It's dangerous to sign him, if that's what you mean. Not worth the massive ego he comes with.

Raps are at 11 now. Can’t do any 10-day deals but they are complying with the league rules now.

They have 12 more days to find some more guys. Lots of time.

The Mack is a terrible player. We didnt miss anything

He could shoot the 3 at league average rate at least. It's more about how bad the other options are now...

I think Markeif would be ideal.

Ujiri has to convince VCs agent to ask for a buyout

I am so desperate for shooting, so yes.

Lol Honestly I was thinking the same thing. If Masai can talk him into taking a Limited Bench Role...I dont see why not

At this point it is super low risk if it doesn't work out. I remember 3 years ago people were proposing trading for him and his massive contract. It's not like that anymore, he would be signed cheap. We have plenty of defense, it's time to improve our offense and he can still go lights out on scoring. The kind of guy you want in playoffs when your main players like Kawhi and Lowry are the focus of opponents defense.

He even had a 4 game stretch this season with 20ppg and shooting 50% from deep.

If he’s willing to be a bench guy he’s the type of the guy that can get hot and change a series (like Powell against the Bucks in 2017)

Like he wouldn’t be my first choice but the market looks pretty bad right now

Something fishy is going on and I couldn’t find anything about it. OKC released Abrinas because of personal reasons. They don’t know what’s going on with him. Since he played in Spanish national team I wonder if Raptors will investigate and eventually sign him. This year he had 7 3 pointers in one game.

We're going to have to wait for this buyout market to further materialize

Alcohol or substance abuse. Team executives already know that's why theres no buzz about anyone wanting to pick him up.

I have absolutely despised the idea of VC coming back. I have have held an unhealthy disdain verging on initial hatred for VC when he was first traded, until now.

This team needs a 3pt threat off the bench and VC might be one of the very limited options available .

At this point, with the Raps being all in, I'm on board with bringing him back. I don't know if that says more about the lack of shooting Masai has been unable to address or the desperation I'm starting to feel.

Right now, our best option is Swaggy P.

I'm so so so so peeved we couldn't at least get ONE guy that was worth it on the buyout market.

We need a quality backup 4..so Og can ride the bench.... and a high quality 3pt shooter....

That’s Markieff, if Lakers don’t grab him he’s our best option.
