No big deal here except it seems to clear a roster spot. Any ideas? or is this a just to get the kid some reps move.

This does not clear a roster spot. It is just a way to get Othello more playing time.

Welp, there goes my Hunter -for- Skinner idea.

I guess it's on to my Gardner -for- Skinner idea.

I don't see why that couldn't still be a possibility. Being in the D-League doesn't affect whether or not you can trade someone. Hunter is still under contract for the Hawks.

we do this now but could never send Solo or Salim there?

Good, its been really annoying to have him sitting there but never playing. I'm glad someone read in the rule book that we are allowed to give these guys game experience if we aren't going to use them.

Hopefully he is a Ramon Sessions-esque revelation there.

1. This is excellent news!

2. Why haven't we done this before?

3. Why are we doing it now?

I think the reason we are finally doing this is that we now have a healthy frontcourt. I am not saying that Othello would play, but when you have an injured frontcourt then it takes away from practice. I think Othello wasn't sent down because Woody likes to have full practices. Since we have had Smoove, Za, and Horf out for some period of time this year Othello was probably contributing in practice. They are all healthy, might as well get him some burn.

That is the roster of the Anaheim Arsenal. Interesting to note that Cedric Bozeman is on the team, he played with us a little 2 years ago. Also the coach is Sam Vincent, I guess it is really a lateral move for him going from the Bobcats to the NBDL.

I think if we needed to clear a spot we would just release Gardner. He is not making very much.

I think we should send Morris down too. Bring him back if there is an injury

I think Hunter brings more to the table than Morris does. I'd rather have Hunter on the roster.

Morris brings low post scoring (if given the chance). I don't know what Hunter brings.

Hunter rebounds and blocks shots. Morris doesn't do either. I don't know how we could do without Morris's 12 pts and 11 rebounds in 63 minutes. Mario West rebounds better.

6 points on 42.9% shooting and 7 rebounds in 33 minutes is slightly better than 12 on 44.4% shooting and 11 in 63 minutes but not by much.

Both players are guys we can do without and both should be in the D-League if we can spare the bodies in practice.
