    No no no, they need to take shots at lower level picks that haven't had a real chance yet, it is a way for them to look at 1st round picks without having any.

    Not saying he is the answer for them, but he is a cheap way to look at a former 5 start first round talent.

    The only thing Tyty did worth a damn was bring the ball up without turning it over.

    He shot terrible .... he didn't defend well. 23% from 3 on mostly open looks.

    I don't want her, you can have her, she's too fat for me.

    I think they should have traded out of those picks for future bites at the apple, they had too many young guys to give that bunch any meaningful minutes (what meaningful minutes there are on a 20 win team).

    Lakers also brought in Cam Reddish and Teurean Prince to go with
    Rui Hachimaui
    Jaxon Hayes

    Playing Suns and Lakers this year is going to be brutal

    and Nix was a 5 star recruit out of highschool as well

    According to @lmanimal we can't pick up up for 6 months. My guess is Dallas is going to sign him. They always seems to jump on players like this.

    So Rockets can resign TyTy and Garuba now that they have been cut by OKC?

    That would be Epic!! (and I don't use that word. Sounds like I'm 20 or some $hit)

    This is saying, every franchise will go through rebuilding when their superstars get severely injured or retire.

    I think the answer is YES because they were traded TWICE and then cut. That means they are straight FA who can sign with anyone with except perhaps WAS.

    We have FVV with Amen behind him and KPJ in Amen’s shadow. Why would we bring back TyTy? Usman on the other hand…

    Surprised OKC didn't get 2 future 1st rounders for Garuby and Lesbian Washington.

    Garuba never really looked like an NBA player. I'm not sure why or what it was about him, but he always seemed kinda fringe. He is young, hopefully he turns it around, but I think he would be better off overseas.
