Not sure why he couldn't be kept as depth

Quote from: Sir Blue and Gold on September 29, 2025, 10:52:13 PMBad timing for him I guess. In each of the past couple years he'd have found lots of opportunity but not this year with Kyrie Wilson and Tony both staying really healthy. Who would have thought.

Make a great points here!

No reason to let him go unless he requested it.

We'll see if he lands a role on another roster but he's given up a chance at play off money at the moment. I have to believe he asked to be released for personal reasons. What those were we won't know.

Could be wrong but I don't believe PR players receive any playoff money.

Good point but there was always a chance due to injury to get on the AR.

Ya, he was basically here for when Kyrie got hurt. Kyrie didn't get hurt. So bye bye.

Now... watch a WSF/WDF/GC contender pick him up to get our full Younger wild & wacky playbook... TINFOIL ACTIVATED AND WAITING!

I think it's likely he decided to leave on his own, hung around till the trading deadline hoping to be moved. Could have asked for his release earlier but it's not an easy decision unless player intends to go back home directly, often they have zero savings, can't work, and have nowhere to live unless they find a girlfriend to shack up with. While on the PR they have a place to stay with roommates and they don't have to worry about food, pretty much living like a student.
