We have 1 pg and he's spent most of his time in the D-league. Even if Lance does make the team I imagine with Gentry croaks or kills him by mid season. The only way Lance plays well is if you let Lance be Lance but Gentry is all about his system and ball movement which is not his game.

not a bad move.

we have 15 guaranteed contracts, can we just cut somebody?

or does an guaranteed contract count as a roster spot?

They have to eat the contract and it still counts against the cap. Guaranteed

Benson does love to spend money.

They aren't close to the tax like they were last year and Gee is making close to minimum money.

Still have to buy them out. Can you even buy out before December 15?

Unless the NBA grants a roster exemption for Jrue's situation.

It's about time we had a player on this roster that was born ready.

I don't understand how he makes the team.

There will be an exception for Jrue missing time. The commish Silver is not a major POS and will respect the Pels hardship in Jrue's absence. A la an injury exception.

They have guaranteed contracts. We have 15 contracts. So unless a trade is coming he literally cannot make the team.

See above. Room will be made for Stephenson. Nobody's getting cut, just funds shifted around.

I agree I think the NBA is going to do something like that. They seem to like New Orleans

Not true. Some Pels insider said the Pels were doing favors for agents while manipulating other teams into thinking they et a player that is fielding interest from multiple teams.

I actually really like this signing. I think the roster has added several high ceiling guys without spending much on this potential. I like the odds of one of Diallo , Jones or Stephenson making an impact. Hopefully more than one, as I expect it later on for Diallo

Yep...need guys who can handle the rock with Jrue out...so it makes sense that they'd roll the dice...
