Can't be mad at this at all. One of the best values in the league.

Very solid deal ... vet to step in and let Collins learned ... I guess that is it for Green which is disappointing 

[JTB]

Great deal! Warming up to Slinky a little bit but I need to see more.

[hazer]

I was quietly hoping we'd re-sign him. If for nothing other than being able to continue typing Ilyasovavichkovchev a couple of times a week.

The guy gives us some of everything not least of which is a three point game. Actually played two positions for us at times. Nice signing and a good presence for Collins as well.

[NBASupes]

Killasova back, from 12 wins to 18 wins. We slowly putting a less then WOAT squad on the court. 

[DBac]

Love that contract.They can ease Collins into the rotation if need be. Then that'll be a pretty valuable commodity at the tradeline, at which they can let Collins get more time.

[gurpilo]

Nah, don't like him, I was expecting a young player...

We still need another shooter, I mean we got no shooting. Could you imagine if we played Golden State? KD, Steph and Klay just raining threes on us, while Dennis keeps going to the basket getting his shot blocked, Prince missing jumpers, Baze missing wide open threes, Baze and Bembry trying to play point-forward turning the ball over. We could lose by 50.

Baze will be much better this year. Dude can't operate with no space on the floor. We needed a 3pt specialist, with Dwight, but now he will actually have room to cut.

I liked the regular season version of Ersan, so I don't mind the signing.

But if Bud uses this to bring Collins off the bench, and justifies starting Ersan because he can draw a charge, I won't like this at all.

Collins needs to start from Day 1.  Let him play with the best players on the team, instead of trying to be a scorer with the 2nd unit.  High draft picks back in the day used to start from Day 1 all the time, and they became star players because of it.

[Plainview1981]

This was what I expected before the Hawks renounced the rights to him or whatever.

Ersan is the typical starter for a team that is just now rebuilding because he will be productive without adding a lot to the win total. I jusr hope that Bud doesn't play him 35 MPG to keep from playing Collins.

Kobe Bryant, Kawhi Leonard, Jimmy Butler, Paul George, and James Harden all began their careers on the bench. It's not the end of the world if he isn't starting the first half of the season.

I'm not sure if you've noticed, but GS is one of the best basketball teams of all time. 

And, we are going through a retooling process here.

We can concede that a playoff appearance next season isn't garunteed so...

Breaking down a matchup with GS or any of the handful of title favorites is a little unnecessary at this point considering the obvious gap in where the franchises are headed. They're obviously far superior to us.

Ehhh, idk about ole Kent-a-roo

His value is in him shooting a high % from three next year.  If he can't do that for us then he truly only has marginal skills otherwise. He proved last year that his greatest asset (hustle) leads to a lot of mistakes and turnovers.

Baze was the best for this franchise when he was an energy guy that only had to make the open 3 or pump fake and slash for the dunk on offense.

if we are relying on him for anything more on offense both he and the team will be in big trouble.

Good signing, I was disappointed when we renounced him. I can shoot with him well in 2k too so there's that extra bonus. I may have to get a green release every time to hit a jump shot with anyone outside of Belli and Ersan on 2k18. I can splash with Baze too but I'm expecting that to get patched.

Same here. I want Collins to start and get all the minutes he can handle.
