Luke "Green Kornet" Thread 

Post#1 » by zoyathedestroya » Mon Oct 17, 2022 10:41 pm

He's not part of the opening night roster.
Read on Twitter

So Cs chose Justin Jackson and Vonleh over him essentially. Was supposed to be guaranteed 1.06M on opening night.

15th roster spot remains open.

I wonder if it's an oversight?
Haven't yet heard of him being officially Waived.

Probably a typo, if not Derrick Favors incoming?

That's as official as it gets. Coming from the NBA office. Unless the intern who made the NBA Comms memo made a mistake.

WTF?!

I was literally coming on RealGM to tell all those people that were cutting Kornet that he'll prove you wrong.

Seems like an error. There would be a release by the Celtics. I mean Celtics had a release when they waived Jake Layman

I like Kornet and will be sorry to see him go. Having said that, Cody Zeller was just waived by the Jazz and Zeller would be a clear upgrade.

When you go to Celtics.com and try to view the team roster, you can't. Curious.

Thought this dude sprained his ankle, turned out he sprained his way out of existence.

This is like the online version of when the stadium guys wouldn’t let Pritchard in the building.

Waiting for Derrick Favors to pick his number first is my guess :wink:

It's indeed a weird situation. Official rosters were already submitted and released by the league office. Either someone royally screwed up or Luke's really out and Cs were just hoping Kornet found out thru Twitter lol.

He would be? At least Kornet can stay healthy and has familiarity with our system, our schemes and has experience playing with our guys..
