Can we change the typo in the title?

Anyway, I'm really glad to hear this. He really was a joy to watch at the end of the season and against the Spurs. He and Favors would not back down in that Game 4 and I was really proud of them for that. I was on the fence in the Carroll/Howard debate, but I am now firmly on the Carroll side.

I think as a bench guy, he is a nice player to have.

Def a bench guy, but a keeper. I'm glad.

THIS is a perfect example of earning a spot. This isn't "well, maybe one day in the future CJ will do something useful." We're rewarding a guy for what he's already done: maximized his talents while never giving up.

Definitely a good bench player that can start if needed bc of injury. He would benefit from working on consistently hitting his 3 and become a Bruce Bowen type player. He by far exceeded my expectations.

Love it!

If Carrol is a bench guy, what does that make our starters who he outperformed the last month or two? Hopefully, we are able to sign a real SF to start.

KOC just said a little bit ago that nothing is certain until it has to be. at this moment, all we have is carroll's best guess. his said to locke that based off his exit interview, he expects the team to pick up its option on him.

we all know how reliable verbal agreements are. and we may not even have that.

He's everything I want in a player. He knows his role, and he performs his role extremely well. He even steps up at the right time, when other players are struggling.

I love the pickup. Picking him up only furthers my hopes of not re-signing Miles or Howard.

the way he's played, they won't not pick his option up.

Deseerves a roster spot and a minimum contract
