Expect more games like the Boston-Milwaukee debacle

[ShelC]

Think this flew under the radar yesterday...might be something to watch if Gallo or Muscala get waived/bought out. Not super crazy about either but Gallo would give us some experienced depth and shooting at the 4 spot.

[Mori Chu]

I'd be interested in Gallo if he became available. Has he been able to stay healthy and on the court?

[ShelC]

He's always got some kind of injury going on. Tore his ACL last year at the beginning of the year but played 26 games for the Wiz.

[Split T]

I feel like Monty will want to keep them around for veteran presence…floor spacing around their young guys too. We’ll see what happens

[TOO]

Gallo is washed. Doesn't help the Suns.

[Superbone]

One thing so far about Wemby, he hasn't shown injury issues thus far.

[Shabazz]

I wouldn’t mind Muscala. He’s a decent stretch big.

[Superbone]

I use to clamor for this guy. Sheesh.

[Superbone]

[Flagrant Fowl]

Julius Randle is starting in the front court with Deandre Ayton on the basketball bi-polar All-Stars.

Julius Randle is starting in the front court with Deandre Ayton on the basketball bi-polar All-Stars.

Just add draymond to them and throw them in the big 3.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Draymond has a different type of disorder.

[Wally_West]

With the warriors imploding, any interest in using one of our trade exceptions for Dario?

[Split T]

I’d take him

[Mori Chu]

I like Dario, but is he really worth spending the exception on? Does Dario give us much that we don't already get from our existing backup bigs like Metu? Maybe we can just wait out the Warriors and they'll waive him and we could pick him up cheaper.

[Split T]

He’s on a minimum I believe…wouldn’t need to use the exception…

[Superbone]

Dario has looked really good when I've seen him. I could see him being a better backup to Nurk.

[Split T]

Dario can make shots if you leave him and he plays the connector role well. We don’t really have anyone that does that when Nurk is out.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Twice the fine levied on Rajakovic.
