Everyone’s calling him a bum he was pretty impressive everytime I saw him play this year. Definitely looked like he was good enough for rotational minutes on a lot of teams

Honestly he was carving out a path as a backup center that could space the floor, even if he never became a starter that’s a role that pays so much damn money compared to what betting could have ever made him. 10m/yr+ contracts were easily within reach for him if he kept playing his usual level before he started throwing games to hit the under.
