Royce O'Neale Over Bolomboy

NAOS said:
Remember, Bolomboy also shares an agent with Hayward. I wouldn't be surprised if this also played a small factor in tipping the scales against him.

Doubtful. Hayward was the spineless jerk. I think DL is adult enough to realize Hayward's agent had to invent the cover stories because that's what his client forced him to do. Bolomboy was made obsolete by Utah signing Udoh and Jerebko and getting Favs back. Where/when would he play? There's some of that with O'Neale...he's not going to see the court unless Utah has injuries, but the roster is more balanced by keeping him.

and when did Joe sign his contract?

Look, I'm not saying this was THE DETERMINING FACTOR. But, damn, dudes...

They will still have to deal with him somewhat. This isn't an issue at all IMO. I never indicated this was a big deal.

DL has clearly (and publicly) stated that building good relationships with agents is an important part of how his staff operates.

I'm excited for Royce... I think he becomes a contributor and adds some things that our current wing rotation doesn't have. I think he becomes a power wing and plays small ball four. Hoping he can be Similar to Jae Crowder.

Great and that does nothing to support your point of avoiding that agent.

This really isn't worth the time to discuss this lol.

Saw a tweet (Locke?) that talked about Royce and developing an outside shot. If he could it mentioned him having a career arc similar to Bruce Bowen.
 
I wish him the best but I don't feel anything about it either way. The 15th man on the roster is seldom the difference between lottery and championship.

I think he's a better ball handler and worse defender. He is a big wing... I don't see Bruce Bowen as the comp.

If his shot starts falling consistently he can play make and stretch the defense. Big enough to hold his own in the post and can switch on screens.

Yeah, but it's a cost-controlled player w/ potential. Yeah most of them amount to nothing, but some become Wesley Matthews.

Umm that is true of like 95% of the 1-14 players on every roster.

Exactly... he fits the profile of guys that have done this. Getting guys like this give you opportunities to use cap space and assets to address other needs.

The **** it doesn't. I said this agent thing could have played a small factor. I said this after listing the factors that probably weighed more heavily. In the face of these points you've whiffed hard, per usual.

It very well could have played a factor. It was probably a close call. Thanks for barely tuning in to this layer of speculation and discourse.
