Zach Lowe tells Utah (and a couple other teams) what to do in free agency

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Millsap has ZERO scoring ability. Plus I am just guessing, who knows if the Rockets would even match 2-3 mil a year.

And KJ McDaniels has scoring ability?

He couldn't even must 30% shooting from deep on a team that highly encourages taking every open 3pt shot attempt.

Yeah he shot a better % than Sap, but he was also on a better offensive team and a higher paced offense. Millsap was largely playing a bench role on a bad offensive bench unit without much spacing or fast break opportunities. They are essentially the same player. I will give the edge to McDaniels because of age, but I'm not paying 5 million dollars for a slightly better version(arguable because I think Sap plays much tougher defense) of a guy we pay 800K.

Middleton shot 31% from three his first year in the league. And uhh you do know the coaching staff we have right? Carroll and Millsap developed a three out of nowhere and so did Booker. They would actually have somewhere to start with McDaniels.

Elijah Millsap has been shooting in the mid 30's in 3pt shooting every year in the D-League. Actually shot 39% one year on 3.3 attempts per game over a 48 game stretch.

Maybe there is just a better chance of developing a three point shot from someone who has never really tried it before than someone who has tried and failed.

lol

Laugh all you want funny how Millsap goes from shooting no threes in Utah to making 1 a game in Atlanta and Booker never shot a three in Washington and all of a sudden he hits them in Utah. Just a funny coincidence lmao.

That's a factor of the coaching staff encouraging the player taking the shots.

Sloan didn't want his bigs ****ing with the 3pt line. Doesn't mean Snyder and Atlanta magically developed Millsap's shot, it just means they let him take them.

@Tjonessltrib I'd love to see the Jazz make a run at him as well as KJ McDaniels.

The Jazz reached out to restricted free agent Joe Ingles and let him know of their interest, according to a source.

...

Jody Genessy ‏@DJJazzyJody 4m4 minutes ago

The Jazz are talking contact structure with visiting German center Tibor Pleiss, per a source. The intent is to bring him over this season.

...

Jody Genessy ‏@DJJazzyJody 2m2 minutes ago

As I've reported, the Jazz's top priority continues to be player development. They love their core group and want to see how they improve.

Christ, 4 years 50 million for Thad Young?

I know this whole cap exploding thing, but damn.

 

[♪alt13]

Yet another post where you avoid confronting the points I'm actually making

1) Pushing a guy to expand his abilities will help said player.

2) We have wings that are playmakers to assist Burks in his efforts.

3) Burks is right now more effective w/the ball in his hands than he is off ball. So put the ball in his hands.

 

[NUMBERICA]

This is about playing Alec Burks at the 1 for 70% of his minutes.

You keep saying this and I keep having no clue what you're talking about.

To bake a cake: Apparently it means having sex. So is "shut the **** up and bake that ****ing cake!" to tell a couple to have sex as a 3rd party?

 

[NUMBERICA]

Sign Pleiss, bring Neto if you are gonna cut ties with Cotton or BJB, and call it a season in terms of Free Agency.

Feel free to entertain trades tho

How the **** is adding people ****ing everything up but trading players baking said cake?

Nice, talent really needs to leave the West. Super interested to see how the Mavs address their lack of wing playmaking.

Maybe they will sign KJ McDaniels!!!
