I mean...solid backup. I've always liked him more than most people.

[Rich4114]

This is not a bad signing at all. Adds some stability and he’s better than Brad.

[SWedd523]

Exactly what they should be doing. Give vets short deals instead of committing 4 years to a replaceable backup.

Guys around here have been jonesing for ish for awhile too

[Liver_Pooty]

Some people are going to **** all over this signing but I like it

[KembaWalker]

after last year I think Mitch had to clarify for JB that the starting PG position is not up for competition

$4.5M fits into the Room MLE (assuming they operate under the cap), meaning the $13.5M in cap space is still available.

Ish ties NBA record with his 12th team.

12 teams wow

I honestly don't know his game all that well, lost track of him. Can he score around the basket and does he shoot well outside?

[dmutombo321]

Struggled from outside early in his career but has turned into a solid enough shooter. Just under 37% from outside last year on 2.5 attempts a night. Good court vision and veteran presence.... He'll do just fine for what we need... Like the team option for year 2

Interesting - so a team doesn't have to exhaust their cap space before using the mle?

We all knew it was coming. Lol. Better than the other options left.

Yes and no. Technically no, but none of this is official yet, so teams can kinda earmark money/exceptions for certain players and then at the end of the moratorium sign them in a specific order to maximize space. If nothing else materializes he'll be signed into space, but ideally they'll use the exception.

I like it, I actually like it quite a bit. He fits into what we are trying to do really well and has been loved everywhere he has been. Good pickup for sure!

I would be cool with going into the season with some cap flex in order to pick up some potential low hanging fruit in a trade mid season.

[BigSlam]

Ish is a jet - and knows how to pass the rock to the right person in the right spot.

I could see him doing well with the roster we have built.

Not much of a shooter/scorer - but can wreak havoc on the opposing team when he's at full speed and putting them on their heels.

[BigSlam]

Looks like Ish has a career average of 3.9 assists to 1.3 turn overs.

Seems right up our alley in what we look for with ball handlers.

[Rays Pompadour]

Good signing. And he comes from a good school, too.

[MrMorrow]

I think Ish was born and raised in Charlotte. nice signing

[Diop]

My only knock is that I remember that Bonnell liked him

[wilson115]

I like it. Go re-sign Riller now!

[Robot Rock]

Charlotte native, so that's cool. Saved money while downgrading, at least. And I predicted the signing?
