I am actually fine with this at this amount. He is a very tradable asset.

Good deal, very cheap

How is it very cheap? What other team was likely to offer him more than that?

If we weren't getting Hartenstein (who I like), totally fine with Bamba being back on this deal.

I obviously hate Bamba, but it's a short and cheap deal that we could try to flip at the deadline if needed. So not bad.

People that do NBA salary projections for a living had Bamba at around 14 mil per year, 10.5 for a solid backup is relatively cheap.

He is literally 8% of the cap. That is peanuts.

Banchero will be starting, and we say this every year and then have a huge influx of injuries while we're playing guys who should be in the G-League.

I'm alright with this. I might be a sucker, but I wanted one more year with Bamba.

I mean, someone has to play backup big minutes….

it's ok,not great,just ok.

18-20 minutes as back-up C,hoping he'll improve a bit on defense.

most important: he(hopefully)can give us space for ball-handlers to operate.

If he's cool with coming off of the bench, I'm cool with it

As much as we hate him on the perimeter, he was one of the better centers shooting % wise and we will need that spacing.
