Sounds like it's gonna be Bassey next and we'll call it an off-season.

[Degoat]

Good stuff, I haven’t always been the biggest fan of Mamu but can’t deny his on court chemistry with guys.

so this leaves close to 5 million left with the room exception correct?

[Dejounte]

The type of player that could step in as a starter and we won’t skip a beat, IMO

my understanding is this is the vet min for him, so we still have the full room exception

[LeBowen]

Better than Jeremy, tbh.

[r0drig0lac]

power shift!!!

[Mugen]

There it is. I really hope he gets a real opportunity this season. He was criminally underused last year by the old man tbh.

[objective]

Good for him, too bad his defense is so weak.

[BatManu20]

[TD 21]

He'll probably receive greater opportunity in a literal sense (because I suspect winning will take precedent over development this season), but he's still likely to be the fifth forward.

They desperately need the 3-point shooting that Champagnie might be able to provide, so he'll likely be given the first opportunity.

[timvp]

Good stuff. I liked him best of the unsigned free agents. It seems like Pop has given up on the idea of Mamu playing center though so that probably leaves room for Barlow or Bassey -- assuming Ingram signs a two-way.

Nah, his defense held him back

[Degoat]

Barlow has shown more than Bassey thus far, but feels like Barlow might be looking for opportunities outside the NBA potentially? I was fan of bassey but the kid has had to many injuries, his knees are DONE.

[Chinook]

There are potential minutes behind Sochan if the Spurs play Champ at the two. However, it seems clear from this contract that Mamu isn't guaranteed to get minutes. He's even quite cuttable. That the Spurs seem interested in keeping their RE open is interesting. Unlike previous CBAs, teams can't really carry MLEs far into a season.

[BatManu20]

Bassey back too.

[John B]

Wemby likes playing with Mamu so I kinda expected. Still a pleasant news.

[cutewizard]

Love it

Castle and to a lesser extent Branham will eat the backup two minutes.

[tonight...you]

I like his ink work.

[CGD]

Looks like:

Paul/Tre/Blake
Dev/Castle/Malaki
Barnes/Champ/Sidy
Sochan/Keldon/Mamu
Wemby/Zollins/Bassey

Pretty good balance

[Uriel]

So Osman, Duke, and Barlow are gone?

[TekXX]

Let's start Mamu and win some games!

So you can't keep it and use it later in the season on potential buyouts?
