Williams sums up the lack of proper vet leadership perfectly here. Interesting he mentioned Bertans as vocal leader. I didnt expect that

Looks like he's in my grandmothers house from 1940 with that weird fake wood wall paneling or whatever.

Didn't know Grant was hitting that well from three.

"I think it has just been diagnosed as a right knee injury. We'll continue to get some imaging and evaluations. The most important thing is that all of our prayers are with Grant, and we hope the news comes back as good as possible."

Gonna hope that's not a ligament tear, but that certainly sounds like code for torn ACL.

Even if it’s not ACL or meniscus, he’s clearly messed up his knee in a real way. So unlucky, just a freak wobble and boom. I think any playoff hopes are gone now (not that anyone should’ve seriously held them, but still)

So we can't sign anyone.

Looks like having Rhoden and Jefferies taking up space wasn't such a good idea.

I guess we'll see how serious this team is if they decide to cut Jeffries or trade micic for a 2nd or do nothing and roll with moose, Taj and salaun as only bigs.

That is not what this is saying... We will get 6.5 million once the exception is approved. At that point we waive Jefferies and get the money, having him on the roster didn't affect that.

All this. Never understood how some folks downplayed his value. One of the best non-statistical contributors we've had on this team in some time. Really hate to see this happen to him.

Lots of folks were begging him to give up an asset for a center. Carrying 5 centers on the roster and still not having anyone that can help with supplemental playmaking would have been a terrible mismanagement of the roster.

Let it play out and see what we have, we're not in a rush and rushed decision making is not a smart way to build a team.

Maybe you shouldn’t have cut Thor for nothing Jeff.

Thor is awful. No regrets there. I would have rather rather sign Moses Brown in preseason than keep Thor.
