Barely dodged that bulllet.  He did next to nothing for OKC in their deep playoff run.  His list of injuries throughout his career is insane.  Happy Trails.

I don’t think he ever fully recovered from that horrific injury he suffered in Boston. Which made signing him a real head scratcher but that’s MJ for you. Happy retirement, GH.

he was good in year 1 then injuries hit and never ended and even when on the court he kinda sucked. oh well, we wouldn't be in any different place right now had we not signed him. hopefully new ownership and front office can avoid these types of deals going forward.

Especially with this contract being back to back with that horrible Batum contract the previous few years. Just overpaid obviously under-motivated guys getting a big pay day. We'll see if Ball can actually stay healthy with his big contract, Luckily we're actually not doomed without him since they nailed the Brandon Miller pick

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
