Fountain of Youth at 32 years old. Youngest free agent Horst has ever signed.

We've still got a lot of work to do IMO.

“This is his (insert number) team,” shouldn’t be a barometer of someone’s value.

There are a few nice role players on it. That said, I'm not sure you want to be the "ninth team" but rather the second or third team.

Shout out to my fellow General, Mike Wilks. Good dude

Should be a solid bench option. Hopefully we've still go something up our sleave for a starting two guard.

Been waiting 6yrs for Delon to be a Buck. Better late than never

I call that "Eric Bledsoe" syndrome.

Wright was more Victories Over Replacement in his 14 games with Miami than Beasley was in his 79 games with the Bucks.

Beasley was useless, Wright is useful.

Is Wright much of a different player to Payne? This looks like a similar signing in terms of what he'll offer. Worth a flyer but not expecting much from him in terms of production.

Defensively in a different stratosphere. Wright was in the 97 percentile in steals and 99th percentile in deflections. He has the length to switch. Playoff riser.

I've often mentioned that Wright was a career 40% career playoff 3 point shooter, but I should update that, he's now up to 43% from 3 in the playoffs. He'll feast next to Giannis.

Do you guys remember what Brook's nickname was in here for like 10 years after we drafted BOA Alexander 2 picks before him? Everyone called him Wilt lol.. I think we passed on him because we already had bigs so it wasn't a position of need

Former #1 Andrew Bogut was the C & they bet on him developing. Problem was he had a career altering injury. Was looking like the best center in the NBA for a stretch before it happened.

Turns out he's also a dbag off the court, so whatever.
