Dennis Lindsey sucks.

I really wish we could know if DL even asked about Jackson.

we never know

I'd put a few bucks down that Presti actually brought it up and Lindsey is the architect of instead taking a platter of garbage because the cake.

maybe, JAZZ=DL take care of the cap so RJ lost UT uniform.

We had a healthy Exum then... why would DL be interested in Jackson.

This. Plus I don't think we would have re-signed him for 80 mil.

Exum can play SG. I'd rather have Dante Exum starting at shooting guard than Hood or Burks.

Um... Exum isn't exactly a sharp shooter.

Reggie Jackson is to OKC what Enes Kanter is to us. That should be the only reason DL had any doubt and even then if you are afraid of bringing one disgruntled player and keep him in check, you shouldn't be running a team.

I looked at the title and then saw frank's actual original post and lol'ed. Good stuff. Merry ****ing Christmas my Jazzfanzers.

No way Jackson has the year he's having with this team. Fans often times just look at stats without factoring in role. Jackson dominates the ball with the Pistons in a way he wouldn't be allowed to with the Jazz.

Tony Wroten is available! Probably the same chucker as Trey, but much much taller. Just saying...

They are nothing alike at all.

I don't know, maybe because Exum is far from a proven player, doesn't have to strictly play one position, and Reggie Jackson is also not strictly a point guard and is a damn good player?

I can never tell when you're trolling and when you're not.

 

[Miggs]

I'd love the idea of Jackson here but he doesn't feel like the right fit for this team, system, and/or Quin. I lay that blame more on Quin who I love mind you. He just seems quite tight in how he wants things to run. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know.

Anybody has yet to answer the question of why taking garbage is better than taking a basketball player.

In this case, Jackson. I'll give it a whirl. Because he's the type of player who'd neither fit in the system we have here nor our long terms plans. Let's say we signed him. Then we'd have had Exum, Jackson, Burks, Hood and Hayward at the 1-3 all of whom need major time. Except that's less than 29 minutes per game for each of them. And not even including Trey Burke. We have enough talent on the wings. It's just that Exum is hurt and Hood began the year playing ****ty. What we certainly do need is a better big. Withey looks better game by game but he's really just a 4th or 5th big and shouldn't be getting more than about 8-12 minutes a night imo.

Because the franchise as a whole is more interested in being cost effective than winning basketball games.
