I can't wait! Have already told my crew that I will be unavailable after 3:00 tomorrow... unless it's an emergency. If that is the case they had better have already called 911!!!

If Badji pops I will have to present a mia culpa to this forum and fellow fans for my 28 win prognostication.

What’s Badji’s contract status with us? Is he on the team or is this an SL contract only?

 

[Mote]

Could be wrong and don't want to look it up, but I believe it is a 2 way.

I’ll take that; I didn’t want to bother looking it up either lol

 

[Mote]

Had to look it up... yep a 2 way contract.

You’ll have to excuse Nate, he’s new here and doesn’t know the guidelines.

I’m most excited to see Badji. They didn’t cut him despite the injury, so that’s something.

Scoot could be a premiere PG in the league soon. Sharpe has the physical attributes of an elite SG but theoretically could start at SF later in his career.

The third step in taking a huge leap is finding a long-term solution at C. Next summer: Aaron Bradshaw, Donovan Clingan, Kyle Filipowski, Alexandre Sarr, Aday Mara—whole bunch of guys to look at in the draft. Badji is another option if he ever stays on the team long enough to develop. There are presently no Cs outside of Jokic I would want long term. So I hope they prioritize this soon.

It hurts that we could’ve had Duren last year if we wanted him, and that we would’ve never been able to move up to get Lively.

Just signed a new 2-way yesterday as did Butler. With the new CBA, they have a 3rd 2-way which seems very likely they will use.

I'm embarrassed, but I didn't know Kris Murray was a lefty.

I'm just excited to see them play. I don't expect a high level of play, I just want to see how they play together.

I love older players. More mature, look forward to seeing him out there. I don't know anything about this guy, does he handle the ball well?

From what I have seen he is solid at everything, just not necessarily great at anything. That is true of his handles as well.

He's a total player..got a complete game. you're going to love him. Total steal from the draft. Unselfish two way player with a really sharp feel for the game.

yeah I can't see him standing out in summer league. He is more of a glue guy who will make others better.

Game is at 1 am over here. I desperately need some positivism regarding this team. Told my girlfriend already I will be up late tonight
