We needed 3 new rotation pieces to truly become contender, Love and Zeller combine for 1-1.5. Maybe they’ll be a part of something bigger after our offseason moves though.

We must think Yurt is giving nothing this season and we must feel confident where Lowry and Dipo are health wise

Zeller could have also been a Jeff Schwartz favor. Word is Zeller really impressed in his workout


I’m hoping he’s taken the time to develop a 3 ball.

Is it weird that the skill set I’m most encouraged that we’re adding to the rotation with these signings is screening?

Like we might actually be able to create advantage and space thru offensive sets now.

Yeah thats a big positive, both Love and Zeller are above average to great screeners. Keeping Bam fresh and closer to the Rim.

Considering most of our roster is reliant on screens to score it isn’t weird at all, let’s hope it helps us out. Offense has been horrible

Spo is stubborn. I doubt it, Atleast not initially.

I hope he’s first sub for Caleb though…

Martin/Love
Bam/Zeller

Gabe has certainly outplayed Lowry for the starting role. Sad tbh.
