  6. uhhhh ok I guess? 42 percent three point shooter last year (oh it was on one attempt per game)

  12. Hold up where did this come from?? We used our MLE and BAE, is 3.2m the minimum for someone with his experience nowadays?? Also we don’t have any guaranteed roster spots, so is Temple competing in camp? Trade coming?

    Wonder what’s the guarantee on this. If it’s fully guaranteed 3.2m then that suddenly makes it seem like Dowtin is not likely to make the team

    Edit: From Blake, [Raptors now at 15 guaranteed spots (if Temple is guaranteed). He’s a cool guy, good room presence. Raps about $1.9M clear of tax (and 3.1M clear if we exclude “unlikely” bonuses for a few guys), so a tiny bit of flexibility to cut a guarantee if, say, Dowtin earns a spot.](https://twitter.com/blakemurphyodc/status/1686069558476488715?s=46&t=sbk6yuyliVaFRQjBUBJCMQ)

    Also, [per Koreen it only counts for 2m+ on the books](https://twitter.com/ekoreen/status/1686070240709394434?s=46&t=sbk6yuyliVaFRQjBUBJCMQ)

  15. Why are we signing geriatric free agents if we’re not competing for a championship

  23. A trade is coming I believe it, can someone smarter than me confirm if Kobe bufkin is trade eligible by august 2?

  26. I like the signing. Temple brings in a veteran presence which can help lead and support the young guys as they get a foothold in the league and develop their game to an NBA level. Nice add along the margins Masai.

  27. Dont know how hes played in recent seasons but in 2k mynba the pelicans always offer an unprotected pick to get off his contract

  28. Hey at least we didn’t give up a 1st rounder for this “veteran locker room presence”.

  29. I traded for this guy every single time in 2k so that the raps can get a 26’ first round pick. Didn’t think we would actually land him

  31. Another questionable decision from the front office. Constructing the most mid team of all time

  33. End of bench minimum salary contract. Vet presence in locker room and at practice, on a team with abrasion between vets and young players last year. Absorbs minutes on b2b games when young players are inconsistent.

    What exactly is the problem here?

  34. I’ve been watching the NBA since the 80s. Granted, I don’t watch every game, but I’ve never even heard of this guy.
