it sucks when you start to get good because then you lose all the shitty players you got accustomed to sucking night after night and having that one good 12 point game.

Figured that was coming. We're building a roster with actual NBA players instead of 4-5 D-league caliber players.

Making room for Stiemsma?

The roster is crowded but it could just be a cap move. He's only making minimum wage so we can cut him now, sign a guy to our cap space, and then resign Thomas using a minimum exception.

I'd have to assume it's to free up space to make another move. Otherwise, why do it before summer league?

If this is a final cut for Thomas then they'll do it as early as possible so he can try and get on with another team. Monty and Demps go out of their way to help the scrub players that they used to be.

I think Lance is a great practice player to keep on the roster so I hope it's just a money move, especially after reading his tweets from yesterday:

It's a talent move.

You can have 15 players on the roster and a guy that hustles 100% of the time is exactly the kind of player you want pushing your talent in practice.
