He will, like Otto Porter, look like different person once he changes team. It's hard to not understand his pov. He feels like he is wasting his life.


I agree. But some fans here also thought he was worth 1st rounder for some reason. Even when he was playing well he's still worth 2nd rounders if that's all that Fournier got.

He has the ability to be pure bench scorer like Clarkson or Hield or something but yeah, when he doesn't care.. he looks really bad. Obviously he can become like he was a few years ago just by joining a good team but they also might be scared.


Don't forget trade exception and dream scenarios people thought they will get for it :lol:

It's not the Magic's M.O. to waive Ross. I think Ross will have to accept less money in a buyout or they'll hold him at least until the trade deadline.

If they vaiwe him, he will make more money. He has guaranteed money from Magic + whatever he gets from next team. So they are actually helping him big time.
Opposite of having him rotting , failing to trade him for 3rd time and expiring.

We saw last couple of years that expiring money has no value any more during mid season trade deadline. Knicks created $18M of cap space 2 weeks ago. We couldn't do anything with $17M of blank space from trade exception.

DNPCD = Rockets game
DNPCD = Kings game

Then the management wanted to "look at other players"

Now ....

Tommy Kuhse
Thunder game: 12 points on 6/10 shooting
The Knicks game: 25 points on 11/15 shooting


I think Kuhse is earning a spot on the pre-season roster. He is taking his opportunity and running with it, literally!

I am really happy for him.

Mr. #38 Kennedy Chandler got first rounder money. The pay for 2nd rounders is definitely opening up!
