Yay!! 🙂
This was an easy call. Probably the “toughest call” would have been Tyler Zeller.
At just $1.7M he’s a bargain for a backup big man and we both know you can never have enough depth. Which brings me to Taylor and Sims. I wish the Cavaliers had room for them because I like both. Perhaps they’ll sign on for the D-League.
Yeah…but if you had to rate which was the easiest to keep, you’d almost certainly have them in this order:
Kyrie, Thompson, Dion, Zeller. That’s why “toughest call” was put in qoutations like it was.
Sims will almost assuredly make our roster (and spend a lot of time in the D-league) this year. I think that Taylor (unless he is signed elsewhere) also gets some good burn with Canton.
Little talk of the exhibition last night I guess. The Jack-Irving pairing looked good to me. I think they’ll score a lot of points. Give up a lot too. Irving had serious issues with Beal.
