    Yep, we only needed his capspace before the Bosh signing fell through. Being a 1st round pick, he's guaranteed a salary as long as he wants to play (for us) this year. Capela's camp has been steadfast in that regard.

    He didn't play in the summer league because he wasn't cleared by FIBA yet. Look for him in training camp and D league after that.

    Since the article says Alessandro Gentile is expected to remain in Europe for at least another season, he extended his contract with Olympia Milano until 2017. But maybe you already know that.

    The question is whether there is an buyout clause in this contract and what the amount is for each season.

    We'll have his Bird Rights. That will help our flexibility for Summer 2017.

    We were counting on you to get the Johnson jokes out of the way up top. Now look what's happened. :(

    His size allows him to penetrate before the defense can stop him.

    It is not the size of the Johnson but in how you use him.
