I’ve heard it’s a vet min, but haven’t seen verification. I can’t imagine playing them together, and Drummond wouldn’t quit shooting stupid shots when he got plenty of minutes. Him trying to rehab his value on backup minutes would be mind blowing. He’d shoot two shots for every minute he played looking for his next big contract.

I don’t know if Raptors offered him, but their centers suck, and I can’t imagine they wouldn’t pay him more than vet min. Masai might just be like fuck no, he’s an idiot. That’s possible. I know Sac and Cleveland both signed their centers before offers could be made that needed matched with Toronto in mind. They suck at center and had like $24 million space.

The Bulls are strange. Not horrible, but just strange. I found the Vuc trade and giving up multiple firsts weird. I guess you have to go for it at this point, but that team feels perfectly 5-6 seed territory at best.
