Jazz sign Svi Mykhailiuk for 4 years, $15 mil

I think this is tank neutral or tank negative in a vacuum but it does seem to indicate no big move coming so it might be a tell. Idk… this one weird as ****. Maybe he’s an asskicker in practice.

I’ll always remember Svi for being a mega hyped prospect. I think he was only 16 at the Nike summit? Crazy that was 10 years ago.

Then everyone found out he had a negative wingspan and they stopped caring

Obviously this is connected to Lauri's extension. Duh.

Just the NBA doing NBA things. Agents matter.

That makes sense for power agents, but Lauri's agent is not a power agent.

It could be agent related or it might just be he was a guy willing to sign this type of deal and he has a good reputation.

No big move? This is the biggest FA signing since AB coming back from injury.

Could be a "we were gonna sign someone... we give this guy a deal for playing nice with our star player even though we shopped him a little". Like a "thanks for not being a dick" present for his agent.

I really think most of this in non-guaranteed unless DA really likes Svi for some reason.

Sounds like Svi is looking for more playing time then he got with Celtics
So he must be expecting to play more with Jazz

Which time lol.

Was Svi in Boston at the same time as hardy?

I think we should have picked between Juzang/Svi and kept Bazley. These moves hardly matter but it’s the middle of August and there’s nothing to yap about.

Maybe, but Lauri's contract is by far the biggest payday the agent has ever had. A deal like this isn't really necessary for anything, the present is the contract Lauri got. I would lean towards it being a coincidence, but maybe not

Svi did win a ring, so he has experience to know how champs practice and what not
