I think regardless of expectations, Bamba was a great locker room guy and everybody seemed to enjoy being around him and he never really caused problems (besides fighting Austin on the way out
) Had games where he looked exactly what we needed with shooting and defense but those were way too few and far between. I know people had high hopes which is what made people more angry with him, but after looking back in the last 10 drafts.. you realize how many players actually materialize into who you think they should be. I think in a limited role he can be quite useful in LA. Ross was a real solid dude as well and has a great podcast that people should check out. He was always talking great stuff about Paolo/Franz and hyping Isaac's return too. Brought some great memories after the initial disaster of an Ibaka trade and always felt like a guy that all the young guys could easily talk to and get along with. The torch can still get lit at times even if it's not as often as we'd liked. When he was lit though.. maybe one of the most fun things to watch in recent times. Hope he finds a nice landing spot!
Ciao!
