Cole Swider signs with Heat

[rrlbees]

Cole leading the way in the 1st qtr. 11 pts, 2 rebs, 1 ast. 3-5 from 3.

Didn’t score in the 2nd qtr. only played 5 mins and didn’t take a shot. They got some ball hogs trying to impress.

Agree some of these guys are gunning. But Cole also did a lot of standing on the perimeter.

He moves a lot imo. But they run some sets where the two wings look for a kick out, which rarely come. Made a crazy 3 that qtr. has 14 now.

Thanks for the running updates, Bees.

Good thing for Cole is they know a lot about what he brings already. He can score in bunches but will do the little things too. He's a good guy to have with the other youngsters too.

Cole ended up with 18pts and 7rebs. Shot 4-7 from 3.

 

[Newhouser]

I watched and am so glad that I was proven wrong - he really is legit. Does more than just shoot and he is a legit excellent shooter. Teams in the league could use him.

Cole scored 19 pts last night. Shot 5-8 from 3.

Hope he gets shut down early due to being likely given a good shot to be on the bench most of the season. His consistency is impressive from his first summer league through G league play and now again.

Was really hoping Austin Reaves would’ve gone elsewhere in free agency (although I knew that was unlikely). Would’ve opened the door for Cole.

 

[two3zone]

At some point he needs NBA minutes. Dude can flat out shoot.

Lakers have a deep roster going into next season. It will be hard to find minutes for Cole if he was to be on the team.

Hope they trade him then so he goes to a team where he’ll get an opportunity.

I don't think two way guys are tradable.

You’re not tradable.

He has to be released.

They do- although doesn't necessarily mean he can't break through and someone else gets bumped.

I would love to see him bump D’Angelo Russell to the end of the bench

Lol well I mean that's going for broke but hey...

Russel is good, just inconsistent. When he's on the Lake Show can beat anybody.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

That's because I negotiated a full no trade clause when we all came back from the leach field.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

He has to be released.

Which would be bad, because his current two way contract is better than no contract.

 

[rrlbees]

Not a good shooting night for Cole tonight. 3/12 with 2/9 from 3 for 8 pts. Was 2nd in rebounds with 8.
