It's summer league though. Tons of scrubs look great in summer league.

SMH you guys counting on Miller's exception...he hasn't even gotten surgery much less been examined by a league doctor to confirm he's out for the season!
If that does happen it will be close to the beginning of the season and most of these guys will be gone...
It's either vet minimum or nothing.

Say no to Darko.

I'd like to personally thank the Detroit Pistons for making the Big 3 possible. They could've taken Wade but they chose a bum instead :D

We've actually had reported interest in Jordan Hill, right?

I think we can get him with Mike's exception. He would be a nice fit down here!

Actually, only the teams under the cap passed on him. Amnesty waiver is different as it allows teams to bid. With normal waivers you assume the whole contract, with amnesty teams under the cap can bid anywhere from the players minimum amount (depends on guaranteed years & unguarranteed portions) up to the whole contract.

30 teams didn't pass on Darko.

Kind of weird that we are not pursuing Darko.

Maybe the front office does not think he will be motivated here. Alonzo does not take **** from slackers. If Darko is out of shape and unmotivated, Zo will be in his ear during practice and absolutely destroy him.

I hope not pursuing Darko means we see something in J-Ham. I'd like to see us come away with another center, not just Varnado. PEACE.

Hamilton sucks, Varnado sucks, Pittman sucks...an NBA champion should never rely on the hopes of 2nd round picks becoming their main Center...

That is a superb pickup by the NETS

2 years vet min for a true backup PG

Props

Varnado will be nothing more than a cheerleader

To be fair a second round pic became out starting pg. That said Darko is hands down better than anyone we have on the roster but he needs motivation and money.

Stupid if we pass on going after Darko. Only other viable option at C is Turiaf.

And Greg Oden, and like many people have pointed out we do not need a center on this team at all.
