I'm pretty sure they can claim him in their exception but I just don't see the point. Dude has never been able to stay healthy, unfortunately.

Pick up him for sure - at worse he is a Boucher replacement. Coach Darko give him some love.

Worst player in the league, four years running.

He’s coming home

He's shown signs of potential, but OKC is good now so no room for him. I would take a flyer on him though. Let him feast with the 905

He looked like he took a small step last year but can't get on the floor this season. Crazy thing is he's actually younger than Scottie.

yeah I can't say I've honestly seen him play much, but man his stats look awful.

I would take a flyer on him, that’s the problem with OKC and accumulating so many picks. There is only a limited number of roster spots so eventually you’re either cutting assets for nothing or dealing at a position of weakness.

I think the Spurs and Wiz will put in a waiver claim on him, so I don't see him making it to Toronto, but I am pretty certain the raps will make a claim as well.

his stats in the NBA so far are a crime against humanity.

Old video but shows why people are so high on the POTENTIAL....

Always felt like he played well against the Raps though...

Somebody will make a waiver claim on him lower in the standings, and then his contract will not get picked up at season's end. He will be an excellent tanking asset as he is terrible.

Colangelo would already have him on a plane.

If we really want him, his next contract this summer will probably be league minimum (or very close to it). He's not good.

Can see him going back to Europe.
