2017-18 NBA Bric-a-Brac (Week 20)

Signings/Waivings
Sixers waived Trevor Booker to sign Ersan Ilyasova for the rest of the season. (Is this an upgrade? Ilyasova will shoot 3's but he's not very good at them...so....not sure I see the point of this; also, if you're keeping score at home, this is the conclusion of the Jahlil Okafor drafting, no?)

Lakers waive Corey Brewer, who was then signed by the Thunder for the rest of the year. (Brewer gives the Thunder a little scoring off the bench but he's not a replacement for Andre Roberson and probably conflicts with Melo, so not this doesn't strike me as a great fit (unless they convince Melo to move to China or something))

Wolves waive Shabazz Muhammad, who was then signed by the Bucks for the rest of the season. (Bazz has nice moments, think of him as Jeff Green 2.0, could be a nice low risk pickup for the Bucks)


Injuries
Josh Hart (Lakers) out indefinitely with a fractured left hand. (Hart had a nice season, averaging about 20MPG, not bad for a rookie; doesn't seem like he'll be back for the rest of this year, will we see him in Summer League?)

Danilo Gallinari (Clippers) out at least 2 weeks with fractured right hand. (Puts a dent in the Clippers playoff hopes but should be back by the end of the season)


Debuts
Up to 110 debuts this season with Xavier Rathan-Mayes (Grizzlies) and Jaylen Morris (Hawks) joining in.
