I was wrong that they would preserve all the space they can to the deadline. I know its minimal money, but why not just wait?

So who's going to make the Masai-Nigerian connection joke first?

Seriously speaking, this kid was killing it offensively whenever I checked the box score in the G League.

Kid?

He's a 27 year old man that's the same age as Brown.

The size he has looks good with his scoring ability. He's a bad shooter though. We need a back up guard, 3+D, and big men prospects.

Rewarding 905 players. Eugene has been a pretty good player so far.

On a side note, he looks like Draymond Green.

We need to bring back Anthony Bennett and give him 1 last chance to prove why the Cavs selected him #1

Yup. He deserves it.

Plus, you bring Eugene up for 10 games, he gets some.cash & it allows the 905 to play Mogbo a ton of minutes without Eugene there. .

Eugene Omoruyi – Raptors 905, SF, 6’6’’, 27 years old
Omoruyi has played himself into a callup before. He’s right on the fringe of being on an NBA roster. This season, he’s refocused a bit as more of a finisher and defender. That focus has Omoruyi hitting 59.2% from the floor, while grabbing 7.9 rebounds. He’s the kind of athlete that teams like, because Omoruyi can be pretty plug-and-play in a pinch.

Yup.

Brought up a 6'6 27 year old on a 10 day to replace a starting C.

He is turning 28 very soon. He is actually pretty good but this is likely just making it rain for some 905 guys until the trade deadline. I liked Dylan Disu in the tip off tournament of the season but he hasn’t played the last half dozen games for the 905. Is he injured?
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….
