He's a locker room cancer who isn't talented enough for teams to want to put up with his attitude.
Harrell was arrested for pot a few seasons back. I know legalities are sketchy with some states being legal, some legal with RX, and others not. I don't take issue with anyone smoking in their free time from my personal perspective but I'm also not cutting a 7 figure paycheck to someone who can't or won't cover their own self in that regard either. I can see why he doesn't have a roster spot. At 30, he's not going to become more than he was either so there's no more upside to bank on, especially after an ACL tear.

Montrezl Harrell was a good player with the Clippers a few years back.

Zach Edey is going to be a load for a defender to handle down low.

I am really curious to know if this will even work anymore.

With teams shooting so many 3's and having a lot of 40% shooters, this dude would almost have to shoot 70% to make this effective.

There is always a demand for inside defenders, scorers and rebounders at the center spot. It keeps defenses honest.

Phoenix will open the season at the Clippers.

The Suns will catch a break of sorts with Kawhi Leonard out.

It doesn't feel right waiving someone named Charlie Brown.

Matisse Thybulle of the Trail Blazers is expected to miss 3–4 weeks. He had a procedure done on his right knee.

The video of the injury looked pretty brutal.

I don't think he's a very good basketball player but I felt a little bad he became a whipping boy because Monty loved him. That shouldn't be a negative to fans. His play is fair game though when criticizing.

That's a gnarly injury. He should bounce back if it was only dislocated without any tissue damage but he could be mentally cooked going forward, like Zarko and Fortson. Shamet is a borderline talent now so he doesn't have to make a significant drop to fall out of the league.

Even worse, it could cost Landry Shamet a spot with the Knicks.

It just made so little sense for the Clippers to give Kawhi that contract extension.

Lonnie Walker is available. He could help a contender. I wonder if the Suns have any interest.
