    Yeah, no Theis has no chance of coming to Houston. We don't need another Center to set screens.

    Lakers looking at Theis, Mo Bamba, Willie Cauley-Stein, Dwight Howard

    Lakers are expected to waive Cam Reddish to make room. Cam Reddish is shooting 28%
    from 3 and nobody guards him. So he wouldn't open things up for us.

    No one name worthy is going for buyouts. Maybe wait a few more days.

    Not trying to nit pick but it's not the summer break where nothing is happening and news is slow. Ben Simmons has signed with the Clippers. Can we get his image and that storyline off the front page? Again, I know it's nit picky but I thought Clutch had a staff or was running this website. That header space is the face of the website, why are irrelevant topics left up there to rot?

    It will be left there for 2 years Congratulations.

    Ben Simmons is a Topic again. Media all wanted Ben Simmons over Jalen Green Draft Pick.

    Where is Ben Simmons now, barely a roster spot.

    Jamal is focusing on his own problems right now. And I'm sure Joker would help Alp if they were not contemporaries or if they played together. My Harden analogy is for all the young players he mentored as they played together i.e. Maxey + Hyland.

    Ran into Tilman today and kind of followed him around waiting for an opportunity to ask him about the team, but then it became awkward and I gave up lol

    Should Rockets sign Mo Bamba to a 2 way contract + play him exclusively at the 4? He is a career 36% 3P shooter on decent volume (shot 39% 3P with Clips). And he would be an impressive weakside rim protector. His issue has always been effort + strength defending post. Bamba is clearly not an NBA 5.

    Ngl I think he knew I was trying to talk to
    Him because he walked out of the cafeteria and then back around to the entrance. I was like nahh that’s too obvious.

    Tough game schedule.
    Injury problem.
    No buyout signing? Stone is doing horrible job.

    Mo Bamba is ineligible to sign a two-way contract. Too many years of service.

    I'll never understand the Mo Bamba obsession. Low motor, low IQ, he is just not an NBA player. Even if he was eligible for a two way, I would stay the hell away.
