Can We Please Just Waive NWG?

[Handlogten's Heros]

Lost in all of this is that we could just have signed Neto. An actually respectable 3rd string PG that *locker-room guy/run sets/blah blah argument*.

It was not lost at all... it was exactly what I was referencing.

Receipts please.

Maybe Locke talked about it in a podcast. I'll look into that one too.

He also had the 2nd best net rating (11.2), right behind Juwan Morgan (11.8), on the Stars. To compare the highest net rating on Utah was Gobert at 6.2 (all per NBA.com stats page)


Maybe he just needs a shot.

Amazing... just jaw dropping.

I mean Shaq had a 2.8 bpm on a ****** NBA team and was an astonishing net plus 12.2 (Rudy was a net 10.9 for reference) in the NBA. But those numbers are from the NBA so its probably not super applicable to the Jazz who also play in the NBA... oh wait.

Yeah, I have a hard time with all the "locker room" BS. I can list a lot of bad locker room decisions, like signing NWG instead of Rudy's friend, making a huge emphasis of "friendship is magic" and "we're going to bring the same team back" but then waive Jerebko, etc.

Yeah, Im for signing Shaq.

Sorry for trying to put some optimism on NWG. I guess y'all can just continue to be negative nancys about everything that doesnt go your way.

If Matisse Thybulle was out on the waiver wire and we didn't offer him something people would riot. Shaq is a better overall player and just as disruptive. Matisse is younger and has more potential but is much less complete currently.

NBA GMs just love brand names and pedigree. They'd rather have Mason Plumlee at 8/25 than a number of nba centers that are available at the minimum that are basically as good.

Optimism gets you what? I’m calling it as I see it. You can eat drink breathe optimism it won’t make NWG good... didn’t work with TB.

This reminds me of a term that trended for a brief period of time that DL used: haul. He was talking about the obvious talent of Kanter, which was evidenced by "the haul" we got in return for him. I thought of this because when you said it didn't work for TB, I was going to remind you of the haul we got back for him.

 

[Hekate]

Prove it

YouTube full games. Shaq is a good defender/distruptor but Thybulle is everywhere and he puts his hand on the ball almost every time.
