    The last one was in 1995. A 25 YEAR WAIT AND COUNTING.

    Want some top young explosive talents again for a change instead of those old arse veterans who run out of oxygen every year.

    And some real height while they are at it.

    Quite possible they go small but getting Nwaba was about signing a player with the upside to be a very good rotation piece and releasing a player that really isn't all that good.

    Did Nwaba garner interest elsewhere? If not, it's hard to believe teams would suddenly generate interest over a player coming off Achilles rehab, in a Covid shortened season.

    Won't go that far, but when we are getting our asses kicked because the 3s aren't falling and we can't get a rebound.......this is a day I will remember.

    Height is not over rated, it is under rated.

    Daryl: Hey David, this is Daryl.

    David: Hi Daryl.

    Daryl: Are you 6'5?

    David: Yes.

    Daryl: We'll have a contract drawn up immediately.

    To beat the Lakers, we need them to be forced to match-up with with our speed and spacing, not the other way around.

    Only a complete tard would drop Hartenstein in there against Lebron and AD.

    It's the other way around. Trade role players for other role players, even worse, trade young draft prospects for 28 year old undersized Shumperts. This GM overvalues 3 point percentage over height and other skills.

    could we put Nwaba on IR and re-sign Harty? (Just a random thought)

    NBA needs it then, especially given current circumstances.

    not really. your thought of putting a healthy IHart on IR is pretty much the reason they got rid of it.
