the last few times Raps have signed 10 days, they have played for the 905 exclusively.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Hopefully we start actually playing guys like him and JFL. Let’s see if they can be useful for us.

Wonder when we'll find our Embiid considering there's one hundred walking around in Africa.

Masai was definitely exaggerating but the point was these guys don't get the opportunity to play basketball at all at a young age. You're taking it too literally but I guess that's expected with some.

Yes - I am definitely the one taking things too literally.

If he doesn't work out, you can always package him in a deal.

There are 1.46 billion people in Africa, so there could be 100 Embiid's and your chances of finding one is 0.00000685%

I guess Masai wasn't lying, just exaggerating our chances of landing one

I find it very strange that JFL hasn't been given a shot yet.

Out of those 0.00000685%, how many have fathers that personally know Masai?

I wonder how quickly he loses his ability to shoot a 3 after joining the team :lol:


Loses ability to shoot 3s, decreased vertical, forgets how to dribble... You know what it is.

When he plays badly, we can photoshop his face on the side of a Milk Carton.

Or on a wannabe DJ's body.


Back on topic, he looks interesting with his burst, athleticism and shooting. Still wondering why we haven't given JFL some run.

DJ MilkCarton is a pretty great name for a scrub.

For everyone asking for a backup PG, that spot is open on purpose. FO wants those reps to go to Scottie and they've removed every possible obstacle in front of that at this point.

Yeah this is really 'who can be a 3rd string energy guard for next year' sort of investigation. Between him and JFL etc.

I'm not sure what people keep seeing in JFL, he looks pretty meh, and isn't he always injured?
