Jazz Sign Rudy Gay

[whatthe]

I love our Gay Butler signings!

 

[Ineptimusprime]

What a great pick up for the Jazz. They were targeting two players for their TPMLE and they got one of them, great work by the front office. The Jazz have had a very successful offseason in my book, re-signed Conley and added Butler and Gay. I would love to see them make a couple of good vet minimum signings and call it an offseason. No need to trade Ingles, if our championship window is now then he helps us far more next season than guy's like Moody or Paschall would.

I’m cool with absorbing Paschall with TPE and flipping them a few seconds to keep Don happy. Or they can have Miye Oni and a second rounder if they like him. I wouldn’t give up anything else for him.

Does Rudy have a ring with Spurs?

 

[The Fresh Prince]

Lol bro we got two shot creators coming off the bench now. Oooowee

 

[KqWIN]

This might actually make a Joe (or Bojan) deal MORE likely...

If you didn't think we had too many shot creators/ball handers before....You've got to think we do now. I'm sure Gay will adjust his game (hopefully that goes well), but at his core he's a mid range pull up shooter which is the last thing this team needed.

If we're not willing to move one our all offense/scoring, no defense guys for a defensive player we should stop complaining about the defense and just accept that it will be all time horrendous come playoff time.

They waived him because he was pouty and refused to do **** for some reason. Then he went elsewhere and killed it. Shot like 40% from 3, rebounded, played solid D. No ****ing clue why he refused to perform while he was here but here he sucked ***.

Are you a Jazz exec on a burner account? To be fair we waived Jeff very young into the season. Sometimes these older guys need some time to get everything together and get a new system down. All the players loved Jeff, so I don't think it's anything to do with his attitude

Also, this idea that he was a cancer does not jive any bit with his rep. Still feel like the Jazz were the disaster and he doesn’t jive with that.

The Jazz got Gay? Is it too early to line up for the parade on State Street?

Agreed. I think sometimes our fanbase slightly shows that they are casual fans and biased towards other teams players, especially athletes with marquee names. Jeff Green has presented himself professionally everywhere he's gone. We have a very strange dynamic we run here with Lindsay having a hard on for G League players for some odd reason, and Snyder's system. Hopefully we veer away from that and go the extra mile to bring in better quality players. This signing is a big deal, and Gay has that Vince Carter feel about him with how he preserves his game as he ages. He hasn't really slowed down too much since that knee injury he had a few years back, but this is a vet who knows how to score, and if Clarkson is struggling off the bench we can put the ball in Gays hand to score. This signing has me hype!

 

[The Thriller]

Jeff definitely had something left when he signed with us. DL just wanted Niang and Rayjon Tucker instead.

Green looked terrible that year. I don’t think he fit.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Is @Handlogten's Heros Zanik, BTW? All the ire towards DL is starting to lineup too...

I demand answers.

Just saw the news… **** yeah. I’m a big fan of the gay move. About as perfect a fit as possible… and the puns… my god the puns!!!!!

Curious, what about Rudy's game is perfect? Did we need a mid range iso scorer? A plus usage guy is the last thing I think this team needed.

FYI. Gay attempted more three pointers per game than Niang last season.

 

[slc]

Butler will look great with JC, Joe, and Rudy G on the floor with him
Just get the ball to your vets.
They will know what to do

 

[LoPo]

Hell yeah. This is pleasantly surprising.

I thought the same thing. Nice

Conley-Butler
Mitchell-Clarkson
O’Neale-Ingles
Bogdanovic-Gay
Gobert-Doke

What do we need? Someone like Chiozza in case Conley goes down? Another long 3-4 who is versatile? Nothing at all.

Good looking squad. Definitely need a 3rd PG to fill in when Conley inevitably needs some time off. What is Raul Neto up to?

He shoots a lot of threes now, rebounds at a high level and can play four and five… and yes in the playoffs when things him up the midrange game might be useful… GTFOH with the nonsense… this is so much better than other teams did with their exceptions. Sorry NiNag is gone.

 

[Ron Mexico]

It feels a lot like when we signed Joe Johnson. Hopefully he impacts as much as he did the first year. I'm not a huge fan but a solid vet signing
