Neto Officially signed.

Fegan was probably like "I ****ing lost DeAndre, let's get this **** done Neto. You're going to Utah. Let's sign this".

It was the 13-14' Gordon Hayward situation, bro. That does matter a ton. Hayward was 41.5% from deep in '12-13, then shot 30% in '13-14 when we dismantled the team, and was able to bring it back up to 36% from 3 last year. No, Neto is not a shooter, but I don't think he is really 20% bad. Could be wrong, though.

The thing is Hayward has shown to be a good shooter prior to that gap year... Neto on the other hand hasn't.


Seems to me like Cotton is being put through the ringer, running around hoops after hoops to get a contract, then suddenly Neto just walked in here and got the contract handed to him. I'm just not quite sure what the situation is. There must be something behind this.

I think it's ok. I think you forget that before this year we were always excited about Neto. He was GOOD. Let's just trust DL. I know I'm not ok with lyles. I think it's a waste when good shooting wings were there, but I guess I have to think they know what's best more than me.
 
Neto is the type of point that is still a good player w/o being a shooter, though. He is quick, and creative enough. Trey has neither of that going for him, and his shooting is pretty bad. Yeah, Trey is not 20% from 3, but he doesn't do much of anything besides not turn the ball over (unless you count wasting possessions with ill-advised shots, and shot clock expirations as turnovers).

Jazz like Cotton. Cotton should stay. Don't under-sell Neto, though. He does a lot of things that will help us. Burke should be the odd man out of the rotation.

That's why it's strange to me. Normally you have a gap in your rotation and you go out and get a player to fill it.


In this case Burke is still under contract, we've got Exum long term, and we seem to really like Cotton. Then out of the blue they just went out and sign Neto who hasn't proven himself even at the SL level (compared to Cotton who played for us at the end of last season).


A real head scratcher for me unless there is a bigger plans/moves at play here.

Burke needs to stick until the deadline. He still has value as a young player with potential and his rookie deal is very palatable. I'm happy to have Neto and Cotton finish out the year as 2/3, and to have Burks take over PG duties in the playoffs.

Are you suggesting we carry 4 PGs into the season (includes Exum)?
 
Burke has too much potential to cut. He really just needs to fix his shot selection and he is better than Neto or Cotton.

Burke is one of the worst pg in the league by most statistical models. He has had the opportunity to start since his arrival and has sucked. I'm willing to see what's out there. I think we can t lose.

That could be a possibility but I think: Exum > Cotton > Burke > Neto


So if we're keeping 3, why not Exum, Cotton and Burke?

Maybe burke would not be happy as a third stringer?
 
We don't need no 6'0" shoot-first PG that struggles on defense. Trey Burke is the odd-man-out.

Neto will surprise, and no doubt his playmaking skills alone will win over the Jazz fans. He was already a good prospect watching him in the Orlando SL 2 years ago. He's only gotten better. I'm actually quite surprised the Jazz got him to sign for less than 1 million/year.

In Lindsey I trust.

Well you keep Exum, Cotton and Burke, but obviously Cotton would be 3rd string unless it's apparently that Cotton >>> Burke.

Ok
Maybe burke simply wants to be traded and so that's why the jazz trade him

OK but what is not apparent right now is what DL is going to do with Burke? Are you saying we're trading him?


Are you OK with Exum, Cotton, Neto PG lineup when you want to make the Western Conference playoffs? To me that's thin.
 
IMO Neto is a better prospect than Cotton.

I really liked Cotton, but I think he couldn't be solid enough to stay on the team. Few good games in April last year doesn't say much... In the summer league, two bad games and one good.

It's difficult. But I would choose Raulzinho.
