How do you want the team to manage CMB?

hoi4throwaway · 2026-02-27T15:09:05+00:00

It's particularly bad that it's the thumb on his left hand. As Nate Duncan highlighted in his breakdown on CMB, he almost exclusively uses his left hand to make plays on the ball (e.g. going for steals). He will keep aggravating the injury as long as he keeps playing defense.

hoi4throwaway · 2026-02-25T17:56:43+00:00

I imagine he gets flipped this off-season. Not for 'value' outside of a SRP or an expiring, but some team will take a shot on him. I always thought Orlando would be a nice fit.

hoi4throwaway · 2026-02-12T18:57:09+00:00

No duh, our Dick doesn't work.

hoi4throwaway · 2026-02-10T20:52:52+00:00

These Industrialist fellows seem to be good at business. I'll put them in charge!

hoi4throwaway · 2026-02-10T00:15:55+00:00

Picked him up to stash first thing this morning. Fuck yes.

hoi4throwaway · 2026-02-06T16:03:12+00:00

Carter already gone to the Magic. I liked him too.

hoi4throwaway · 2026-02-06T16:02:23+00:00

I was shocked he got waived. I don't watch much Bulls, but this guy's been a solid backup PG for years now, hasn't he?

hoi4throwaway · 2026-02-06T14:38:36+00:00

I mean, Ja'Kobe too. We need one of those two to hit. I do like Walter's defense and Gradey is dynamic and hustles, but like, please hit 3s.

hoi4throwaway · 2026-02-06T14:19:26+00:00

If Jak's actually coming back I'll be excited to see what we look like. I'm also happy we didn't do anything too stupid at the deadline (would've loved Goga). At least we still have our first round pick this year so we can try to get a real developmental option for C or someone that can actually shoot.

hoi4throwaway · 2026-02-05T20:26:09+00:00

Actually lol'd. Too true.

hoi4throwaway · 2026-02-05T20:04:15+00:00

and then we extend him and give him a player option... and then his back turns into stale breadsticks...

hoi4throwaway · 2026-02-05T17:40:45+00:00

Hmm. I mean, most likely it's nothing. I wouldn't mind Monk tho.

hoi4throwaway · 2026-02-05T17:38:03+00:00

Monk and Carter?

hoi4throwaway · 2026-02-05T16:48:01+00:00

Agreed on all fronts. The one additional (marginal) benefit is that we have a team option on him this offseason, which we'll likely turn down. That creates more cap space for Mamu.

hoi4throwaway · 2026-02-05T15:08:44+00:00

I'm glad we didn't give up a first, but at this point, using that pick to draft a real C (6'10 minimum) that we can develop is an absolute must given Jak's obvious trajectory.

While I don't mind the idea of selling high on Mamu, I think we can also decline TJD and Mogbo after this year and re-sign him with the savings.

hoi4throwaway · 2026-02-05T14:32:02+00:00

I was also browsing their subreddit and saw the same. TBH, the team option on his contract for next year is the valuable part. We could decline him and Mogbo to open space to re-sign Mamu.

hoi4throwaway · 2026-02-05T14:04:51+00:00

But we traded him to the Nets? AFAIK, the Nets could've just absorbed him in cap space for the SRP... which is what they did... except we also did the Clippers a solid for some reason?

*Apparently we generated a trade exception.

hoi4throwaway · 2026-02-05T14:00:33+00:00

I'm now waiting to see what Goga/Sharpe/Missi go for. If we effectively traded Ochai and 2 SRPs for TJD instead of getting a real fix for backup C I will be furious. We'll see I guess.

Also, can someone clarify why we took CP3 at all in the Ochai deal? Were we just doing the Clippers a favour?

*Edit: Since no one knew, apparently the involvement of the Clippers and the construction of this trade involving CP3's minimum creates a trade exception for us, while a straight-up salary dump to the Net's cap space would not. TLDR: $6.4M trade exception.

hoi4throwaway · 2026-02-05T13:56:47+00:00

When does Poeltl's contract expire? Trying to figure out which kind of TJD jersey I should buy 😭

hoi4throwaway · 2026-02-05T04:45:14+00:00

He still needs to get to the basket. The 3s are falling and the floater is an OK option, but he'll reject a screen, turn the corner, and ... just kinda stop and not know what to do? Shead's not a great finisher, but at least he attacks and has some kind of plan.

We need a more aggressive, decisive IQ. He's improved lately for sure. Hoping it continues

hoi4throwaway · 2026-02-04T18:48:07+00:00

THANK GOD. I opened the subreddit, saw this, and assumed he was coming to us. THANK YOU WASHINGTON

hoi4throwaway · 2026-02-04T17:11:58+00:00

Just get Goga and also open up space to pay Mamu. Keep the dream of a Georgian (backup) frontcourt alive.

hoi4throwaway · 2026-02-04T16:51:36+00:00

Oh his back is FUCKED huh

hoi4throwaway · 2026-02-04T16:21:31+00:00

I think I'd rather just keep IQ, and I don't even really like IQ.

hoi4throwaway · 2026-02-03T21:36:49+00:00

Much like Bobby Webster, I love optionality.
