Watch on YouTube

He was solid when he played. Too bad he was always injured.

Hope he sends Masai a nice gift for the 12M he was given for nothing.

Up there with Hedo as our best FA signing ever!

Was probably a worthwhile gamble for the team. Limited cost. Didn't work out.

Seemed like a good guy.

When we got him, I said that the big issue was health.

In his case, it should have been a 65 game requirement to get paid. Basically used us to rehab his chronic injuries.

23 games in over 1.5 seasons. Terrible.

Wish we saw him play more but all the best to him.

To me, he feels like the opportunity that got away… the whole Pascal-OG-Barns all 6’9 lineup idea can only work with sufficient shooting around them, and Otto was supposed to be a big factor to enable that. Had Otto been healthy and playing well, they just might have had enough to grind through.

He seems like a very good locker room guy, wish him the best.

To bad he got hurt even if we knew that was a risk.

That signign had the potential to either be the GOAT or WOAT FA signing

When you are dealing in the world of 1/5 to 2/12 type contracts they rarely seem to add significant value. Sometimes they are decent to good rotation players, but often they fight on the fringes of that level.

They are not going to pay off often. but at times they do - for whatever reasons we seem to miss all the time.

Thanks Otto for playing those 23 games over 1.5 seasons.

Assuming he got about $9 million in pay, that works out to about $391,000 per game.

He scored 83 points so that works out to $108,000 per point.

Business.
