I'm speechless

We're a team that has the tendency to blow a big lead or come back from a large deficit. I'm not celebrating just yet lol.

Ok I don't wanna get carried away but I really feel unless Orton proved he just CANNOT play, they shouldve picked up his option, why not ? what do you have to lose ? Maybe he develops ?

His salary wouldve been around the vet min anyway.

I just don't know why they gave up on him.

This is only Orton's 7th game - Of course he is going to look a little lost.

Yeah, it's my philosophy that even if a player has been terrible, you owe it to yourself to play out his rookie contract. If he sucks after 4 years, don't extend the qualifying offer.

The exception being a rare situation where a million or so dollars is the difference between signing a big time player or not.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.
