I'm a bit excited to see him here, Walton has had a good success rate with tweeners.

Does this mean Wear isn't going to get a second 10 day contract?

Kind of a good fit for this team.. should be able to do some of the things Jr. did for us but with a 3pt shot. Should be able to switch up which is some thing Luke likes to do... He’s an LA kind and no risk so let’s just see.

Is this the former Minnesota player? He was a bust last time I checked, let's see if he can help this team somehow

Just a temporary fill in while Ingram is out. I doubt he'll parlay the 10 day into something significant.

I am a big fan of his game and I keep wondering why he has not been able to get a role somewhere. He will fit our ran and gun perfectly he hustles like Larry but he can also shot the 3.

I believe he will be a perfect fit for this team and will not be surprised if he turns this into a permanent deal. This tells me this FO are really out there to look for player that fits Luke's style.

Bust status didn't help him. Hes been a 'tweener forward without a 3 pt shot until he got to Cleveland. It was only like 50 attempts, but he still did 40%.

Joining the lakers probably won't stop him from being a journeyman. But he should be able to stick in the NBA as a 2nd bench forward. Everyone needs cheap young talent. Still surprises me hes only 26.

by what would jack bauer do?
It feels like we have a million players on our roster cause of the 15 +2 two way contracts. I guess we only replaced Bogut with a two contract in payton. So ware fills brewer's spot and Williams fills bogut's.

Sure. Another PF.

We’re currently playing Tyler Ennis or Alex Caruso at the backup 2 spot, but sure, let’s sign another PF.

I feel like they should just have a big hammer lying around with "Trade Randle" that they just periodically hit him on the head with, just so he gets the point... Williams is like a Dollar General Randle.
