That's our backup C right there. Better put your goggles on, it's about to get blustery.

I have no clue why you do that. None.

First, Bud, you can't really regard Lamar as a PG. The experiment was done, but he's just not able to stay in front of opposing PGs, That's just a fact. And that's kinda important, surely you agree.

Moreover, signing Kelly tells us that you regard Ily as an option at 5.... I hope your wisdom is again proven right and mine wrong, but that just doesn't seem to bode well for your starting C's minutes.

I'm one of your greatest supporters, believe me... just look up and down this board.... I take great joy in being the Anti-Cynic. But I can't subscribe to either of these decisions. I also can't claim to know exactly what your options appear to be, but dang, you can only play 13 in a night anyway... it's not like Patt and Kelly won't be there in a few days if nothing shakes free.

My only peace in this is in the knowledge that you can always release one or both of these guys if something else develops. I at least can breathe as a result. At least.

Well, that, and the knowledge that the most consequential thing that can happen between now and the end of the season is that your two first-round rooks, especially Prince, are in the rotation and getting significant playing time every night.

See, here's what you get and what I get, and what most people know even though they don't ordinarily stop to think of it...

Stephen Curry went years... literally years... before he developed into what he is today. And while many thought he was good, only a very few predicted this kind of stardom.

Yes, I can breathe.

Actually  the Hawks are sending the cash.

As a fellow anti-cynic, my sentiments exactly. All of them.

Do the Raptors own the rights

to Tavares? I would have rather had him back as a true center over another stretch 4.

[Plastic Man]

Is someone now getting waived to $ign this "3rd PG"?

No, any team can sign Edy from the DL to an NBA contract.

Attempting balance, in the big scheme of things, they're not actually having to pay these guys that much, and so if some opportunity arises for a better talent, that will still happen.

My hope is that Bud just needed practice bodies and since he'd already exhausted his two 10-days to each player had to "sign" them through the rest of the season as per league rules....not because he wants to go to war with these guys.

We have witnessed after the first ten games or so of this season that Moose doesn't belong at the C position period but now thats probably where he will play solely. Not too promising behind Dwight at the moment especially with the disdain for Kris that Bud has. Kelly being signed just confirms Bud's thoughts about Moose being good enough in the post. 

[sturt]

Probably more potential buyouts at C than anywhere else, fwiw... some large bullets to bite in LAL, PHX, and NOP if it comes down to that.

Geez can we get some actual NBA players in here.   Ones that can shoot!   So Kelly is better than Scott now?   And what does Patterson bring to the team?   This is the most random collection of misfits and cast offs yet.
