  1. That’s a shame. But I figured if they weren’t willing to bring Nowell up and give him any minutes on this team this season, he probably wasn’t part of their long term plans

  2. Definitely a bit of a bummer as Markquis seems like a great guy, but understandable. I hope he can find somewhere to stick around!

  4. People here were saying he was gonna be the next IT and I got downvoted to shit for saying they’re delusional lmao best of luck to Marquis tho

  7. We went from a big heavy team to guard heavy. Makes sense to have big men on our two ways

  8. Sad for him, but truth is, he probably won’t ever be a positive player in this league. Let’s hope he proves me wrong.

  9. Makes sense, they’re better options on this roster right now for PT, instead of giving Nowell time. 

    Hope he lands somewhere, but his size will always be a hindrance.

    Interested in seeing what they do with the final open roster spot.

  10. This is a big bummer. Not entirely surprising, but I was really hoping he’d be a part of our future.

  11. It always sucks to see good people lose their job like this. Hopefully he gets a chance to prove himself elsewhere.

  12. He wasn’t going to crack the line up regardless

    y’all sad about nothing burgers

    JFL is the player y’all should be excited about; not no 5’7 guard

  13. To bad about Marquis but he’s been injured for the last 2 months or so. So it was expected

  14. He’ll probably get another shot on the 905 next season when he’s healthy. He’s undoubtedly got the BBIQ and skill to be a superstar, but he’s let down by his genetics.

    That said, maybe he uses this to fuel his way into being another IT Jr. or Nate Robinson when he gets healthy

  15. Damn that sucks he said he’d be the best raptor ever and didn’t come even close before being waived

  18. The idea that Nowell was an nba prospect was very delusional on this board. Sadly there is a point where you just can’t be an impact NBA player. To be a rotation guy at 5’7’’ you have to have ungodly skill level elsewhere and Nowell sadly does not have that.

  20. I wish they would’ve gave him some minutes to finish off the season with the raps just to see his offensive abilities but I’m not surprised by this move
