I can't believe no better team wanted Bass, especially after he was the starter as the Celtics finished so strongly last season. He's a tough-minded, playoff-tested veteran who can knock down the open shot.
Mike
I am surprised Toronto didn't make a run at Bass. They need a starting PF after Amir leaving.
Outside of the Raptors, I do not see many other possibilities.
- Cleveland = K-Love and T.Thompson
- Atlanta = Millsap and Mike Scott
- Chicago = Pau, Mirotic, Taj Gibson
- Washington = only want one year deals to stay in play for Durant next summer
- Miami = Bosh and McRoberts
- Golden State = Draymond Green, David Lee, small-ball
- San Antonio = Aldridge & Diaw
- Houston = T.Jones, Motiejunas
- LA Clippers = they have bigger problems. Need a center.
- New Orleans = Anthony Davis, Ryan Anderson
- Utah = Favors, Booker and T.Lyles
- Phoenix = Markieff Morris,
Marcus Morris- Dallas = more pressing needs than a backup PF. Needs at guard and backup C.
Maybe Memphis.
Sacramento would have been a good fit but they are a lottery team like the Lakers.
Not much of a market out there in terms of playoff teams from what I can see for Bass.
