    Good shooter, perfect for what we need now.

    Good signing. He was my favorite player of the guards who were trying out. Go check out his stats. He is a solid 3 point shooter.

    I didn't know anything about him but I see he is 6'8 so that's a plus

    Just a body for 10 days DELLS WORKING! Good shooter

    He can replace the main skill of the two players we traded away, and probably defend decently. Good addition. Now for this T-Jones trade...

    I had a feeling it was going to be between Quinn and him. I like Thompson for what we need. He's a guy who has a lot of NBA experience and is a good outside shooter.

    Is he some, omg this is great, player? No, but we have very specific needs for more wing help and Thompson can fill that SG/SF backup.

    Basically, I've felt since the trade that Thompson would be a smart pickup. And seeing the Pels grab him makes total sense.

    Agreed! I like it. He's a bigger guard that can shoot the 3. I guess we are trading for another pg.

    I agree. T-Jones has played well for us. I hope Dell finds him a good landing spot.

    I see that Minny will not re-sign Lance until he is healthy.
    I'm tipping we will get another guard once Jones or Ajinca is traded and Lance will be brought in for Thompson.

    If Dell is working on a bigger move and Hollis is just a body fo 10days, I would like either Hezonja or Tyler Johnson.

    Lance is a perfect fit for this team right now VERSATILITY (pg/sg/sf), DEFENCE (fierce competitor) & SWAGGER (we need)
    Best when he rebounds & pushes de pace & attacks the rim See Ya Soon!

    Very good long-range shooter, who doesn't do much else. Then again you can't expect to get rotation player on a 10-day contract. Thompson addresses specific need, and that will do for now.

    Lance is expected to be out for a month, and who knows, how hobbled he'll look coming off of ankle injury.

    Hollis wow. The biggest pickup in a while.

    But for real, hit open threes off of Boogie and Brow doubles and we will love him.

    I love this signing. Has the versatility to play SG and SF providing us with great depth. Thompson and Casspi can be 2 solid pieces as good as the guys we let go. I still think we make another trade but either way I would like to keep Hollis around as an end of the bench guy going forward.

    It's really not that great of a signing. Just trying to add bodies at this point.

    Marcus Thorton was waived. We can basically get Hield back signing him as well.

    I think he's just what we need right now. Good size and career 39% from 3.
