Good pick up he can spell Allen and maybe let Allen play some power while mobley rest when was last time nance played full season and maybe this will let dean wade play his natural position I’m not trading wade
A good pickup for toughness
A big win. How does a player of that caliber just fall in our laps. Naequan may still come out of hiding just to offer more reps for Bryant in practice. We'll find out if they can survive without Darius and he could be the link to keeping Allan who sorely needs a valid substitute.
Mikey, your work ethic. It's impeccable. Big respect man 💯
Jaylon Tyson and Nae'Qwan Tomlin could both fill in at the back-up wing spot behind Hunter. Wheh Strus returns, he might only be needed for playoff depth (in case Hunter goes down).
