Masai was here when Sonny was here, so there's a huge flaw in that theory

I read that is bennet was a piece going to inny they would flip him to philly. Id love to see him end up on the raps.
It's like seeing a beer mug that you like at a garage sale so you pick it up knowing full well your wife will make you chuck out one of your redundant mugs if you bring another one home.
You still buy the beer mug, because later you may decide to keep it and chuck one of the other mugs that you hardly ever use. However, you may end up deciding to chuck the mug you just bought....but that's a decision for a later date. Right now you're just happy you bought a beer mug that you like for dirt cheap.

If the cost to keep Hamilton is Hands then its would be better to keep Handsborough and if Toronto has to dump Fields then Hamilton isn't worth the first it would cost.

There is absolutely no reason to assume Hamilton will be given a spot, and was promised such when he signed. He's fully a fringe NBAer at this point, and those guys don't usually get lots of offers. Wouldn't be surprised if all he was getting was non-guaranteed training camp invites. After all, he's a wing with no skill that stands out in any way. Even his size is pretty average, and he's not a "wow" athlete or anything.

Also, playing on a bad team with more of a roster opening does not equal better situation. How many crappy players from Philly's roster last year are finding good jobs in the NBA?
Hamilton might prefer the tougher option, where he'll have a harder time cracking the rotation, but if he does he's a role player on a successful team, and probably sets himself up for actual offers to stay in the NBA as that will be appealing to NBA execs. More appealing than a guy who obviously has flaws in his game that he's not really working on as he jacks up shots on a terrible team.
*Just to add, I think Hamilton knows his ceiling is a role player, and is looking for the "right" situation. We still have no real SF behind Ross. Everyone is assuming JJ, but that's a guy who's bounced around a lot and has clashed with our coach before. If Hamilton can bring more consistency, coachability and a better outside shot, he could have a real chance at cracking the rotation.Last edited by white men can't jump; Fri Aug 15, 2014, 03:22 PM.

Using the beer mug analogy a free beer mug is worth whatever you need to discard to make space in your bag that's full.

I just don't know what you're getting at, other than making assumptions with no facts at all behind them. There's no reason to assume he has been promised a spot and another move needs to be made. No reason to assume that, if he does, the move would end up making his addition a net negative.
Teams frequently bring in extra bodies in training camp, and most of them end up getting cut and not making the team. The safest assumption is right now they wanted an extra body for training camp, with nothing beyond that certain in any sense.
I look at it at least as a training camp positive. We can now split the team into 2 fairly balanced 8-man rotations for scrimmages. His addition at the wing means we can shift Lou to PG just for scrimmages, and still have 3 wings on each squad. To me, this in itself is a good enough reason to give a guy an unguaranteed training camp invite.

I imagine whatever the case, the guaranteed portion will be small enough to keep us under the tax (we're still under it in terms of guaranteed money, right?).
