Shooters gots to shoot.

Not sure how this helps our point of attack defense or back up PG needs though.

Feels like signing a poor mans TRo.

Bogues
Boykins
Thomas
Kemba
Ish

6th man Augustin, Adams

I'm starting Ish at center since he loves the block shots.

It's a miracle we never had Spud Webb or Nate Robinson on a roster at any point.

Success! We found a player actually capable of making our defense worse.

not that offense is our issue but I'm always glad to see a guy like Isaiah Thomas get a shot.

This move doesn't make much sense. Seems like we are just flailing at the moment. Just throwing stuff at the wall and see what sticks.

I don't know what our problem is. Well, aside from rebounding and defense, which signing Thomas ain't gonna help with...

Was our performance early in the season just a fluke? Is Hayward that pivotal to our entire team? I thought it was maybe Cody (with his defense and intangibles) after we played so well in that Toronto game, but then we quickly resumed sucking after that...

This team is just like the last Kemba team we had where we just don't have a better team than the 9 other east teams ahead of us and miss the playoffs, yet the coach and FO thinks we can make some noise. We are just going to get ass blasted in the playin if we are lucky to hold on to that spot

I like it. Worth a try at the very least.

Annual has-been signing. This team needs another chucker like it needs a hole in its head. Hate it. Hope this one only lasts 10 merciful days.

His job is to bring the ball up the floor when it would be irresponsible to have LaMelo or Terry on the floor, when we're getting blown out or blowing someone else out.

Though I wouldn't be surprised if Borrego played him 20 minutes next game either

He is as good a fit for us at PG as Harrell is at C. Nice work Mitch! You've acquired two guys that do absolutely NOTHING to address our team's biggest issues at either position!

Although I suppose having a backup PG is better than not right?

He's still a good scorer I think. But our defense will be the worst in history if he gets major minutes.

probably happening because in the Greensboro Swarm's last game they played Grand Rapids Gold for whom Isaiah Thomas a 33 year old playing in the G League scored 46 pts on 25 shots including 17 3 pt attempts
