    It’s a team friendly deal but I hope he will shoot better next season.

    I love what the FO is trying to do with these FA targets/signings. Effort, defense, locker room. Too many times we've seen rebuilds where there are no adults in the room. These vets will make sure the rookies are on the right track.

    Tate, Nwaba, and Ego if he’s still around will get those boys right offensively and defensively. All thicc boys, strong as hell, and hard nosed defenders. Plus they go HARD on both ends. Going to be a lot of bumping, grabbing and fouling in practice and when they have the ball on offense lots of shoulders into chests. Green and Christopher will get the baptism by fire treatment.

    Tate and Nwaba going to be doing a lot of baby rocking early on in practice. Too big, too strong.

    Killer draft, Theis and Nwaba on team friendly contracts. This offseason is the sh*t so far. Stone is gaining high marks!!!

    Morey loved 6'8 power forwards

    Stone loves high motor athletes with bounce.

    I like it.

    This is nothing more than a trade filler signing.

    Great pick up, fits many lineups, has the tools we want and a cheap deal that is easily tradeable. Love what he brings and happy he is going to keep being a rocket

    Glad. He has heart and helped in the many wins we had last year. He will help the young guys. Good vet to have around.

    Much like Theis, he will probably be desired by contenders trying to perfect their roster.

    Until then they tolerate the losing, play hard, and try to cover for some of the stupid s**t our kids are gonna do this year.

    Really glad we resigned Nwaba! When he came in that game with an injured hand because we were short, he showed me something. Most athletes today, put themselves first, but he clearly cared about the team. Liked him before, but dude won me over that night.

    Really like what Stone's done in the draft and FA so far. Now his mission is to trade Wall, Gordon and House in any order. If he can make that magic happen then he's truly the reincarnation of... https://clip.cafe/excalibur-1981/the-future-taken-root-in-the-present/
