David Aldridge: Jazz come to terms with Jamaal Tinsley

[Mr. McGibblets]

People..

Can we stick to the business of discussing the Jazz? Instead of opnion bashing, spell checking, insults, or whether or not I leave a quote.

Do you, or do you not have an opinion about basketball? What is the point of being here?

I have no opinion really. I wait for KOC to tell me what I should think.

I envy you and your opinions though - they seem well reasoned and thought out.

From Watson to Tinsley is nothing more than schuffling the deck chairs around on the Titanic. Their numbers are very similar (although Tinsley takes care of the ball a little more). I'm not in love with Watson; but if you're going to pick one why not pick the one who knows the layout.

My only guess is they could get Tinsley for the vet minimum while Watson would demand a little more.

Look! Mr McGibblets was so kind as to include a picture of his girlfriend. Right there on the far right

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

We don't know the terms of the deal. We're not signing him to play 25 minutes a night. I really doubt KOC and company said "hey, forget Watson...we have a chance at Tinsley!" It seems that maybe Watson has not been super eager to re-sign and is trying to find a better situation for himself somewhere else.

Yes we should try and win, but come on. The backup PG or 3rd guard slot is not going to make or break the season. Settle down. I am so ready for the season to start so people can bitch about the rotations rather than which other D-league or undrafted rookie we should have signed over Tinsley.

And Freakazoid...he is the best poster on this site right now. He is on a tear. Very UB-esque. Numberica...I am starting to wonder whether Tinsley did somrething to a member of your immediate family - you have some very strong opinions of the guy (which are interesting by the way - I had forgotten most of that stuff of his past).

 

[Harambe]

Yeah guys... I can't imagine this guy being any worse than Brevin Knight or Jason Hart.

... Watson will re-sign with Utah. If talk goes well, Watson could return to SLC and soon be in camp.

Earl Watson is still in the picture for #UtahJazz. Discussions are ongoing and a talk is planned for Friday morning to determine if ...

Tinsley's addition to Jazz doesn't remove Watson from picture. Utah has often used two backups and Tinsely's obviously got to prove himself.

Whiny lil Bitches

The ONLY reason, IMO, we didn't sign Watson has to be $$$. No way KoC would've dropped him for any other reason I can think of.

Tinsley has had his issues, but just the fact he was willing to 'lower' himself to play in the D-League says something about his heart and desire. He may be the first 10-year vet to do that. If Eric Musselman, his D-League coach, likes him, I'll roll KoC's call until proven otherwise...

[BluesRocker]

Yes! of course. The backup point has not made any difference ever

BOOM. ROASTED. I think I'm going to have to sign up under a new screen name.

PS - That's not my girlfriend tough guy. Here is even a recent picture of me and my boys from last weekend! This is the tail we be bangin'! That's me on the left with my girl in center!

Thank goodness.

IMO not so much money as years. I'm sure Utah would prefer a 1-yr deal and a 32-yr old PG like Watson is looking for multiple years.

 

[Sneakers]

So much whining over the backup pg spot.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Yes! of course. The backup point has not made any difference ever

Yep. Exactly what people are saying.

Gotta whine about somethin'.

 

[MDAV28]

Well, don't mind the pickup if we get Earl also.

 

[BluesRocker]

WoW! That fat chick in the middle is your girlfriend? She's cute. Nice tail. LMAO!

What is that? The cast of Jersey Shore?

 

[BluesRocker]

Hahaha! Too funny!

What is that? axel greese in your hair? Cute!

 

[NAOS]

Thanks for proving my "humbled" theory to be true. I'm sure NAOS will deny this as him sucking it up just so he can get into the NBA and sabotage the Jazz!

Wow, that's quite a rush to "proof"....
Is your problem the fact that I problematized your optimistic, obviously over-simplified psychology on a guy who has a long-*** wrap sheet? You should have better things to do. This is a wonky signing, and your rushing to the apologist side of things so quickly is the odd thing here, not my non-reductionist psychology

 

[BluesRocker]

LMAO! It is your girlfriend in that picture. It's her. She looks exactly the same as the other picture

 

[Guitaro]

I'm not sure I've come to terms with this.

Lol, nice.

Perhaps the contract has a team option after camp or a certain amount of time?
