Seems very unlikely that the Lakers don’t waive Mo Bamba when he has $10m non guaranteed salary for next season.

Now maybe Bamba would take a vet min and come back on that but seems Ham doesn’t rate him.

Thomas Bryant clearly has not had a very good time at the Nuggets. DNP even when Jokic has been out.

Would you take him back on another vet min this summer? He was good on offence for us but obviously pretty terrible on defence. We clearly need a back up center this off season so would you take Bryant?

It they’d both accept Vet Mins would you prefer Bamba or Bryant? If they’d both take vet mins tbh i’d probably bring both in.

I'd prefer Bamba. He got hurt at the wrong time.

Thomas Bryant didn't have much playing time when AD was healthy. That's the main reason he asked out.

Ham just doesn't like to play twin tower. He refused to put Bamba or Gabriel on the court last night prove it. Gabriel is not a tower though.

Bamba give you 3 point shooting, rebounding and rim protection. He can definitely contribute some 10-20 minutes per night

I’ll gladly take him back for the minimum next year if Rob could trade him for 3 2nd rounders again by the 2024 deadline.

If it’s a guaranteed S&T landing us someone else, yes. Otherwise it’s a pass for me.

He has no lateral quickness left, becomes a cone on defense, can’t build winning team defense around that.

For the vet min sure and try to pawn him off again for some SRPs

The regular season we need big man depth so that AD dosent get worn down. Bamba would be ideal but 10.3mil is alot to swallow, if he comes back for the vet min that'd be a huge acquisition, and use the TMLE for some swingman depth since Jeannie sure as **** wont pay Beasley 17mil to suck.

He himself wanted out. So no.

I wouldn't. With this roster we don't need a C w/ his skillset: I mean we don't need someone whose strength is to score and is weakness is that he is one of the worst defenders of his position.

I'd much rather target someone who is maybe a worse player overall, but has a more complete skillset and who can fit in to lineups w/ different styles. Of course for vet min, there is no complete player out there, but there are some, whose weaknesses can maybe be exploited less than Bryant's. Someone like Dwight Powell or Drew Eubanks.

(Or if for some reason he is available at this price - which I don't think will happen: Mason Plumlee)
