I can’t imagine a roster spot is retained for him, but welcome to the hornets!

Too bad they went through the effort of the press release before cutting him. Watched him a bit here in Orlando - an afterthought of a player.

Can’t imagine he’ll be on the roster by this time next week.
Surely he was just included to make up the numbers.

Unless both twins are gone.
Did you get to see Andrew Gaze crying after the win? It was pretty special

Re: Welcome to Charlotte: Wes Iwundu (acquired in Devonte' Graham S&T)
Apparently he has a guaranteed deal? Why on earth would we take guaranteed money for a guy like this when we already are short on roster spots.
Really don't understand what we're doing here.

I don't get it.
He isn't any better than Caleb or Scottie are.
In fact, he's probably worse.

Re: Welcome to Charlotte: Wes Iwundu (acquired in Devonte' Graham S&T)
My guess is he was always included and just wasn't reported until it was done. Consensus opinion seemed to be that even a protected first for the privilege to pay Graham was steep, but including Iwundu also allowed them to create the Adams TPE, so maybe it's more palatable.
And/or: maybe we just like him better than some of our unguaranteed guys.

The other guy we acquired, though I kinda doubt we ever see him.

Harvey was a 43% 3pt shooter in college.
He may be our 3rd PG.

I'm interested in anyone that shoots 43% from deep
