Ersan Ilyasova to sign with Jazz per Jordan Schultz

[Saint Cy of JFC]

There was no avoiding the tax with or without Ersan. This will add to it but the tax won't be bad this year so not a big deal. The LT issue is the repeater tax in 2 years and the huge bill we could have next year.

I'm guessing he takes Niang's minutes. Maybe Quin decides to try 5 out but I doubt it unless Favs needs a break.

Is Coach Bud running our front office?

Yeah, my guess is that this is more Favors motivated. I don't think he's taking Niang's minutes.

It's crazy that he's the same age as Conley and Ingles. For some reason I was thinking he was at least 3 or 4 years older.

He was drafted in the same draft as DWill, CJ Miles, Whaley and Andre Owens ended up with the Jazz. So there is some wear on his tires' treads. He was selected just after CJ. He was just hanging out waiting for a phone call. I wonder if he and Snyder were together when Quin was a Hawks assistant.

He’s our LeBron stopper.

I am torn. I do not know whether to be ambivalent or apathetic.

Reminds me of the time I suggested trading Dead-Weight-Empty-Calorie Kanter for Ersan.....

.... and got flamed around here for it.

This dunk on Ilyasova is probably my all time favorite Favors moment.

I found this from three years ago: "“Ersan is a high-character, veteran player who gives our team an additional shooter to help spread the court,” said Bucks General Manager Jon Horst. “He has a team-first mentality and brings toughness and energy to both ends of the floor. We are very excited to have him and his family back in Milwaukee.”"

Good find.

3 years ago. How much of that is left?

I actually like this signing. I hope they’re also open to other moves, of course.

And honestly I'd be fine with the move right now if we didn't have Niang. Niang and Ersan are different but also kinda the same.

Just had my eyes on something bigger. There will be some semi-earth shattering maneuvers with some of these teams. Like when/if Denver trades for Kyle Lowry... re-arranging decks chairs for bench redundancy seems a bit conservative.

Let’s hope they’re still pursuing some other stuff

I share your worry.

You just defined the jazz FO. This is the most jazz move they could make.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

That **** gonna be in my head a week now... ain't complaining.

According to Woj the contract is for the rest of the season.

So who do you want to ship out to get something bigger?

Damn, this makes me nostalgic for the Favors that could jump.

Dudes,

Ersan has some dawg in him. We need more of that, plain-n-simple.
