Skal LaBisserie

You will love Skal. He's injured currently, but should be back soon. You're front court just got big with Capella, Nene, and now Skal to go along with Collins. Nice!!! Enjoy Skal, I really wish the Blazers had kept him.

I had him among my FAs to look for before all the madness with the centers coming in. He'll probably backup John at the 4. What did the Hawks give up.

That’s what I’m waiting to hear. Gotta be those second rounders.

I think you guys will only give something fake up. Think this was a pure salary dump.

Nene was waived. But we did get Dedmon.

Seems like a little overkill with all the big bodies. Skal is an expiring contract so maybe he doesn't fit into the future plans.

It's a no risk move. Top 55 protected second for Skal and $2 mil. Gives us a chance to get a look at a former first round pick who's on the final year of his deal. Maybe he ends up being serviceable.

:D
Still excited about Skal. I believe he is a keeper. Hoping to see him if and when the NBA resumes, whether it's this season or next.

Fwiw, in my calculus, gray, Skal hopefully gets signed to a very reasonable 3 year deal, and will fit in as our 5th or 6th big for 2020-21, then ready to move up to the primary PF or C back-up thereafter.
