They are probably looking to cycle a couple more guys through that 21st spot so they can use affiliate rights to fill out the Maine Celtics.

Kylor Kelley was the starter for Maine last season and he signed an Exhibit 10 with the Lakers (yuck) this summer so there's definitely a job opening there.

Yeah, I'm assuming he ends up on our Maine squad..we need someone to play center for that team..and he looked pretty good vs us in summer league 2023..

Svi told him this was the place to be.

I am trying so hard not to use the utterly tasteless joke on the table here.

Maine is preferable to the Donbas.

Stretch 5,
looks like he has a nice shooting touch,
apparently never played a minute of College Basketball,
late developer with fluidity and good size.

From some clips I saw, looks a bit like Jokić out there... if Jokić was playing on crutches.

But I'm all about that late developer/fluidity narrative. Let the Skapintsev era begin!

That's exactly how I would describe my own game. Consider me unimpressed officially now lol.

Assuming we release all of the guys on camp deals, we have 14 under contract. I feel like Brad has covered all the bases, except we didn’t really replace Oshae Brisset as a ‘quick forward’ who can play 4 or 5 in matchup like with Indiana. Jordan Walsh has looked great but he’s a few months from being a teenager, probably not guarding Siakim in the playoffs.

In the draft we took Anton Watson to play that role but he hasn’t showed any sign he’ll be capable of it, despite that he’s already 24 yrs. I know you can’t really count on a 2nd pick to play a role on a contender, but it’s been done, see Big Baby Davis.

Honestly, we’ve been talking about biting the bullet and signing Lonnie Walker as a 15th man, but maybe a better move is just bring back Oshae who was a big positive last year, even as a non-shooter.

Tillman takes on those matchups. If he can stay in front of guards, he can stay infront of Siakam. We've already seen X being paired with Q, K, and Horf.

I love X, and he can play minutes in that spot but he doesn’t really fit the mold of a springy, wiry lane filler who’s throwing down tomahawk jams off the dish… not taking away from Tillman at all tho.

Oh, I thought you were talking about the defensive end. Yeah, X isn't Brissett on offense but still a decent board crasher. So instead of putback dunks, we get kickouts for threes or awkward hooks hehe.
