At least he is willing and fairly capable of shooting the 3-ball.
Bring him back into the organization? The Sixers fan on RealGM thought he and Green had the same value last summer.
At least he is willing and fairly capable of shooting the 3-ball.
I'd be cool with bringing him on for a couple 10-days. He's a poor man's LDN, but is also 2-3 inches taller.
He's a shooter, Pop always has space for those... though I can't say I watched him.
Watch him gets picked up by Rockets/GSW ..Let's hope he stays East, at least..Bulls/Pistons/Cavs could all have plenty of PT for him..
Considering he's waived and his contract was unguaranteed... he definitely needs to go to a situation where he'll play and earn himself another deal.
Too bad Philly is not finding trade partners.. wow![]()
Somebody please explain to me why a team waives a player who has averaged 24 mpg for his short career and 18 mpg this season.
Yeah, JR.Smith is out until late March..he could best rebuild his value by feeding off Lebron/Love passes all day..
I am not up to speed on things outside the Spurs in general... and even less on Philly... but "the process"...
They need that roster spot for whatever part of the process they are at:
http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/s...-Thompson.htmlThe 25-year-old and Nerlens Noel are the longest-tenured Sixers. Thompson signed with the team as a free agent before the 2013-14 season.
This move was about roster flexibility. The Sixers will soon be in the market for a point guard. It also enabled them to evaluate rookie guard Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot more.
They are basically playing Noel 8 minutes or that was the last I saw of him complaining about him needing to play more. They just haven't found trade partners for these guys. What a wasteful part of the process!
They probably shopped him for a 2nd, couldn't get it, then decided they'd do right by him, since he's clearly not in their plans and they want to evaluate younger players.
Though limited, someone who's consistently shot as well as he has from 3, on a team with nothing resembling an offensive focal point until this season, is definitely worth a look.
He probably doesn't make it to the Spurs on the waiver wire, but if he does, it would be a no brainer. They need a viable fifth wing, in case of injury or Simmons looking in over his head in the playoffs.
Sign me up for Hollis. Waive Kyle.
Yeah, I prefectly understand Noel's situation, but it isn't like the Sixers have a plethora of wings or outside shooters. So I find this move a bit of a head scratcher.
Won't happen but, damn, do I hope it does.
I saw that too. That mod is annoying as . Don't even know how you can keep your cool with that dumb .
Yeah me too but from what I read they want to give time to some rookie guard and want the spot to find a PG. They have guys coming back from injury as well (Henderson) and Hollis wasn't going to play...
What TD21 stated is likely, the guy didn't figure in their plans and wasn't going to play... Basically he helped in the tank and now he's done. They could not even get a 2nd round pick... Philly has put itself in a tough spot.
Hollis wouldn't clear waiver right?
OKC has first dibs & they would be dumb not to pick him up considering their backup wings are trash.![]()
Teams need cap space or TEs to claim him
True, watching Roberson taking jump shot from beyond 20 feet can make your eyes sore, tbh. That guy doesn't even have a decent dribbling skill, a non 3 pt shooting version of Verde, basically.
Singler is worse, he can't do anything on BOTH ends of the floor.![]()
Need to fill 1 white USA player per team quota of course.![]()

Another proven NBA vet who I'm told is nearing a return to the league and will soon be engaging with interested teams: Carl Landry
Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine 6h6 hours ago With Mario Chalmers also hopeful of making a return to the court in 2017 ... veteran point guard market has the potential to get interesting

Just great.![]()
perfect fit..Cavs when healthy are favorite against Golden State, IMO..
