Wonder if part of our agreement with GS has to do with why he is playing so much. Burn the tape from that game, horrendous.

What is our agreement with GS? We're playing Mannion, what are we getting in return? Are they giving us his rights? Regardless, he sucks.
I've got no idea, but if I had to guess how this came to be;
1. GS wasn't going to tender him at all and changed their mind after we somehow got involved
2. GS probably wanted him back for their summer league team, but at that point, maybe GS said it made more sense for him to stay with us if he gets X minutes a game so they can have tape to evaluate
3. We have some kind of conditional deal in place with GS to trade for him that is waiting for something else to happen or for us to agree to the compensation on our end...i.e. We will toss you a second for him if we like him enough, if not you can have him back. Which would be somewhat reasonable if they were on the fence about keeping him or not
It's odd, but at this point it seems pretty clear he won't be in the NBA for the next couple of seasons.
