    I like how you ask why it would be foolish and then list off a couple of great reasons why it would be foolish.

    That is some of the most over-hyping of an average player in basketball history.

    14mpg like 4pts, and a few decent passes, you can find Usman Garuba in every YMCA in the world - he is nothing special... (yes, that is the anti-hype equivalent).

    Sorry DD but you can't find Euroleague champions in any old YMCA. Are YMCAs still around?

    Kelvin Cato at least had to play a few Pre-Season games before he got a contract extension, Bruno haven't even played a Pre-Season game.

    Not a fan but at that price he's basically free. In 2 years Giannis will be making $75M per year and that 2.8M number might be below vet min.

    Almost certain the Rockets have a trade tentatively agreed upon after doing this. Has to be, right?

    Martin or
    Mathews or
    Gordon

    Decent value for what he brings in this market. Like his hustle. And maybe he's developed a corner 3? But this roster glut... I wonder if this is a sign-and-trade, or a sign-and-keep.

    Bruno must had a really good 3 days.....$10M/4yrs. All joking aside, I thought he should've played more last yr.

    Yeah, I'm surprised they convert him now. I guess they aren't going to sign WCS after all. Even if they don't, now they have 5 guys in contract who can play center. And that doesn't include Jabari. Looks like they are planning on trading Favors.

    I believe we bring in a sixth and seventh center to offset the loss of wood

    I see that you are loosely using the word 'play'.
