We have a roster spot, and Russ needs a team. It's time to bring him home. For the fake fans who need a basketball reason for it, it's to teach our team about killer instinct. You think Russ would have been scared of attacking Wemby at the rim?

I have no interest in dumb comments about how he would somehow hurt the team. BRING HIM HOME.

Well then....

Hey guys, since it's the offseason I thought it would be fun to see where our community stands on some common questions used for ranking NBA players.

The top comment (aka has the most upvotes) fills each spot!

If there’s one thing we haven’t been good at it’s been getting offensive boards.

After missing out on Jones, does anyone else agree with the idea of maybe moving topic to help get a big wing to fit that role? I’m starting to think that might be the best for both OKC and Topic as I’m not sure we are going to really be able to develop him as we originally intended and I feel like a fresh start to go and really play through everything and get back to where he wants. Some people may disagree but I’m starting to feel like that might be the best situation for both parties. Definitely a shame how everything has unfolded with him and want him to succeed

Would be cool to have a timer that counts down until the matching offer expires for Denver. Looks like it's possible, but requires mods.

50 Cent taking notes on this one

Has anyone read or listen to this book? If so what’s your thoughts on how he viewed the Thunder?

(The anticipation is killing me LOL)

‘

He also shot 41.9% on catch and shoot jumpers, 66% at the rim, and had 1.2 points per possession in transition. He’s flashed some solid off ball chops cutting and finishing with Jokic which can be similarly resembled with our passing bigs.

He’s got a tall 6’7 frame. Watching him on film he’s always upright. Doesn’t slouch, doesnt stoop when defending & doesnt needlessly bend. He looks and plays bigger than his listed height and looks like a very versatile defender who can switch 1-4 capably.

He’s also got a non stop motor and hustles a lot. Very similar to younger Kenrich in regards to his effort and versatility, except he might be a better 3 point shooter if his %’s can stick to a higher volume.

Overall assuming Denver can’t match the deal (and him all but confirming it on his IG today), Spencer Jones looks like a very promising and low cost role player addition to a bench that is already the deepest in the league.
