    But he isn't playoff-eligible so why bother?
    Isn't he? We signed Tracy McGrady at the end of the season 2013 and he was playoff eligible. Have the rules changed?

    The only question is will Poeltl freeze up again with another European center to compete with?
    What's the alternative? Playing great and getting benched by crater face?

    That's only for the waivers not for these signings from other leagues

    He wasn't on an NBA roster this year so still playoff eligible. NBA players had to be waived by March 1st to still be eligible for the playoffs.

    Good sign. Clearly when you start your only two centers, you need one on the bench that can actually play at NBA level.
    D-Mo can shoot, which adds a new dimension to the 'two towers' segment of the game. Curious to see if he actually plays.

    Plus, we need bodies to throw at Cousins in the first round....

    He got a raw deal in Houston. Hope he doesn’t steal Poeltl’s minutes, though.

    Montiejunas can shoot, but that doesn't mean he should. He's a god awful 3pt shooter.

    Can't wait to see him and Bertans on the floor together not rebound and hit an open 3.

    Then Manu must re-join the team for the stretch run!

    Just did, tbh. He's still better than Mills and Forbes.

    Why would he? He knows D-Mo is here for the playoffs only, and he is starting. He can actually learn a thing or two, Motejunas is not elite but he was a serviceable solid center for years.

    The alternatives, by the way, were Gortat (love his P+R but he is washed up and can't shoot) or Monroe (worse than '19 Pau).

    If we focus on the last 3 minutes of gametime in the clutch he is also better than DeRozan

    I'd trust Manu over anybody else on this roster in the last 3 minutes, especially a well-rested Manu, tbh. That would be so ing awesome if, on his jersey retirement night, he announces he'll come out of retirement for the stretch run. That's just wishful thinking, of course. If he was going to come back, it would've been just after the all star break to get into game shape and in a good rhythm/chemistry with the team.

    And he doesn't really bring any defensive impact to the table...

    Yeah but corpses of players put spectacular numbers in CBA. Brandon Paul, for example, rocked the chinese league this year, IIRC.

    I think this is just a scratch and sniff for next year. I doubt he plays outside of garbage minutes. Might be a Dante Cunningham replacement for next year.

    Manu at age 40 was hitting game winning 3's against Boston,and some other players at age 30 can't bring the ball down the court without fumbling it in the last minute,but that's not the point.

    Manu wouldn't want to "steal" minutes from players that went through camp and got the team in the playoffs.If for "basketball reasons" something is wrong,he ain't doing it.Unfortunately...
