Wiseman, forgot about him. 5 nba games in two years. Waived by both Toronto and Indiana. Tore his achilles almost two years ago. Its not going well for him.

All true. My “half-hearted” is about a guy like this that can’t stay on the court. But he is also 6’11 with a 7’6 wingspan.

At this point he is in the salvage pile. But if we are talking camp invites with non-guaranteed money? I’d like a closer look.

You know I gonna spin wit it

I have no idea if he ready to resume his career in the nba. Maybe play some Gleague and show some game might be his path? He is 25. I'd gather if he can get to a camp and is healhty, as you said someone should give him a look.

James Wiseman might be the answer to this very long thread. Talent and upside are still there. Major health risk but that’s the gamble you take at this point.

I’d have to say if wiseman is finally healthy he’s a steal… he would without a doubt be our new Mitch ..

Look at how he looked in the World Cup this year for USA he’s a defensive specialist and is more then just a lob threat on offense .

Like the move. Low risk. Yes he’s very injury prone but he has talent. He has a chance to reinvent himself here.

Wiseman on that under 19 team kicking mexico's ass?
Video's like that inflate. I see the potential but vs. NBA men he has yet to produce and the body hold up.
I do hope he finds his stride with knicks! It would be a nice gain. Big men sometimes need time. Sometimes to develop or sometimes to see its not gonna happen as hoped. Long ass list of guys that just did not have that extra thing to get them over the top. Then are guys like Ayton who just don't have the love or hunger. He is not a bad player, and has been paid, but just missing that small thing. Wiseman? The Achilles is a bad injury and he needs that explosive edge. Hope its there.

Can we free enough to get $9.6M under the second apron to sign Duren on a 1 year contract?
https://www.yahoo.com/sports/articles/mentally-never-recovered-life-gilbert-201100428.html

Start him at Center, Slim Shady moves to PF, and Josh Hart becomes 6MOTY

Still in the first apron, I think we were limited to tax payer MLE (used on Shamet/Jose?)

I would steer clear of Wiseman. Everything i read about him in the past is that he has a very low ball iq and is consistently missing assignments on defense. What we need is a good screen setter that can defend the rim and not be lost on a switch.

Dallas still got like 8 PF’s and C’s and still sign him? Maybe the Moussa Cisse dream still alive for another minute?
