Jazz sign Blake Ahearn to a 10-day Contract

Relax everyone he's taking Tinsley's old spot as bench warmer. Let's hope he's good at cheering on his new teammates, because if not for any more injuries to pg's or blowouts he will just keep a seat warm.

He COULD take SG spot too...I think he's a shoot first PG.
We only have 3 wings: Hayward, Burks, Carrolle.

I've been out of the loop. What did he do to deserve bad karma and what is the bad karma?

I don't know the particulars but he had a public spat with Coach over what was perceived to be playing time, despite the fact that the man he was losing minutes to was playing better and helping the team.
 
With Miles out, the road to the playoffs is that much easier. This D-League guy doesn't help he won't see time at all unless there is an injury or blowout

eh, that's a totally overblown version. he didn't have a "spat" with anybody. he came back from injury, thought he was ready to return to his regular minutes before the coaching staff thought he was, and then like 2 games later he was fine and back to being the regular backup PG. it was not a big deal at all, nobody felt slighted or questioned or distracted.

You clearly missed this then:

"I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have a problem playing on any other team, so it's not like I'm out of the NBA," Watson said. "Just stay ready and just let my agent figure all the business side out."

From this article: https://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/blogsjazznotes/53787310-62/watson-corbin-tinsley-games.html.csp

It came across as a thinly veiled threat. It was unprofessional, and to be honest it soured me to Earl quite a bit.

That said, I don't believe his injury is deserved. I still like the guy and feel bad he is hurt. I'm just saying that he kind of came across as a entitled dickhole with his comments.

It makes a lot more sense if this is about Watson's injury. I hadn't thought about that. I am intrigued.
 
ha ha Ahearn! I used to watch this guy play for the Erie Bayhawks before I moved out to the west coast. He and Gansey were our best players - both shot threes all day long. Ahearn scored in bunches and hustled, but he never struck me as a good defender....

Nice- I was born in Erie, but moved when I was a kid. I have some good memories of Waldameer and the peninsula. That park is a classic.

Looks like a good find. Broke the all time consecutive free throw record. Even better than the NBA record. So obviously he can shoot. That's uncommon for a Jazz shooting guard. Could open up the inside. Be interesting to see how well he can handle the ball.
