Jazz Sign Rudy Gay

[Keefe]

Frankie Smokes or Dante? Who do you prefer?

Smokes. Tough to sign a player who’d dead for having no heart.

Actually, I’m liking Dante the more I think about it:
-Dante gonna have SPACE and/or Gobert, and I can’t deny he was good at connecting with Rudy on lobs
- if he’s a specialist, maybe he gets exactly as much rest as he needs anyway
- I love stories of redemption and reconciliation.

I just can’t. There’s too much gutless, excuse-filled AK in him.

You drunk today, man? Never thought I'd see a post like this from you.

I like to be inclusive

We both know that’s not true.

I'd take Bey over both Frank and Dante.

Nah. AK was pure heartless goo, I really think Exum’s body just isn’t cut out for professional sports.

But maybe if he hardly plays it’s different.

It’s not Bey versus them, it’s Bey vs, Oni/Brantley/etc

We are not signing Dante/Frank to run the point. We are signing them to be our wing defender, which is exactly the same role as Oni. Butler should be our point guard for the future at this moment.

I am aware and have been making that point.

I know you wanna believe that Tyler Bey is ready today, but he’s pretty raw and he has to earn his place on a championship rotation. Period.

As does Butler in terms of earning minutes.. Folks are giving a ton of credit to someone who has never played an NBA minute. I hope he is everything we want him to be but I wont be surprised if he gets little time this year.

Never said Bey is ready. Just saying I would take him over Dante and Frank. Neither could contribute to championship rotation right now either. In fact Frank and Dante’s NBA career could come to an end this summer.

Do you understand that I am advocating for having Dante or Frank AND Bey?

Literally shocked.

Ehh. Kinda? People saw Bey as someone that needed to change his game in some fundamental ways to work in the NBA. Butler looks like an NBA rotation player today. His handles, range, and vision are there. I honestly doubt the Jazz even keep the pick at all unless they were drafting someone they seriously believed could contribute in some way this year.

Butler is a borderline lottery/first round talent who has multiple skills that translate to the NBA. Teams give up proven NBA vets for draft picks to take guys who had play zero NBA minutes all the time. Of course anything can happen but Butler is definitely the best PG prospect we've had in a while and good chance he helps us right away.

Conley, Butler, Neto

Mitchell, Clarkson, Exum/Smokes

Royce, Moody, Hughes

Bogey, Gay, Paschall

Gobert, Looney, Azubuike

TW: Forrest, T. Bey


Who says no?

Yeah but roster spots are limited so unless we move both Oni and Brantley(it really should've happened already) we don't have the space for both of them.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Gay is half the cost of Thad Young and probably just as good.

Yeah, okay. Cut them. Oni sucks and Quin won’t play Brantley. Easy.

That’s the best way I’ve ever heard anyone describe Niang. Momentum killer
