Neto Officially signed.

What is always striking about watching highlights of Neto or Exum (game 1) is how much they look for other guys and make nice passes to for great shots. Trey Burke, not so much. Trey works really really hard to get his own, difficult, contested shot.
 
2013 Orlando Summer League Stats
Raul Neto (UTA)
Gms mins pts fgs fg% rpg apg spg bpg
3 16.3 3.7 1.0-3.7 0.273 2.0 3.0 0.00 0.30


that is about 6.6 assists per 36 minutes. Similar to Bledsoe and Conley last season, and a little better than Trey Burke.

I'm interested to watch him play.
 
Supposedly Neto came in last year and trained with Johnny Bryant before playing in the 2014 FIBA games and looked really good.
 
David ‘Dubi’ Pick: Trey Burke isn’t getting much love from Utah. Looks tradable since Jazz favored Brazilian stash Raul Neto.

While I hope he isn't traded, 76ers would be a likely trade partner. They need a PG (only have Isaiah Canaan) and have a ton of upcoming picks in 2016. Not including their own 2016 pick, the Sixers also have:

Philadelphia Sixers receive a 2016 first round pick from Heat. Top 10 protected in 2016 and unprotected in 2017. ()
Philadelphia Sixers receive the Lakers 2016 first-round pick via Suns. (top 3 in 2016 and 2017, unprotected 2018. ()
Philadelphia Sixers receive Thunder 2016 first-round pick via Cavs, Nuggets (protected top 15 in 2016 and 2017 or second rounders in 2017 and 2018) ()

Kinda like you just had lunch and is stuffed, and just want a cup of coffee, then the waitress offers you a deal where you get your coffee and pay $1 for the muffin that usually costs $3.


You say yes to the muffin even though you can't fit anymore food in and say to yourself "Great Deal".

Yeah, but you also know that you have a late dinner coming up and will need a snack between now and then. That muffin will definitely come in handy. (In this scenario the snack equivalent to needing a PG after we trade Burke, or let him go). You don't know exactly when you'll be hungry, but you don't want to pay the 3 bucks for the muffin in 2-3 hours, so you get the muffin now.

And who knows, maybe someone else will really want your muffin and you can sell it for 3-4 bucks at some point.

Great job, that's EXACTLY how I thought it would play out as well.

You better just hope that the muffin doesn't start going bad before you're ready to use it. Some of them get a fungus and it can spread rapidly to your other tastier muffins. This situation can become toxic quickly, and might force you to give your muffin away for pennies instead of dollars, especially if this muffin starts stinking so bad that all of your potential buyers know that you have got to unload it quickly or risk tossing it into a dumpster for no return at all.

Believe me, it can become a very traumatic situation for everyone involved. You might be happy to hear, though, that in some rare cases getting rid on one muffin... even one with fancy sprinkles on top that you invested extra time and care in preparing... can sometimes cause all of your remaining muffins to come together in a powerful way that really pleases the palette. In the rarest of cases your good muffins might even call out the bad muffin after it is gone. This only really happens if the bad muffin has no self control and starts spreading false rumors about your muffin factory or storage methods. If this occurs your customers are certainly likely to get into the action, but the former muffin owner and shop manager should do their best never to say anything negative about a muffin gone bad.

Of course, it can be secretly rewarding for those in the muffin business, when they come across the buyer of their bad muffin and realize the new owner has a tummy ache and can't figure out why.
