    I doubt if Morey will do such a thing. Small ball is what he wants, and MDA too.

    I like him despite his age. He is very professional in his approach. Good luck to him.

    definitely room to upgrade. he was pretty underwhelming to say the least here. dude has looked bad for a while. and never cared for his signing in the first place

    wonder who the substitute player is going to be



    what's this guy up to since this day

    I don't think he sucks but I agree with everything else you posted.

    I don't even understand why any player that's unlikely to crack a rotation or any team that's seriously unlikely to make it into the playoffs are taking the risk.

    The way the game is played, constant wiping of faces and passing around a single, dirty ball, no possibility of distancing or washing hands after sharing that ball. And more than anything the asymptomatic carriers and the fact that the symptomatic ones are most contagious a couple days before symptoms present themselves. Temperature checks are mostly optics. They're not reliable. And false negative tests abound. So I wouldn't regard the safety measures to provide any reliable safety.

    I understand why they're going forward and I'm very glad it's coming back for my own entertainment but the whole thing seems damn risky to me.

    I don't see why any player or team that doesn't have a good reason to be there would take the risk and of course this is what Thabo should have done.

    Westbrook / Rivers
    Gordon / McLemore
    Harden / House
    Covington / Carroll
    Tucker / Green

    Bench warmers - Chandler / Caboclo / Clemons

    Thabo wasn't a big piece at all, but he was a legitimately solid rotational piece/injury insurance. He showed his defense is still there in multiple games this season, our incredibly thin rotation just got thinner, our lack of size and depth will kill us.

    Respect his decision.

    One of the oldest players, and declining.

    my understanding is that only guys that have been on an NBA roster this season are eligible...

    Jr Smith wasn’t on an nba roster this season. He was eligible as a substitute player. Moute should be eligible barring health of course
