We need a full waiver list after today.

Don't blame the Lakers. Other teams can make offers too.
Also, it's not like Mo Bamba is some world beater. He gets winded after 20 minutes. They should've kept Thomas Bryant.

judging by the last few matchups Bev didn’t have much guarding Fox potential left

Logically, Bryant gives you effort and could be a big help on different nights offensively, whereas Mo Bamba could be of help defensively but maybe not much else otherwise. I'm not sure it's an improvement either way, to be honest... haha

The western conference teams just won't go away. This is Monte's pat on the head moment. Other teams clearly feel that Sac is a pretender or is bound to drop down the standings.

Bamba hasn't really been a huge defender or anything aside from being physically long thus far in his career though

The only Fox stoppers these days are usually those with length and quick feet. Pat Bev left that category for at least a few years.

The Hornets are trading center Mason Plumlee to the Clippers, source tells ESPN.

Yeah, at least with Bryant you can always count on the effort being there.

Bamba is an ok bench player. They days of hoping he becomes anything more than that are over. The Magic tried to make him a major rotation player and it didn't work out. He will give you a really solid 15 minutes and then his play will fall off dramatically. It's not like we missed out on much here.

Clippers are sending Reggie Jackson to Charlotte in the deal, source tells ESPN. https://t.co/tIh0QdCcX3

THEY'RE GETTING RUSS LOL

Thybulle has given him problems in the past. Smaller sample size. Portland just landed him. That will be interesting. 3 more vs them.
Dort in the past but Fox did pretty well last time around

Teams on paper aren't teams on the actual floor.

I think people are overestimating the impact. They also go worse in some.

I mean, Reggie Jackson is probably better than whatever we were offering

Ill be curious to hear what the trade package was for Mason

It was a big mistake playing Metu over Holmes this season if the lack of interest holds out. He was obviously the new K9/JT in the making once Monte held onto him after last deadline but the question now is whether Monte attaching a 1st to him on draft night even gets him moved.

Rob Pelinka traded for Mo because he wanted that Bamba Mentality.

These are also teams with a history of winning players and franchises that know how to win.

Clippers also have a history of stepping on their own dongs though. Doing all this and then bringing in Russ would be a net negative

I'd like to pick up Pat B if he's bought out. Upgrade over Davion at the backup PG.

It's why Thybulle is a DPOY contender. His unorthodox style with his 6'5" and 6'11" wingspan frame is a very strange combo that gives most players problems.
