Tinsley signed!?!?!
- Thread starter Weezur
- Start date
I am in favor of this move. As it stands right now the Jazz have no PG and that affects the development of the bigs. Tinsley is a good locker room guy that can help the youth a little while not really changing the amount of wins or losses. I am glad they signed him.
Didn't read the thread but am sure someone must have mentioned this is a great pick up because he's not good enough to slow the tank, but is good enough to help our youth progress better through the year.

So I like it.

Great move. Lol at the people who think this ruins the tank. We are not going to win very many games because of Tinsley, but the young players are going to gain a lot in development by playing with a point guard who knows how to get the ball to the right spots. This is a million times better than having them stand around watching a PG who won't/can't reward them with the ball when they put themselves into the right position.

I thought the JLIII move was a bit of a head-scratcher. He's a decent 2nd or 3rd option, and I understand that the decision was to thrust TB into the spotlight right away, but I always thought they should bring back either Watson or Tinsley for mentoring and to play extended minutes in case of injury. My understanding is both Watson and Tinsley were good locker room guys without the egos that were going to demand starting, so win-win. But as others have pointed out, it isn't just about mentoring TB, you need solid-if-not-spectacular point play to help the other youngins develop. We've seen that pretty much all preseason -- JLIII goes out or starts flailing and the rest of the team falls to sh#$. I'm very happy to see Tinsley AND JLIII on the bench when TB gets back.

The jazz are trying to fool some fans into thinking we are not tanking.
But they understand that while lucas3 is a general in the tank army (and really there is no better tank leader), tinsley is a very capable colonel and can still direct a great tank job while at the same time making it appear that we got the best guy to try to win games.

Since I constantly give OG ****, I gotta point out when he's right too.
Tinsley is the best PG we could've signed that will help the young guys gel. If you think Tinsley hurts the tank, u crazy.

One is really fast one is incredibly slow.
Good post was cussing up a storm till I read this. Tried to rep but couldn't. Seems like its been a while since I've been able to rep. Do I need to start negging or what?

Thank you - someone who gets it.
This isn't about wins or losses, this is about someone who can run an offense where everyone participates and our core players can develop.
JLIII is basically Ronnie Price. His PG skills are limited to bringing the ball past half court in less than 8 seconds.
Also, this will make Tinsley's trasition to AC all the more easy when we finally sack Corbin and make Alex Jensen the HC.
They should have signed him over the summer as a mentor for Burke. Maybe Burke wouldn't have broken his finger if that was the case. I liked Lester Hudson though and think he could fill a Bobby jackson-lite kind of role off the bench. Maybe that is what Ian Clark will be?

This is pretty close to what I'm thinking. While Lucas can show 3 how to shoot the ball, i haven't seen a shred of playmaking in his game. While 3 is a passer himself, how is he going to develop that part of his game if he has nobody to compare to on the guard line? Sure, Hayward is a pretty good passer, but his playmaking isn't any more developed than 3's is right now. Come on, tell me you wouldn't like to see some of Tinsley's craftyness in 3's game? Sometimes you need to do something a bit different to get the ball around a stiff defense, and Tinsley knows how to do this.
Oh, and a moment of silence for Machado...........................................................................................
Frankly, though he was a hard worker and tried to do the right things, he has no offence at all and as he tried to get that going, his playmaking was forgotten in the wing. He's on our radar now, and if he ever figures that out maybe he gets another look. On a positive note, assuming that the team lets go of Lucas next season, Tinsley (if he is still on the team) will be less of at threat to Neto's time on the floor next season while Machado, being another young point guard, would want to actually progress his career. Not that there would be any guarantees for Machado next season anyway.
In the end this proves to me that there really isn't a tank, and that they are really dedicated to giving 3 every chance to become a complete player. Side note, I bet they were working with Tinsley all along and it took this long for him to stop asking for a multi year deal. (is it multi? haven't heard yet.)
