Dust has settled. We draft Avdija at #9. Winston at #53. Signed Lopez to just under the MLE for one year. Re-signed Bertans to 5 years $80M though the final year is only partially guaranteed, so its basically a 4 year $64M deal...

Projected depth chart:

PG Westbrook(Wall traded)/Ish/Neto/Winston(2-Way)
SG Beal/Brown/Robinson/Matthews(2-Way)
SF Bonga/Avdija
PF Hachimura/Bertans/Gill
C Bryant/Lopez/Wagner

That's 14 guys, leaving room for one more if there's a bunch of injuries at one position. Presumably, Mathews is retained on a 2-way. Winston is also on a 2-way. So, looks like two roster spots open.

A total meh offseason. I'd have signed Harkless and Noel for defensive purposes.

EG always left that 15 spot open to fill come playoff time. Him and Shep are the same person.

How wall plays will determine if we are a 6th-8th seed or not. If wall plays like shyt or barely plays, we win 20 to 30 games.

He's had 2 years to rest and work on his game. Everyone says his shot looks really good and he has his quickness back.

Doesn't sound like he is going to play back to backs.

Any word if they are going to start him out on a minutes restriction?

I bet he doesn't play more than 30 minutes per game to start

About 20-25 minutes to start the season should be good enough to start. As long as he can make it through the season without any flare ups would be a trend in the right direction.

 

[L. Deezy]

only worried about Walls overall attitude. if they start off losing, will he start pouting? The inevitable shipping him somewhere talk

 

[mastermind]

First-round and out is our cap.

I heard all that good talke about gilbert as well. I need to see it on the court

 

[Spree At Last]

we've been hearing this shyt about wall's "improved" jump shot for years. i'm skeptical, let's see what happens tho.

 

[Smashius Clay]

I'd have signed Harkless and Noel for defensive purposes.

I always felt like we should've drafted Noel instead of Otto.

EDIT: To clarify, this was my thought on draft night in 2013.

Speaking of Otto...his boy just deleted the post but the internet never forgets. They had a Halloween party in the middle of a pandemic

Don't see us being anything better than an 8th seed unless Rui, brown, and TB make ridiculous jumps or we make a trade

You peep that face he made after he fed that Asian joint a drink tho?
