Ehh. If he played so well for them, why did they waive him.

Because they signed cp3

I understand Marcus Smart will sign with the Lakers, while Chris Paul is rumored to be going to the Clippers.

Yes correct. I got that backwards.

Yes correct. I got that backwards.

They are both LA teams, not much difference.

Great to see Josh Okogie find a home. He will sign with the Rockets.

All the major RFAs left (Giddey, Kuminga, Thomas, to a lesser extent, Grimes) are in a tough spot. There's not much cap space left for them out there so they're at the mercy of their own teams.

They also are each hugely flawed in different ways.

I wouldn’t want to commit to any of them with big resources.

TyTy Washington Jr. agrees to a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Clippers. I liked his game.

IMO, he has a chance to be a rotation point guard.

Hope he develops even though its on the Lakers.

Clippers not Lakers. Much more tolerable.

This is how teams play RFA. I would take Giddey if the price was right. There is a little of Luka light in him. At least flashes.

Whew! I was regretting it as soon as I wrote it.

The Pelicans selected FC Asa Newell at #23. He was traded to the Hawks.

FC Danny wolf was selected at #27. He was highly thought of by some, especially because of his ball handling skills.

I'd rather take the shot at Maluach at 10. Now had it been two unprotected picks from bottom feeder teams, that may have been enticing.

Watched Luka playing Poland in Europe. He looked good and dropped weight. He still plays little defense but will be very good this year. Hope Ayton pulls some BS with him

Agreed. The old saying is "a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush."
