Brown isn't likely to make the roster, and I'll take Miller, Tyus and Zach over the castoffs. But there are likely to be some good players that aren't going to make the cut who are a lot better than Damjan Rudez. I hope Milt is watching this closely. Maybe that big, banging center that some want to trade Gorgui for might be out there as a free agent after cuts are finalized. I'll take him over Rudez.

And how does that move the meter?
Haven't you heard? This team is apparently one Jeff Adrian or Luc Mbah a Moute away from being a perennial, championship powerhouse. It's the final piece. Who knew.

Lol, I don't know if it moves the meter much if at all, but I just want Milt to give Sam the 15 players that give us the best chance of winning. And with Pek out the first month, I think a physical center is likely more valuable than Rudez. Last night firmed up my opinion as I watched Rudez showing nothing and KAT/Gorgui getting pushed around by Monroe.

I was just poking ya LST. I actually totally agree. I know others are very concerned we don't have a beefy, defensive center type. I'd be totally fine adding such type to the end of our bench instead of Rudez or Brown. There is not need to trade for one. I think such players can be had for nothing. But I do agree with Cool too that at the end of the day, this team has much bigger problems (or so it seems based on how the preseason has gone).

I think that's the most likely outcome. But on the other hand, Glen is only on the hook for $1.1 million for Rudez's contract, and he has already saved several million by flipping Bud for Rudez. So I don't think they would pass on someone who could really help the team just because Glen would have to eat the $1 million, since he's already playing with house money in shedding Bud's contract.

I don't see any situation where Sam would opt to play an Adrien type of player over Towns and Dieng even if they are getting pushed around. That's such a short-term type of move that you would really only see in a playoff series when every game matters. In the regular season you just let them play it out and learn from it.

Guaranteed contracts doesn't give a player complete protection from getting cut/moved. Just ask JJ Barea last year or Anthony Bennett this year. If they determine they don't want you on the team, they'll buy you out. It wouldn't be my first choice. But it's not like it can never happen.
If all this team in the future needs is a Jeff Adrian Reggie Evans type super duper you an get those guys anytime you want because they lack upside etc. if we don't have one this year that's fine. I highly doubt we dump Rudez at this point. I don't know what game LST has been watching but it's pretty obvious that Rudez has played plenty well he isn't going anywhere unless some team wants to trade for him.
