    I feel like Favors is the one who goes, I wonder if our FO had a talk with his agent and decided to try to find a deal for him, if not buy him out at the end of pre season.

    Between Sengun, Fernando, Boban + Smith and Garuba small ball 5 where is the room?

    I was hoping that we could "John Wall" him until a trade is found. Wait until the trade deadline if we have to

    We could have done exactly that if we kept Fernando on the 2-way, but we didn’t so clearly something is going on for somebody

    Also, Boban and Favors only 2 players to not have played tonight (outside of Maledon, Stein and Harkless)

    not sure if Favors or the OKC guys have been cleared with physicals though

    I just don't like Nix, he does something nice now and then, but his overall play is just underwhelming.

    You mean Tate - I believe he just got signed to an extension, so I think there is some rule that he cannot yet be traded.

    Oops. Yes Tate and I think you're right. Maybe a buy out for Favors.

    Poor Fernando. If he makes it to the end of that deal he will be making minimum wage in California the final year.

    Bruno looks like the first choice for backup C.

    Someone got to be moving for a SRP or buyout, or Willie did not pass the in person Bruno eye test.

    What probably happened is:

    1. Rox made him a 2 way cuz they dont have room, plan is to unload Fsvors by midseason and then convert BF (2 ways need to be converted after some time).
    2. Bruno prob got an offer from some other team thats why Rox converted him after 3 days.
    3. There is prob a trade in the wings or somebody else with a guaranteed deal is gonna get cut. Maybe buy out from Fsvors? We have 16 guys right now I dunno who gets cut. Maybe KJ Martin since he doesnt wanna be here anyway.


    Regardless this is a fantastic deal and underrated signing by Rafael Stone. Bruno is who we want Garuba to be, super athletic with good at size to play 4 or 5.

    Most likely someone offered a real deal to him and his camp. Rox arent gon a convert him for no reason.

    I agree, except for the YMCA part.

    Right now I dont see the reason why everyone is clamoring over Garuba when we have Fernando doing everything he is expected to do.

    Spurs are total crap and Uzman couldnt even do anythign vs them.
