I don’t know anything about his personality or temperament, but if he really was able to be a dog and realize that if he brought some noticeable nasty and attitude, that he’s be able to fill a vacuum and a role on this team that isn’t really there. Go out there and fight a few dudes and he’s got a lot of intangible value.

He can be the Big Dog or the junkyard dog.

Whiteside gives the Jazz somethings Bradley or Favs didn't.

We got annihilated with Rudy Gobert on the court. Like I said, personnel doesn't mean a damn thing until Quin changes his scheme. If Quin stays rigid and doesn't change his scheme/principles, we're going to get destroyed again.

Jazz need a secondary defender who can rotate over and deter guys getting to the rim on us when Gobert has to step out. Rudy Gay is probably supposed to be that guy in this current group.

Bradley Beal with some strong words on the vaccine and covid... gonna be interested to see how some of these guys get treated.

I hope Whiteside gives us what we thought Favs was going to do. That would be huge.

Kyrie, Wiggins, Jonathan Isaac... some of these guys are apparently willing to sit games out rather than get the vaccine... I wonder if we have any of those guys on our roster? They don't have the mandate in Utah. I just think its a little wild. My wife refuses to get the vaccine too... I've stopped talking to her about it.

This can't be true. I have read on this board that everyone who doesn't vax is a Trump loving racist.

Whiteside is funny. I wonder if he can actually become a fan favorite.

It’s disappointing and more damaging than something like Kyrie saying the earth is flat.

“It’s a personal choice” seems to be the neutral take for those who did get the jab…but I really wish there were more players like Desmond Bane who treat covid like a public health issue….which it is.

Confirmed

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Yeah, IDK how Whiteside is going to react when Quin goes into rage mode against him for missing a rotation or not setting a good screen.

 

[gomretat]

Confirmed

Still confused

Issac is a Trumptard. Wiggins is Canadian. And dumb as a rock. Kyrie is a flat Earther. Thesis still stands.

Not buying. I am vaxed as is my family but know plenty who haven't taken the needle and none of them could care less about Donald. You guys are buying into the media narrative hook line and sinker.

My bad. I tend to link stupid people with Trump. For obvious reasons.

Where are the videos? A couple people on Twitter had mentioned watching the interviews. One of my pet peeves is having to read people’s articles and editorials on selected comments. I just want to hear this in its original context.

Uhh bruh, just go look at COVID death rates in Trump counties vs non-Trump counties.

Of course not everyone who has opted not to vax is a Trump supporter. There are the super weird crystals are my religion type people too and then the general "the government is never to be trusted for anything" types, but the most common denominator is being Pro-Trump.
