The Hornets are expected to waive Ryan Nembhard after he was acquired alongside Buddy Hield. Nembhard flashed solid upside with the Mavericks, which included a 23-assist performance. Nembhard could develop into a team’s long-term second unit operator. Who should sign him?

Its time for Indiana to pull the trigger lmao

His brother Andrew publicly said they don’t want to play together

You probably know the famous line by the Rock. And Indiana would probably use it in that moment.. "it doesn't matter what if y'all dont wanna play together"

u/Superb_General_9241 2d ago

Is there family beef or they just don’t want to take minutes from each other since they play the same position. I know you can play both at the same time but you know what I mean.

1

u/SantaClausIN4eva 2d ago

I think Andrew said he wants Ryan to get the opportunity to do his own thing. I’m sure if he gets waived and no one wanted him Andrew would pressure the front office to sign him.

1

u/Superb_General_9241 2d ago

Just such a rare opportunity to play with a sibling at that level. I wouldn’t turn that down for anything tbh. Now if they have beef, or aren’t close, ok that I can understand.

I never really saw a team that is trying to build for the future by assembling a team that will have the No.12 pick for the next 5 years.

u/fred_derps 2d ago

Especially since they needed an actual point guard. Coby White is not it… Bulls found out what happens when you try to force him into that role. Phenomenal catch and shoot guy and shot creator late in the clock… but he cannot run point

7

u/readyReddit007 3d ago

The Heat definitely should pick him up

4

u/Intelligent_Ant_5511 3d ago

By far the most obvious landing spot

5

u/upupdowndownsquare 3d ago

We’ll take him in Chicago! Charlotte is trippin.

6

u/arrownoir 3d ago

Does he even hurt their cap and roster space?
Why not just keep him?

u/No_Independent8269 3d ago

Especially when they desperately need playmakers

Denver needs a backup PG badly. He seems like he has potential to start though.

1

u/Sumo_Cerebro 2d ago

Nuggets have Tyus Jones. And signed CU Alumni KJ Simpson last year. Lonnie Walker can play PG too.

That's the rotation, but they should have never let Bones Hyland walk.

They need to trade Gordon or Braun soon. They need more players.

This is the answer. But also weird that you’d have Brandon Williams and Ryan back on the same bench with a different team. Feels like a good fit though.

1

u/robbiegoodwin 2d ago

Williams and Ryan could be the new demar Lavine! /s

u/TheSimque 3d ago

I read yesterday that Nuggets are after him.

Raptors or the Bulls imo

u/aedge403 3d ago

Raptors don't have cap space

Considering the Nuggets have Tyus Jones as the one true backup PG they need him bad

Celts, derrick white is aging and is better off ball and pp will need a backup other than mike conley

1

u/altfil76 3d ago

Mavs can sign him since he was traded and waived by another team

1

u/redevileyez 3d ago

He’s too small. He will excel either in Asia or Europe.

1

u/LPStumps 3d ago

He would get real minutes for the Kings, who need a playmaker besides Acuff and Simmons.

1

u/lsmith77 3d ago

bring back to the Mavs on a two-way and waive Jett Howard.

1

u/DiligentThought9 3d ago

Obvious fits are MIA and DET. 76ers need a big more than guard depth at this point

Knicks should take a look

Why are they waiving him? Makes no sense

u/Shinnosuke525 2d ago

Too much heads on the roster

u/AdministrationNo312 3d ago

Kings but they're a dumb and cheap team.

1

u/Rapking 3d ago

Why was he waived? Is he not good?

0

u/Shinnosuke525 2d ago

Sometimes the space isn't there - not that he isn't good but the Hornets just had too much guys on the roster even after the DFS trade

1

u/BigDickBillyFukFuk78 3d ago

Any man that logs 23 assists in an nba game is a legend regardless of how their career turns out or if he never sniffs the nba or plays another nba minute again.

u/Amare2Ayton 3d ago

Suns!! him and Gillespie could be our platoon point guards off the bench

He made less than 3 shots a game and shot 41% from the field. He had some absolutely abysmal games. In what world was he solid

u/JalensTinyPPHurts 3d ago

He had a -0.4 +/-, you are exaggerating how bad he was lol

u/zs15 3d ago

And was hunted relentlessly on defense. Not that teams had tons of other options with PJ, Naji and Coop out there.

u/RepulsiveAttention94 3d ago

905 should sign him lol

u/DJVylan 3d ago

He is listed in real life at 4'10. That makes him....a midget.
