I think we can make the playoffs. Play-in at least. We did it 2 years ago and I think we can do it again. We are better than GS, LAL, PHX, SAC, UTA, POR, MEM. Can compete with LAC, DEN, DAL and MIN (Zion owns Minnesota). If we are healthy. Our bench upgraded, Jordan Poole is very underrated. Missi should grow compared to what we had last year in Theis. Bey is a good backup SF.

There is a 6 page thread of the actual signing that was mostly positive with decent discussion.

This thread, the backup secondary thread, is all people dumping on it. Very strange

My biggest problem with this signing is I know Willie will bench Missi and Karlo in favor of Looney, Queen will never see the floor unless it’s in the G-League, and Looney will get 28 minutes a night while Missi and Karlo get scraps.

Looney has never averaged more than 23 minutes a game. In fact, in his 10 year career, he's only had 2 seasons of more than 20 minutes a game.

He's going from Steve Kerr and the Dubs to Willie Green and the Pels. Prepare thy anus.

If we giving him 8, shoukd only be for one year. We straddled ourselves with a bad contract for two years now.
We haven't seen the structure. Hopefully the second year is a team option (doubtful). He has not made more than $8 million in his career.

Really?? LOL 2 years for 16 mil and the Clippers (who btw already have a center in Zubac) sign Lopez for 2 years 18 mil. You couldn't offer 2 mil more for a better player.
