I was interested in Schroder until I looked at this stats today and he hasn't shot the 3 well for 2 years.
Shoeder might be about done but I'd be very interested in free agent Dean Wade as a backup forward who can really shoot.
Yeah I wonder what his market will be and what kind of opportunity he would receive or want. He likely isn't starting here.

Or Hartenstein is let go for cap reasons...
Interesting. Wolves trade Rudy for White and use their trade exception in a sign-and-trade for Hartenstein.
Jaylin Williams is possibly available now as well if you are interested in a stretch big.

The strong get stronger. It’s so frustrating to see the teams we are chasing have multiple high first round picks while we try to get their level with a bare draft cupboard, feeding on scraps.
Or maybe the rookie flames out and the known quantity veteran has to be a cap cut and thrives in a new spot? Not every sure fire lottery pick pays off. I like the idea of Hartenstien being motivated to beat the Thunder while starting for the Wolves!

Yep he is. Looks like he has a pretty solid list of clients already.

Remember anu number of years ago when Utah had a huge collection of bigs? They didn't stop drafting them. If I remember right the lowest drafted guy will be a HOF.

Well I guess the deal to move up for Philon isn’t with the Hornets. :)

Is Steinbach a good fit next to Rudy and the rest of the Hornets guys?

After Charlotte takes Steinbach, we have 4 straight teams making their 2nd pick of the night. Hmmm....

The Bulls were projected to take Steinbach at #15. What will they do now that he’s off the board? The smart move for the Bulls is to draft Philon and deal him to the Wolves for Rudy. :)
