he could jump over a post card....like I said earlier...he'll have to learn the ZBo Al Jefferson game ….my opinion is not optimistic about this 3rd straight setback.....reeks of Festus Ezeli

But my point is he doesn't have to learn it because he already plays that type of game. He will never get the big bucks at this point but he will still be a good outside shooter and passer. He just might not be able to run the floor as well as he has in the past, but I would not be worried about his offense. If he can stay healthy and play average D then I would consider him for the minimum....next year

This injury, while a setback doesn't produce any further questions.

On it's own I agree...but he's had 3 in a row...major issues...that's sort of unheard of other than Oden.Ezeli.....Steve Kerr said it could take 2 or 3 years for him to get back to the game

After one pick up game did him in this offseason? Not me.

Just because we're not using that roster spot now doesn't mean there isn't a plan for it.

I think Olshey is keeping it open because it allows him to be flexible once the season starts. We could end up needing a backup PG, wing depth, or an extra big. Keeping that spot open allows us to fill the gaps easier.

Worst case scenario an open roster spot can lead to signing a player off the buyout market. I know we can make other moves too but being deep in the tax makes it pretty costly to make minor transactions.

The last sentence is probably why they’ll leave the spot open, unless there’s another injury, or an impact player hits the market. But two way contracts are a way to fill out the depth chart as well, so maybe the only scenario is B.
 
The opportunity cost is so extremely low thay its non-existant.

They might be keeping the roster spot open for Hoard if a trade deadline deal doesn't pan out....the kid has game and is on a friendly deal. We added Wade Baldwin that way.

I dont see why keeping Hoard on a two-way verse bringing him up matters that much. We could sign him in the off-season.

These two players have entirely different skillsets. And the first player made a jump from year 2 --> 3 that is not really a realistic projection for any player. There is a reason he won "most improved player". I struggle to see the point of this comparison.

Its not as unrealistic of a jump as you think.

My view is he's on his trial run...by the break they'll have a feel for what he will be or not....Wade Baldwin situation. I think he'll get a shot....unless there's an impact player at the deadline like KLove in a trade scenario. The end of our bench has a lot of untapped talent. The league is getting younger. Hoard, Skal, Trent Jr. and Tolliver have not gotten much attention ..I'm interested to see how they pan out in training camp
 
A is Labissiere
B is Collins

Exactly! He's just pissed it's ruining his summer highlight tape. Looks like he cares more about showing off than actually acquiring skills that help his team win.

I've said it before, I'm not a big booker fan. His game annoys the heck out of me, obviously he's talented especially with scoring, but watching him he's like a way more annoying version of CJ (he might be a better more efficient scorer than CJ), but you can tell CJ does at least try to make "winning" plays. Doesn't seem like Booker ever does.
