Jazz sign Hassan Whiteside

[Release the Kraken]

Can't wait to see our "big" lineup.
Ingles
Paschall
Dok
Whiteside
Gobert
We get all the rebounds

Ready to play bully ball with the Lakers now! And the fact that Paschall and Gay played some five recently, small ball with the Clippers as well!

 

[The Thriller]

I really hope Quin plays Gobert/Whiteside next to each other just for ***** and giggles

Why not? Didnt Carlisle play Porzingas and funny cave man together at times?

Also last-second defensive possessions where Rudy is on the floor and Whiteside guards the inbound. I doubt Quin does that, though.

If Hassan is just one year chances are good they keep Udoka

Why not occasionally employ a double low post offense? It would throw a wrinkle at teams playing small ball and force them to make adjustments. It would also allow some interesting zone type defenses.

Obviously I don't know how to post a tweet.

Just copy the link and post it.

Thanks

So we now have the rich mans Rudy (according to 2017 Twitter)

I believe it! I mean in the sense that he's known for being rather high maintenance.

I know it's just summer league, but the way Doke has been playing makes me wish we just didn't sign Whiteside and rolled with either Doke as EP as the backup 5.

I know it sounds stupid, but so did small ball 5s a few years ago. You have some “crazy idiot” who does it and everyone kinda laughs. But then everyone does it and it’s “well, yeah, of course.”

Thinking with Rudy, Hassan, Udoka Jazz can get 48 minutes of rim protection
That will put a lot of pressure on teams to make threes
That may make the difference

We're going to pioneer the 5 in lineup obvi.

Except that was done for most of league history already.

Pre 3-point era is ******, stupid basketball. I know you’re joking, but for those that yearn for the days of posting up both bigs all game long: that basketball sucks and there’s a reason it has already died. It theoretically can work, but it requires players the Jazz don’t have.

A possibility that this could open up if both Whiteside and Doke are doing well is resting Gobert some games. That could carry significant utility.

TJ said on Checketts show that Whiteside was the second guy they went after backup center. They thought they had their number 1 target but then another team swooped in at the last minute and offered him the mid level.

Which centers for mid-levels?

Theis maybe? JaMychal Green? I don’t know where to find that particular level of information (if it’s MLE; if Tony is coupling the TPMLE with MLE).

 

[idiot]

Theis, Noel (maybe), Z. Collins, Len, Lopez, McGee, Dieng all got somewhere between the MLE and minimum.

I don't know who fits the timeline best.
