Shake spent 38 games with Minny and 4 with the Pistons.

Wouldn't it make more sense to say we're adding talent from a 41 win squad?

Killian Hayes still out there. Sign him too.

I get him confused with De'Anthony Melton.

The 76ers having both of them at one point was very confusing.

Deuce should still be ahead of Burks/Shake but you never know what Thibs will do

Insert Thibs maniacal laugh .gif.

All itā€™ll take is one halfway solid game from a 27 year old to replace Deuce in the rotation. Or one minor Deuce mistake, whichever comes first.

Maybe because they both gave us fits in the past. A quality pickup... even more so off of waivers.

It's absolutely a solid pickup.

I think there were cap considerations and they wouldn't pick up anyone, but in Aller We Trust

The FO can say all they want about bodies but I think this speaks volumes about AB and even the trajectory of Burks career.

Heā€™s gone from 29min to 22min to 20min over the past three seasons (steady decline). The last 5 games heā€™s been averaging only 14min.

I know thereā€™s a lot of conspiracy theorists out there but the numbers arenā€™t lying. Heā€™s rapidly got less and less playing time every year and his role - even with all our injuries has been minuscule. Even if you look at McBrides last 6 games, heā€™s been getting 23min. Thibs got a ex back but he might already want a divorce.

THibs is too stubborn to admit to a mistake , especially so soon. I bet this was an executive decision from above.

Just thinking ahead ...when fully healthy how many teams could field a bench squad that could match up to this:

Mitch/or Ihart
Precious
Bogs
Shake
Deuce

We'll be deeper than the Atlantic ocean when all is said and done.
