He can play with Thansis in garbage time.

Justin James is one of my sleepers. Love that part of the addition. Luke Walton is brutal at player development, James will develop here.he was outstanding in a short G league stint. Long armed, athletic, with offensive skill.

We also got Justin James in this deal. Anybody seen him play?

Played 4 years for Wyoming.
Got drafted at #40 in last year's draft.
6'7'' height
7'1'' wingspan

According to scouting reports, he can defend multiple positions. Shot 41.9% from 3 on 3.2 attempts per game during his sophomore season in college. Didn't maintain his shooting form the following 3 seasons, including his NBA rookie season.

He might prove to be a useful 3+D wing.

It's home for him, both literally and in the spiritual NBA sense.

Hometown team? Check.
Team where there's no pressure to reach your full potential? Check.
Irrelevant? Check.
Forgettable? Check.

Sounds like a match made in Irij. :wink:

Bottom line - If he can shoot, he can play. If he can't, he can't. And he did it poorly in his last 2 seasons at Wyoming.

Have wanted this guy forever. Turned on the computer after a busy day away and saw everything and it's been a journey catching up. Loved Donte but sadly he was the only asset left.

I sure think you could win one now.

There's a part of me that wonders if Donte could have been Bogdan next year with another full season of growth.

Look, Donte did a lot of good things, but I'm glad I don't have to hear people call him Manu any more. Bogdan seems like a great fit on this team, as does Jrue although I do agree they gave up a bit much for him. Not sure what other choice there was, though.

Two years ago I'd easily swap Bogdan for Bojan, but right now I'll reluctantly take the guy who's 28 and healthy instead of 31 and injured.

How does James compare to a guy like Rayjon Tucker?

As a fan of a smallerish market team I'm so happy for you guys. Is Giannis officially going to sign yet. Congrats. Great moves and a title could definitely follow them.

I feel we definitely came out on top on this one.

Bogdon for donte seems what it boils down to basically.

Love donte he was my second favorite player on the team and I wish him well.

He did struggle a lot in the bubble. I think he will turn into a really solid player.

I think we went win now and get the ship, vs the continued development of DDV.

we just need to find a few of those free white guys that shoot from mid court that miami keeps finding in their cereal box

There's a pretty realistic chance that Bogdan looks exceptionally better as a Buck than as he did as a King. I liked him as a King but that's a bad system they have over there, I think they've been misusing him. Bud's staff and the Bucks talent are going to make him look really good

Watch some Fenerbahce games. Tidiest team in the world, coach micro-managing everything, and playing against weaker competition of course. He looked pretty much the same player.
