I’m all for humoring these wily vets with interviews and workouts, but the bottom line is that JJ’s time has come and gone.

Taking a roster spot from a younger player on a team that is in Detroit’s position makes no sense. NBA teams have enough coaches, trainers, etc.; they do not need another one wearing a warmup suit and occupying a seat on the end of the bench.

Hope for him that he can be signed with MIL, with Bud and Korver, it would be a good place for him; and they they still need one more 3pts shooter

lol nope.
Blake and Griffin are the only ones close to Proven.

They needed a 2 way player at the Wing to help Snell and Galloway develop. IMO
