He might be a steal of this draft. Really wanted him here.

2nd round, #54 selection Oturu

Two-year guaranteed deal

Wasn't Oturu drafted in the Wolves second round slot 33 overall?


Looks like you are right, my mistake. #33

i suppose that's the difference between a guaranteed two year and a 1+3 unguaranteed hinkie forget my not lapel pin

I think that's exactly right.

Which part? They played very similarly if you look at per36 or per100, since one was given every opportunity to play up with 23 minutes avg in every game and over 30 starts. The other was a non practicing two way contract mostly playing off bench for 16 mins in 30 games.

Probably didn't agree to buyout because he knew it was is last paycheck.

Heard some more details about our signings on a podcast.

Apparently, Juancho felt he could get 10 million a year, the wolves told him that if he could find that deal, they would think about matching. He had no takers at that price.

When it comes to Beasley, they said the front office was concerned that Thibs and the Knicks were going to do some crazy stuff and put them in a bad spot financially. They acted quickly to prevent that from happening. I don't know why they felt that way, I don't know what kind of deal Thibs could have put together that would be that crazy but that's what they were saying. I don't even know if Thibs is the kind of person to try that or how much pull he has but who knows. Sounds odd to me.

The Knicks offering more than 60M / 4 years would actually be such a Knicks thing to do.

Knicks could have made it a declining salary structure which would make our flexibility to sign free agents or make trades much more difficult

The NKY and Thibs story looking to pay $$ for Beasley is BS ... they were looking for a bargain bin deal - not the higher $$ as reported. Gotta be naive to suck into that one

Rockets continue to ship players out. You know Rosas loves him some PJ Tucker.

Depending on two things

- How Wall returns
- The direction of the Rockets

If stays like this i think they got better and that's bad news for us. One spot less...

I hate them. They've got advertisements for Nike and Fitbit on them. Yuck.
