    i dont have a problem keeping any of these guys... but it doesnt make much sense...

    They are all outside of the rotation and it's highly likely that none see any significant minutes...

    so based on that... shouldnt u be using those spots to try to find a diamond in the rough?

    i mean, we know the ceiling on all of these guys...

    if we had a roster full of question marks then being able to fallback on a vet is good practice... but that aint the case...

    The thread title confuses me. I thought they're trading Jalen?

    Calling Tate garbage is straight up disrespectful. He was the only bright light when we were fielding a team of John Wall, Christian Woods, PJ Tucker and Sterling Brown.

    Probably but marginal NBA players are usually called scrubs, Tate is fine......

    but I don't mind the term although Tate is content with sitting at the end of the bench/in the stands which is garbage attitude.

    No hunger to prove himself. You are right that when Christian Wood here, I saw the most of Tate.

    We need Uncle Jeff to sit with Uncle Kev on the park bench.

    You can’t stock your team with potential prospects. You need guys who can contribute if they are called upon but won’t lose an edge or become unprofessional not playing.
    These guys are fierce competitors that are proven NBA players. They are awesome 3rd stringers that are key for good practice sessions and workouts.

    We got back 3 of our players for the vet min to fill out the end of the bench. Every team has to do this but not every team has these guys. You might find a better player but not one for this team. These guys are important 5-10 games a year and may play 1 out of 5 games. It's hard to find guys GOOD at that existence. Young unsigned players have the benefit of floating to the GLeague and getting playing time and have the promise they might improve over time. These guys know their role is permanent and stay prepared to help the team. Very happy we solidified our team. Go use our remaining assets/cap for NTMLE to get another good player and then wait for Summer League.
