    There is still an open roster slot, and it's understandable waiting for someone of value to shake free, but what type of player do you think we're waiting for?

    I ask mainly because I think there's a guy out there to perfectly round out the team. Will be an end of bench guy who could back up the 5 if anything happens. Has recent playoff experience and could be a very good vet in Bismack Biyambo.

    I can maybe see a player better than him shaking free before pre season, but I don't know if there will be the combo of talent and fit.

    Who would you like to see? Or what type of player do you want to round out our roster?

    We are 2nd on the the waver wire and the team in front of us is full of bigs. As teams trim their rosters the picking should be good. Watch for youth movement (lots of draft picks) teams. They normally pick high but can’t keep them all. OKC signed Sarr my hope is Arkansas Williams gets cut. SAS has 5 centers and now VW. Maybe not these people but talent is going to come across the waver wire.

    Realized the bench and 3rd unit are very young......and likely not that experienced.

    Hudgins is my favorite of the 2Ws. He looked like a competent NBA backup PG all SL long.

    Not saying I want him back but honestly, it is crazy.

    All the talent in the world and this man is gonna have to settle for a training camp invite/league minimum deal.

    I remember some fearing he would get a max deal. :D

    “He’s gonna get paid!”
    “Be prepared to pay him or trade him now!”

    And we traded him for TyTy who was dumped, waived, and couldn't land a league minimum deal either.

    Its a tough league
