We signed Emmanuel Mudiay

This is what I’ve been saying. You don’t need to groom and invest in these type of guys, you simply sign them for the minimum in free agency. Time to DedEx overnight to someone who doesn’t know this.
 
zero risk potentially high reward. sums it up perfectly.

it's a basically a Pelican/Julius Randle type of deal. min money. high upside. if we don't like him, he'd be gone by the end of the season. if we like him, he may stick around longer than Conley. we simply can't lose in this deal.


I agree, but Pelicans/Randle was 2yrs 18 million though
 
This was an out of the blue signing. Is he replacing Neto?
Gotta keep up son...........Neto was like SO yesterday. He gone to fit Conley under the cap.


Vets getting squeezed and Zanik just scooping them up.
Can Mudiay help? Who knows. But it's a decent value signing. Rather have him than Nyeto.
 
Probably last chance for exum to do sth. if he sucks or gets injured, jazz will give up on him I bet

Anyone that’s not happy about signing a 23 year old double digit scorer with good athleticism on a minimum contract can **** right off.

Imagine Exum, but instead imagine he’s actually shown something in an NBA game. Also imagine Exum, but instead of paying him $9 million, he’s on a minimum contract. That’s Emmanuel Mudiay.
 
I feel like the Jazz had a heavy talk with Lindsey and he flipped out and said, “you know what? If you think someone else could do a better job, let’s see it.”

Then he got “promoted”, Zanik got promoted, and Lindsey continued doing what he’s been doing for the last two years. Or lack thereof.

I suspect he lasts as long as Favors all while being hurt. I'm excited for the Player's Tribune article. "Thanks Utah for the GDP of a small country"

Lindsey put a 50 win team together and a reason why a lot of these guys want to sign here.

I know. And he also has a tendency to do nothing until his hand is forced, so that embarrassing playoffs might’ve been the best thing in the big picture.

I like to think that Zanik the manic just locked up DL in some broom closet a week ago and just started going HAM on the phones to get **** done.
 
So, I go from 2 days ago hoping the bench wouldn't lose too much of a lead the starters will give them, to actually believing our bench is going to be on par with and potentially better than a lot of 2nd units.

It's going to be a LONG summer waiting for training camp. But hopefully Mudiay and the rest of the new guys can start working out with the Jazz's grizzled vets like Mitchell, Gobert and Ingles. With Derrick leaving, this team has seen a real changing of the guard. No one left from the KOC regime.
 
Mudiay has been one of the very least efficient offensive players nearly all of his career so there’s that. Haven’t watched him much tho, be interesting to see what he’s like

Dead on.

But also imagine Exum not having the posture of an armadillo and shooting like he has a backpack on.
 
I kind of feel sorry for the guys playing summer league. A couple of more days and the no vacancy sign is turned on.
