So far it doesn't really seem like any of these buyout guys (Monroe, Joe Johnson, Brandon Wright) are really making a difference.

They played a game or two without practicing, and then we had the all-star break. Let's at least see what they do in the next couple of weeks first.

Milwaukee could really use him (again).

Who is better at taking a charge, him or Smart?

Big Ilyasova fan. WAS or SAS could really use him. Would be stellar in the Spurs system.

In other words, who is better at flopping?

yeah. Defensive positioning, anticipation, and willingness to give up your body have nothing to do with it.

Strictly flopping.

Bellinelli had a bad game yesterday but in his 1st game with the Sixers he scored 17 points in a close victory over Miami.  It isn't realistic to expect these guys to make a difference on a routine, consistent basis.  If they were capable of that, they would have been traded not bought out.

Ilyasova reportedly plans to sign with the Sixers.  Booker likely to be cut.

So basically Atlanta handed Belinelli and Ilyasova to Philly for free...

I guess Falcons fans are still mad about that SB loss 2 years ago and are thanking the Eagles for beating the Pats a month ago  :P

I mean even Philly gets he is not that great https://www.libertyballers.com/2018/2/26/17050896/i-have-grave-concerns-about-marco-belinelli-part-2
