Even if Whiteside was coming back I would be shocked if we traded Kessler; he was a defensive beast in college and although he isn't on Rudy's level (who is, center-wise, right?) I think he'll be a good defender who can clog the paint.
Summer League
- Thread starter My2Cents
- Start date
Trade or cut Dok. Keep Kofi, Kessler, and Bruno. I would trade Bojan and Conley for draft capital. Try something new even if we suck.
Personally, I think Bruno pairs well with Vando. And if Aaron Baynes comes out of retirement then try to sign him.
My dream lineup.
Baynes
Bruno
Vando
Beasley
Mitchell

Not ready to give up on Dok. He put up better numbers last year than Bruno has and he's 4 years younger.
Fair. I am just going with my gut on that. Personally I think Bruno could make the games funner and I think he is more balanced and gives more spacing - I don't think Dok pairs well with Vando. I know those are stupid rationales, but it is what it is.
A great risk with our all-B lineup is that Cy's Bitchell nickname will stick.

I get that summer league is exciting when not much else basketball related is happening and I’m as susceptible as anyone to having great hopes for any player that has a half decent game, but Bruno should only get near any sort of role with the Jazz if we’re 100% tanking. He’s been in the league since 2014 and hasn’t done anything anywhere outside 30 or so games with Memphis some years ago. He wasn’t in the league last year. There’s a reason for that. Exum’s career is more impressive. And his summer league certainly was.

Remember when everyone was over the moon with Eric Griffin based on summer league? Even Brantley had a nice line for the Clips yesterday.

I’ll be honest. I did the same thing with Brantley once or twice. Hell, I wouldn’t even mind if we brought him back.

Vando? That's what we're going with? Can we at least get a vote on this? How about some other nickname suggestions for him.
Van the Man? Nah, that's too trite.
Vanity Fear? (notice the spelling of "fear")
The MaxiVan? (as opposed to the Minivan)
Spider-Van? (Donnie may have a problem with this one)
The Van of Steel
Action Van
Vanguard
Jarred Van Go
Any other ideas? Let's get him the kind of nickname deserving of a future star.
Twolves fans are calling him Vando. Sounds like a power Rangers villain name. Hurry come up with something different!

Ho hum.....the Knicks won again.
And we won by 30. We beat the Bulls...you know Jordan, Pippen, Phil and all that. We beat them by 30!
Knicks are strong. Very strong. Jericho Sims is definitely the league MVP right now.
This team is one for the ages:
