Feels like we have more assistant coaches than players.

What happened to Beal?

Had surgery to fix his nose, so nothing.

Until his first practice in September or October and he’s out again 20-30 games.

Perfect complimentary role player during his NBA career. Hopefully he can guide the role players on the team.

I also wanted to note I recently went through my old basketball cards from the late 90s to around 2001ish. Have a "sophomore sensation" James Posey card, probably a few. They aren't valuable, but going through the time machine that is basketball cards is quite a ride. I didn't even know I had a Monty Williams card when he played with the Magic.

He makes about $750K less. I wonder how much that saves in luxury tax?

Not that it was a big deal but I never understood why they traded for Roddy in the first place.

So Jones extended Roddy only to have to trade him.

With Dunn not being ready I'd get Covington and cut Liddell.

Who will we sign when he's cut?

Okogie seems to be earmarked as the wing defender or the contract to get one.

So a PG? Tyus Jones?

I think we are in repeater tax so it’s like 3x or 5x that amount.. not insignificant especially if no 2nds were paid

Was hoping they could just get off his deal free and clear but apparently nobody would even take that sub-$3mil salary lol

Assuming this is the last major addition, are you more excited than you were last offseason?
