Can We Please Just Waive NWG?

So I'm going to go ahead and call my shot. We're going to watch the problems unfold this year, then going into the off-season there's going to be talk on how we plan to bolster our perimeter defense. This will all be the prelude to us using most of the MLE on Exum. Then we'll get commentary like "solid move, you see that the Jazz could really have used Exum's services this year" from a number of media sources.

Just think about being Miye or Niang and learning the Jazz brought in a guy that could take your playing time... they gonna work harder or pack it up. It isn’t just Shaq. There are other guys out there that are way more useful. Most of us try to get value out of every roster spot we have on our fantasy teams... I expect nba franchises to do the same. The current depth chart works well until Bojan isn’t ready to start the season or Mike’s hamstrings act up and another guys gets Covid and is out for a month.

And those guys won’t be there even if @Saint Cy of JFC says they will be... they go overseas or get signed by other clubs. No G league season so you won’t find a diamond there. Hell the g league mvp is a point guard and is unsigned. If NWG was a free agent no one here would be looking for us to ho get him.

This is the same front office that kept Exum too long and picked up TBs options only to have to dump him... there isn’t some mind blowing end game... they simply don’t make a move because that is easier.

I guarantee we would be calling for NWG if we never brought him over and saw the kind of play he would be delivering in Euroleague. It already happened lmao

If he was on another team and had his current g league numbers no one would be clamoring for him.
 
Shaq could be the difference maker in several games and especially the playoffs if injuries occur. If we have to play NWG in the playoffs - we'd be holding our breath, every second he's on the floor.

When every possession matters (in the playoffs) a defensive point guard who gets things done can be HUGE. The Lakers should probably try to trade and get Rondo back on the roster before the playoffs - he was instrumental in their winning the championship last year. Without him, the Nuggets series and Miami series both would have gone 7 games - and then both of those could have gone either way.

We had his rights when he was in Europe. Nobody here was calling for him. Nobody cared when we signed him.

No, we'll successively see worse and worse options available that we'll eventually just throw our hands up and accept it.

Good news is we don’t have full MLE next year only the taxpayer MLE... bad news is it’s easier to justify the taxpayer MLE on Bustum.

Anytime you can invest a couple years to develop the next Neto you have to do it. It isn’t like guys like they are available for the minimum currently.
