    thought we were already stacked at guard and needed more forwards

    Our new Bobby Sura!!! He's going to shine with Mike D. Remember, Mike D made scrub like Jerry Lin looks good.

    Imagine what Mike D can do with Neo Bobby Sura

    We're good on forwards, Covington, House, Tucker, Green, Carroll, McLemore, Caboclo...we're good.

    Tyler gives us the 4th guard we need to put up buckets in garbage time.

    Harden/Westbrook/Gordon/Rivers is good, but we don't want to put mileage on them.
    At 6'3", he'll take minutes from Clemons who couldn't put up enough 3s to stay significant, plus has more impact in the league, and Clemons is a NG contract lext season. Not a bad pickup if the contract is of equivalent exchange.

    what a joke

    the only interest I have in this move is that maybe they can retain him for cheap if we lose Rivers or trade EG and his sh*t contract over the summer

    This guy can help us defensively...has also played meaningful starter minutes in the past.

    I’m not mad if they sign him. You never know who will go down if this Bubble Playoffs still happens.

    Wouldn’t be mad at this signing at all. Someone who can play now just in case and also insurance if rivers and EG aren’t on the team down the line

    Clemons cannot play in our current system, not able to switch everything.

    Would love this move, hope it's not Morey's final move this season.

    Still need at least one more big: Jonah Bolden, Justin Anderson or Ryan Broekhoff

    Why? This is not Morey like to tell his move before unless it’s on a big name player which T. Johnson is not.

    i get that clemons is too small to switch, but johnson has been horrid the past couple years and it would be a miraculous reclamation project to bring him back to circa 2017 in just 8 games

    But Johnson can get hot and has the length and athleticism that fits team need.

    But most importantly, Johnson could actually get playing time THIS season - Clemons will not.

    ???

    We always know which players Morey is targeting in the waiver wire or buyout market, and none of them are ever big name players.
