I think this move is probably a good one going into the playoffs as I said when I brought Lance up in the Lamb thread. My one concern is taking away too many minutes from Sumner who might finally be hitting his stride.

Curious as to what you see as the upside? If he plays, that means we’re not playing Sumner. What do you picture his role or spot in the rotation to be?

I'm not for this move but I see two possible advantages: 1) it is injury protection for Sumner. 2) he has more playoff experience than Sumner or AHoliday.

Looks like this could get ugly. Lance’s league is summoning him and all American players to return and finish out their contract. All players will also be required to serve a mandatory 14 day quarantine upon their return.

CBA is still hoping to finish their season, and Lance is in China I believe.

Otherwise, we’re healthy now, except for Lamb. And, with the GLeague season now cancelled we can play NML and Bowen as much as we want in the lead up to the playoffs.

there are rumors that the plan loosens the rules on 2-ways. perhaps we'll just have a 17 man roster for the playoffs.

I believe I read that any player who was signed overseas would be ineligible to play as a replacement player in the new Orlando format. AKA guys like Lance, Bogut, etc wouldn't be allowed to return to the NBA this year.
