    Didn’t even realize we signed this guy and the first news I see is a bad injury. Boo.

    If we’re bringing back the Ice-cream Man, we’ll need to bring back announcers who know how to call his actions. Is the combination of Matt Bullard, Bill Worrell, Craig Ackerman and Ryan Hollins too much for us to handle?

    No it is not. Therefore, sign DMo for three mo.

    Should have just kept Hartenstein. But now he’s a star with the Knicks.

    I've been thinking of Harty. Like you, and @Williamson (no doubt), I wish we still had him.

    Unlike many, I didn't dig the signing. Yes, he's cheap, but I wanted a guy that will play above the rim on both ends. I'm rooting for him, now. But, this really sucks out of the gate.

    Unless that sucker’s broken, he’ll be back.

    A month and change until training camp
    Two months+week until the season starts

    And even if he does miss the season, I still

    Just because something doesn't work the first 12 or 13 times doesn't mean it never will, right?

    If he's got a Jones fracture he's out for awhile. Ask Zion or Kevin Durant

    - guy who had a Jones fracture last year

    Would like to see how responsibility works with him, and how important that is when a coach implements it, give him a non-guaranteed deal with some money up front - and see how it goes.

    His scoring is at an elite level for a guy his size, his heart is the question, but sometimes guys need a boot in the ass.

    Low risk, high reward, just cut him if it doesn't work. That is a good reminder to other players on the team too......win win.

    Everyone is forgetting the bigger picture...

    I'm astounded at the lack of attention this is getting.

    This has serious implications.

    It's not just about losing one depth piece.

    This could reverberate across the franchise for years.

    We need this front court depth for the First Inaugural Midseason Tournament.

    Yes, true, it is so important.

    Was definitely not a fan of Wood (cardboard) the last couple of yrs he was here, but on a cheap deal with a clear backup role defined, knowing the pecking order, he could be a good option. Would have preferred Jock for the IQ and hustle, but he might be out a good while.

    This is the answer on a team of veterans trying to win a championship. Here keep his toxic self away.

    Wait and see what comes across the waiver wire, we are second on it anyway. There will be a serviceable big that will come across. Use the 2 way contact to sign a younger player. We will be okay.
