And I'm calling upon the Jazz to sign him.
Yuta Watanabe is a Free Agent
- Thread starter Saint Cy of JFC
- Start date
He's going to be 29 this year....

29 and received very little playing time in five years in the league. Pretty rare for a guy to pop that late that has had chances. Feels like a nice 7-8-9 guy off the bench.
Was unaware teams could only roster players with "pop potential"

Now you've learned something. Take the rest of the day off.
What happened? I thought he was on fire for the Nets?

I mean, if our goal is to get a a 29 year old guy with career high of 16 minutes and 5.6 pts with no pop potential, we may as well just keeping running Rudy out there.
He was then he got injured then Brooklyn traded KD and went a more future facing direction
I’d take him for the minimum we could do a lot worse.
I'd give Yuta 12/3

I’m completely on board with getting Yuta. . .
I have been for several years and was really ticked they didn’t do it last year when DA knew they were blowing the team up. He has length, hustle and can shoot.
Aside from the fact that I think he’s a great fit for the team, the marketing and fan experience of having Yuta in Utah is undeniable. It is still a business after all.
Plus, I’d love to have irrational Japanese fans join the board. DA needs to get this done.

Anyway why would he join us, we’re going nowhere fast compared to other teams?

He was a college teammate of the legendary Tyler Cavanaugh. I'm sold.
That’s just crazy talk.
