I'm okay with the Hill signing. Him, Jamison, McBobs, and possible Sacre give enough capable bench bigs. Both jamison and hill rebound well, so that's good for a bench unit.
He's a bit overpaid ($2.5 mil should have been his salary) but in this NBA it's fine. And with only 2 years committed, even better.
Still need a backup wing that can shoot 3s and isn't tiny.
Also, I'd put money on McBobs being shipped out for something like a 2nd round pick at some point this season. His $3 mil salary is worth $6 mil and with jamison and Hill on board (and since Pau still plays backup C), he's the odd man out. I bet he still has value, so it wouldn't shock me to see him traded for nothing just to save money.

It was just bad, and his salt was oceanic. Yes, we know you hate the Lakers, and Giants, etc, the schtick is old.
He's 5'9, 180lb or something. He played great last season but him being massively undersized might hurt him eventually.
He was probably the best rookie in the second half of the season though.
I count Kemba's runs at the rim as turnovers.
Henderson is the only guy who can get to the rim other than MKG.
It's more likely you give someone else a 2nd round pick to take McRob for nothing/random euro guys rights who will never come over to America to save cash.

Unguardable.
Why didn't the Lakers sign Grant Hill?
He wanted to go to the superior LA franchise. /troll

Because we got Better Hill.

Probably because this is his last ever payday and he didn't want to settle for the minimum.

I guess this means it's time for Ainge to blow up the team.

Because the Clips offered him twice as much money. Plus, he doesn't shoot 3s.

What's funny is that he was in Wolves camp like 2 years ago and they cut him. And now he's about to get paid.
Oh, Timberwolves.
I never understood why people always use player heights w/o shoes when talking about them. An inch or two makes a pretty big difference and every player is at the very least an inch taller in shoes.

He's like the white Jeremy Lin. On the bright side, you didn't have to sign him to a massive poison pill offer sheet.

So what are the Timberwolves at now? 8 white guys?

Something like that. But half of them are European. I don't know if that really counts.

Elbowed another player?

Assuming Hummel doesn't make the team, yes
.
I hope somebody eventually takes him the fuck out. This league doesn't need two Andrew Bumnums.

At least Bynum can play, Pittman is just a straight up goon. He should go play ice soccer.

Klay is giving me some Matt Saracen vibes from the way he speaks.
You leave our hired thug alone. He can't eat all his junk food anymore, so he's just taking his frustration out on the other scrubs. Scrub on scrub violence is not a crime. PEACE.

allow me to translate:
Isaiah Thomas (sometimes called Zeke, which is a popular nickname for Isaiah) is a person (of color) who I indeed like..
