Ersan Ilyasova to sign with Jazz per Jordan Schultz

[Jingled]

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

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.

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

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

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.

Dudes,

I also want to say..... don’t look at others teams’ flexibility and get too jealous. We lost ours when we signed Mike. That’s paying off right now, but either way it was gone. Ce la vie.

Just another ring-chasing veteran.

Let's help him get it.

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 older than you think too. 100%

Ersan’s TRB% the past few years has been twice that of Niang’s.

In any case, we still have an open roster spot. And nothing has proved that this move is permanent. But even if it is, we still have a roster spot and none of the guys we want are available now but we do have to sign someone currently, so I don’t think this move means anything, other than instead of bringing in a no-name guy for technicality purposes, we actually brought in a player.

*Arsen Ilyasov

Google that and thank me later. Dude is the NBA's Danny Almonte.

That said, I like his game.

Surprised no one knows this or cares tbh.

Tier 1 Ring-chasers - Laker or Nets
Tier 2 Ring-chasers - Sixers or Clippers
Tier 3 Ring-chasers - Bucks or Nuggets, maybe Dallas
Tier 4 Ring-chasers - Jazz?

That is the problem for sure. It would have to be draft picks (which are in short supply). It could also be a buyout guy if something popped up on the market.

I'd almost rather give the guys on our roster a shot because it increases their trade value and is an investment in their future growth. Who knows... maybe you have the next Lu Dort on your bench.

Ersan has some good things to him. He is a world class charge guy... which is a really under-rated skill. He can shoot and is bigger than Niang... I think Niang has some similar benefits to Ersan and might be a better man-on-man defender.

If they do try him as a small ball spread the floor 5 then I can see this being something kinda cool... so who knows.

And he can hopefully help Favors return to this. Or at least closer to it than he is now.
