get in line for Roby with our TPE, unless the FO has significant plans for something else with the TPE.

Roby would be really gray if we actually pull off the ‘consolidation trade’, he can fill in at both PF and C.

In other news, there’s been talk of Poetl but I don’t think we have what the Spurs are looking for.

We do have two different TPEs, one expires July 18th, and the other around the deadline. We can def use the July one right now and still have another to play with if needed

Spurs claimed Roby off waivers. Bummer.

Even though he hasn’t been cleared for 5 on 5 I like that Leonard is taking part/organizing workouts with the guys.

A Wall/Jackson competition for starter is interesting too.

I think Kawhi would have made it back if we'd have got deeper into the playoffs. This is HIS team. But the scrubs flunked out and didn't even make it through the two play-in games.

No fault of Reggie's, who kicked ass. And I'm gonna guess that Reggie and Wall are gonna become complete bros in an unselfish platoon. No competition at all except the friendly kind.

We have the best 48-minute PG combination in the NBA. And at $18M combined, the biggest bargain.

This is where Ballmer's money makes a difference.

Team probably assured him that once they get his Bird rights, they'd pay him far more than the minimum.

Warriors probably didn't do the same so the previous minimum salary ring chasing vets like OPJ or even Bjelica moved on.

May come back to bite them, though Warriors have been in repeater tax for a couple of years so lets see how often Ballmer will pay 5-6x or more to sign a vet above the minimum.

That’s vague. I’m assuming they’re looking for another Hart vs Giles battle for the backup spot. A spot that wouldn’t have to be guaranteed until January.

I like his motor. Energy guy that rebounds and offers some rim protection.

I also assume his camp leaked this to see if a better offer comes from it.

I like it, I'm sure I've mentioned him here before, but could've been on FB or Twitter.

Don't believe he's two way eligible so would have to be for the final spot, or an exhibit ten.

KL2 · Post #297 » by **KL2** » Sat Jul 9, 2022 6:16 pm

He has one more year of 2-way eligibility from what I can find.

Former NBA big man Chinanu Onuaku, the reigning Israeli Winner League MVP with Bnei Herzliya, is set to work out for the Raptors, Mavericks and Celtics this month, per Aris Barkas of Eurohoops.

The Rockets selected the 6’10” Onuaku out of Louisville with the No. 37 pick in 2016. He appeared in just six games across two seasons with Houston, averaging 3.0 PPG, 2.3 RPG and 0.7 APG across 12.3 MPG.

Several EuroLeague teams, including Maccabi Tel Aviv, are interested in Onuaku following his strong performance in the Israeli League playoffs. He averaged 15.7 PPG, 9.7 RPG, 2.7 assists and 1.7 steals during the Israeli Winner League’s regular season.
