Just got reported on Bleacher Report that we signed MCW to a 10 day contract to improve our PG depth.

Decent move, 27 year old tall PG.

Long point guard that fits WeHams agenda. Adds to the depth and can compete with Grant for backup minutes. Decent move with Briscoe hurt and Grant as a bad backup in the short term.

Very good observation. Will be able to take over for Grant much quicker :clap:

Not a great player but better than Grant and is familiar with Clifford so he can adjust quickly. Good move.

I wonder if the intention is for him to play over Grant immediately or if it's just for an emergency.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

The one PG in the league who might legit be worse than Grant.

MCW stinks, sadly he is still better than Jerian Grant.

Anyone over Grant, please! I'd rather run Mozgov as the backup PG over Grant! And he's injured!

This signing sums up our horrific PG situation.

I remember for years people demanded we trade for MCW on this board. Now he’s the worst pg ever and we sign him. Typical Magic type of move. I’d would have rather pulled Steve Francis out of retirement. On that note, what happened to this guy? He was ROY over Victor Oladipo if I recall correctly. On another side note, someone mentioned Mozgov, we’re paying him, why not use up his 6 fouls a night??
You look confused...let me fill you in.

Maybe flunking out of the league got him to work on his jumper?

Doubtful. I guess it’s better than doing nothing and the what’s the worst that can happen?
