    Would love to see a compromise 70 game regular season. Doubt it happens though because $ reasons.

    I really don’t know anything about LaRavia. We’re kind of going over quota though, this isn’t Utah.

    Strongly dislike this move. He’s shown flashes, but not worth this.

    What a horrible signing. Can we can rob like… yesterday? Damn. Lose DFS to overpay for a scrub who won’t touch the floor. I’m sick….

    Yuck, was Timofey Mozgov unavailable that he had to give $12 mil to LaRavia???

    He seems like a guy we could have gotten for the vet minimum.

    Quick Look at LaRavia his game reminds me of Torean Prince. I like him although he’s not a starter

    Completely disagree with all the downers above me ^^^^

    I like this signing. He will get playing time, and he will win more than one game for us this year with his three ball.

    Very odd move without us locking down even one center yet. I don't get it.

    I also have to wonder what’s the point of the Lavaria signing if we have Knect???

    Unless…. More moves to come?

    Have you watched him? Genuinely asking. First time I saw him play in Memphis it looked like he could play, but haven’t heard much since. I’m not upset over the player himself, but the opportunity cost given our limited assets.

    Ohhhh I thought he was the guy hitting threes on Sac. Back up to Valanchunis thought he had a big game against Phoenix.

    I don’t know seems like Ben Simmons would’ve helped us more.

    my quibble is that a) we only have so much to spend and b) he's not quick. we just don't need more slow guys. DFS was actually fairly slow, too, but he was a very good rim defender for a non-big. laravia isn't that.

    when he was in the car with reaves on that video, i thought something was up. i didn't think it was a signing above vet min, though. my bad.
