They bumped up Keels to the big roster and had a two-way slot available.

Got it. Was thinking also about why a guard? Unless they want more scoring off the bench.

I read Derek Fisher is his uncle, being his dad's brother. That's enough for me!

Just hope Miami doesn't go and sign Matt Barnes' nephew now.

The apple doesn't fall far... iHart better keep an eye on Kourtney. Also, could be worse. As far as I know, Duane hasn't banged anyone's mom on the team.

Arch's replacement. A guy you know can at least provide decent minutes in the event JB or IQ goes down. I wouldn't have minded a combo forward in that slot tho.

We've got Deuce who just lost his rotation spot due to acquisition and not because of play. And we've got Rose just sitting there, definitely more than capable of being an emergency third stringer.

Really don't know much about him, but I've seen the numbers, and I've seen some highlights. Assuming this is just a "because he was there" sort of signing. Young player who's shown flashes and was available for nothing. Snatch him up now, who knows what happens in the off season. I expect that the FO will be more aggressive on the trade market, pushing for a legit big 3 with Randle and Brunson. Not all our young guys may be here in Sept.

Is DRose getting bought out and going to suns?
Free look at a kid, we get his rights, and if there is a big consolidation trade we familiar with him?
Rokas can be traded tool.
WE take fliers all the time. No reason to read too much into this.

Looks like they just need another body in practice.

Rose seemed to make it clear this week that he didn't want to leave the team

Right! Plus he probably made a smart business decision and noted how well the Knicks were playing compared to the Suns and screw Durant anyway

Good signing. High energy aggressive scorer who is not afraid to shoot the ball. Good athleticism.
Another dog mentality type. Better than Deuce or Rose right now. Imo.
