Jazz Sign Rudy Gay

[Ineptimusprime]

Dammit! When I saw Rudy Gay's name pop up in my notification, I was like 'please don't let it be Rudy Gay!' He'll be 35 in two weeks...

I’m okay paying a 35 year old at $6mil for a year or two. Lowry and KCP just got paid a lot more and are even older.

This is Joe Johnson part two. Very much a short term “win now” move.

 

[The Thriller]

On paper this is a good move. But I’m worried he’s out of gas like Ed Davis, Jeff Green, and Iso Joe in year 2 with us.

 

[Pastramiking]

Two year 12mil. Second year being PO. Not bad at all

Where did that money/room come from? Thought they only had $4.9m exception.

 

[Game6Conley]

This is an excellent signing... Should have had a player like Rudy Gay on the roster long, long ago..

 

[Pastramiking]

Let’s ****ing go!!!!!!!!!!!! Zanik, Smith and Wade ****ing rock!

Think it probably had more to do with Conley than those 3.

 

[Keefe]

Hope he still has something left and it’s not another Jeff Green/Ed Davis

Shut your mouth.

 

[Keefe]

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.

 

[jom2003]

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 ***.

Jeff had a few decent games when he was here. Conley was struggling too. Minutes were definitely there for him to figure something out. Too bad, DL needed that extra roster spot to bring in Rayjon Tucker.

 

[Eminence]

Happy with this signing, think he'll help shore up the bench and give it some stability.

 

[Keefe]

I still want Nader too.

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

Pretty great looking lineup

 

[jazzfan1971]

Pretty big upgrade on Niang I'd think. But, a huge downgrade for Ingles if that is the plan.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Was he linked to the Lakers or something?

Yes. And he is probably the best TPMLE candidate left on the board and they haven’t used theirs yet.

 

[fishonjazz]

I had saw a rumor that the jazz were trying to get Eric paschall. Would rather have got him but I'm happy with this.
I'm liking the moves they have made this summer

 

[campaignist]

Now go get me a pack of Franky Smokes and I’m all set.

 

[Pastramiking]

Still need an enforcer type, a back-up PG, and another wing.

 

[stormkoopacv03]

We probably need a stretch 5 too, as a back up if one of the two centers go down.

 

[NUMBERICA]

A legit stretch 5 would be a nice tool to have in the belt. Would be a hedge on if Doke ain’t cutting it, too.

Time to try to rectify the mistake of leaving Bjelica in the cold three years ago.

 

[Shad]

This is an A+ off season so far. We could have no point guard and Niang as a backup but we now have Clarkson, Ingles, and Gay as an 8 man rotation

 

[Pinhead]

This is a great pickup. It’s not earth shattering, but as good as anyone could have reasonably expected entering into free agency while already being capped.

Now to see if the Jazz bring in a few minimum guys or if Joe or Bojan are traded.
