Ya I liked both guys before the draft. Gp2 hasn't improved though so..
Cranjis is providing good info and video on his twitter .. Trey Burke is tearing up the dleague and we need shooting, should have signed him. Gp2 hasn't been good |

They should have seriously signed Machodo if they needed back court depth, not GP 2. He was playing for the GSW GLeague team so his addition would have been seamless.
Heck even Trey Burk was available till NYK picked him up.
not totally excited about this signing, but I’ll wait to see him play before I judge him. |

| Lonzo will look efficient next to this guy. Why does the league like to recycle so much? We need shooters. I rather get an unknown shooter from Europe. |

Are there any that would leave money from Europe to get a lower salary 2 way contract? |

Not really fussed about this. It's a two way deal not an actual nba contract.
He replaces Vander Blue and plays for our G league team. If he improves his shooting he might be an asset for our actual team and we get first dips if not then we cut him.
He doesn't take up a roster space for the team.
Now about that trade for PG13, that I care about. |

Good point. But dang, no shooters in the development league? |

Are we solidifying an all 2nd gen line up in the hopes of getting Steph and Klay?
GP2
Steph
Klay
Nance Jr.
Bol Bol
but seriously, looking at his stats, his name is the only thing interesting. We need shooters!

Couldn’t really be any worse than Tyler Ennis, can he? I can’t even for the life of me think why Ennis was drafter so high  |

| I don’t get the signing. Can’t run an offense and isn’t a good shooter. Trey Burke has been available for past couple of months. What has Magic been doing? |

You know when you inexplicably want a player on your team despite there being no real evidence of them actually being any good? Well in the 2016 draft there were three for me. Gary Payton II, Diamond Stone and Wade Baldwin IV.
Ironically they all basically had the same end result in the league. |

So you're saying you're ready to take Jesse & Ryan's jobs in the scouting department huh? 😜 Just Kidding. Thanks for admitting. While you're at it, can your brighten our Monday with some more swings and misses? Like, I personally thought Jordan Bell would be great at #27. Little did I know there was Baby Melo hiding in the draft somewhere. |

I was thinking the same thing (e.g. maybe a favor). Checked and doesn't seem likely though. Agent is Aaron Goodwin, who reps Lillard, Derozan, and IT. I sure as hell hope we aren't making a play for IT. |
