JD Davison, can be Waived.
Two-Ways aren't Guaranteed, at this point.

Sure. But he's only 20, has some talent and upside. And we have 3 2-way spots to fill. I doubt we find 3 guys who are better to put in that spot than him.

I wouldn't take it off the table. But I wouldn't do so just to do so, as you mention, very young.

One player I hope the Celtics to target for the other two-way is Pete Nance, Larry Nance's other son. He is on the Cavs Summer League team and he has looked decent so far in the games I watched.

IMHO, I feel Davison is a year away from being only a possible NBA point guard. For those claiming that Pritchard could be traded because Davison could take his place on the roster (which included me) need to think again. Pritchard is head and shoulders better than Davison.

Noted. I'm a believer in bloodlines. Aaron Wiggins was a guy I had interest in despite getting little draft hype. Will check Nance the younger out.

EDIT: Cavs signed him to an exhibit 10 so if he shows out it's a longshot.

I really hope Balceroski gets signed to a team contract. I would put him ahead of Kornet om the depth chart right now.

That's a Fact there. -- Davison isn't coming in for Pritchard, any time soon.
With Smart gone, and Brogdon Injury-Prone; I feel that we need to keep PP.

It's actually Not the Worst.
We missed one, during Danny's tenure, Non-COVID.

Kornet kompetition I can see and would support. But while I'm one of the wacky ones favoring 5 big men, I can't add another guy who isn't really a 4 defensively.

The turnover binge continues — lots of passes directly to the Knicks tonight

Good upswing for Banton tonight

Everyone else was meh

He'd be Great as a Back-of-the-Roster Big.

Banton was a bit sloppy, but I like his skill set of being a decently sized guy that can grab and go and get through traffic on the dribble. Would've liked to see him another level above the summer league guys though, and he has not been that.

You guys are seeing a lot more in that guy than I am. He’s had some nice moments in summer league while averaging like 8 and 5 for a bad SL team. Has good all around skills. But I’ve seen him compared to both a Gasol and at least one Lopez today and I don’t see anything like that.

15 NBA Players. 3 Two-Ways. We could develop the Kid.
At least give him an Exhibit 10, and bring him to Training Camp.

Battle Royale.
21-Man Offseason Roster.

At this point we know exactly what we got with luke cornet.. You almost have to take a chance on B-ski Because he shows that he might have more upside.. Plus he is still young.. Sorry luke but he is my pick as of now.

I don't see all of that. -- I see a 14th-15th-Man.
Ideally give him a Two-Way. But people here are saying that he wouldn't take it.

Again, give him an Exhibit 10, and let him Prove himself in Camp.

I am wondering if he will stand out more. Because of his passing with the main rotation players.

Shooting issues I expected, I would have liked to see a bit more aggressive play from him on defense. Not saying he was bad, but, want him to really use his length to be disruptive. He wasn't peak energy there like Walsh is.

FYI:

We can have up to 6 x Exhibit 10's, at any given point.
Meaning that we can Waive and Add, even more.

Also the cutting, which wasn't going to be highlighted in summer league play, especially since he was probably one of the guys the defense keyed on.
