yeah he was shell of himself

I'm gonna say this again, we need another big. Boucher is NOT a rotation player.

[HogieTime]

Been pretty quiet on the buyout market. Only Williams and mkg have been bought out and signed haven't they? Today last year we signed Lin.

We can only hope that Tristian Thompson gets buyout..raps go hard 2 get him..

Couple weeks to go yet before teams need to waive players.

I think clips will be T.T first choice if he gets bought out

What's the history of waived/bought out players being in playoff rotations? I get the injury insurance angle, but these guys don't seem to be the type of players that will slide right into the top 8 of a playoff team. If they were they'd be traded. I feel they typically either work their way up to a rotation spot on rebuilding teams as vets on the following regular season, or end up in China/Europe.

Tristan Thompson I don't think wants to come to RAPS. He only plays Center. He will be behind Marc and Serge. Will only play if one of them is hurt. Why would he come to situation where he won't play ?

To win a championship.
At home.
And with that in his back pocket get paid one more deal before he can't command that kind of salary.

If TT gets bought out, and he does come here, I think we will see more big lineups used.

Today's hot take:
Unless the Raps reach the finals again this year, Masai won't bring back both Marc and Serge.
Hard call, does prudence overtake sentimentality.

That's not a hot take at all. Both Marc & Serge are aging vets with big, expiring contracts. Unless you're in repeat territory, chances are at least one of them will either move on or re-sign on smaller deals

This will be an interesting development over the summer. There is no doubt in my mind that Ibaka will be looking for a long-term deal and given how he is playing he will likely find one on the market, so it's largely a question of whether Raps want him back at that price.

Gasol is an enigma. He's 35 but does he want to play 3 more years or 1? Where does he want to play?
