Jazz Sign Patty Mills

[FalseFlagg K]

Will Hardy is coaching. Odds of him being that are much higher in Utah than elsewhere.

Yep. He gonna “earn” his minutes

Brother he just played for Quin Snyder and Eric Spoelstra and sucked. He sucks. He's not good anymore. Maybe he can have a good game here and there, but he is going to be bad.

Patty averaged about 17 ppg in the Olympics and shot decent percentages. Maybe he is not totally washed.

I have a feeling I'm unreasonably high on Will Hardy fr

Yeah I've seen Patty struggles in NBA so maybe it's my time to stop thinking Will Hardy can pull off all kind of miracles.

It's not a scheme thing. He's old. Hes a guy that relies on quickness to create separation to get his dribble jumpers off. I watched him struggle to create quality looks against Jokic in iso. He doesn't have it anymore. He can summon it for a game or two like he did in the Olympics, but he can't do it against NBA players during a NBA season.

Defense can also be covered up a little easier in Olympic play. Dude will get cooked on that side of the floor. After getting his feet wet Collier should be able to cook Patty enough in practice to make it obvious who should be playing.

Patty there to provide leadership and waive towels like a mfer.

Honestly, as long we be starting Collins - which I believe won't change this season because of his still sizeable contract (next we should trade, dump, or just waive him), what happened to him when he no longer was treated as a centerpiece in Atlanta, and what benching him (even more for kids or minimum salary level players) would mean to the FO decision of trading for him - either through him playing as PF or C (tho I believe he'll play more as a C, and I that being the case because his whole NBA career he's been better as a C, not a PF), we'll have a decently high scoring collective attack that doesn't match the consistency and star power of most franchises, thus still losing a ton, even more being at the western conference (only the Blazers should be as bad or worse in the same conference).

If we need to go hard on the tanking just tell Lauri to go spend time with his kids and call It a day,

How Jazz should do that without NBA's big bos named Adam Silver figuring out that Jazz really are losing on purpose sitting Lauri or removing him on the roster.
Do you understand that if / when Jazz get caught for losing on purpose for draft tanking that means stiff fines and losing the lottery pick.
Also NBA's player association will have their word to say on Lauri's situation.

This signing scares me

It should concern all of us a little bit. Based on what we have seen the last couple of seasons he will play vets regardless of how bad they perform.

 

[Jiipee84]

Jazz starting 5 should be next
PG Mills,
SG George,
SF Williams,
PF Markkanen
C Kessler.

Mills was good in Olympics so he and Lauri would be great duo.
I wouldn't be surprised if / when Lauri has once again allstar season
if he and Mills get their pick'n roll running smoothly like Conley and Markkanen did then that might cost Jazz the tanking to Cooper Flagg.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I think Patty will play the 14th or 15th most minutes this year.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I think Patty will play the 14th or 15th most minutes this year.

I think he gets a pretty consistent 10 mpg early on. I would guess he ends up being like 12th in total minutes.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

And no one thought Simone was going to be a trade deadline player last off-season... And again, a lot of people on the forum thought KO/Ochai were legitimately bad during the season and no one saw the Jazz being able to get a first rounder for them.

The Jazz will try to do a fire sale of the vets they don't view as long term pieces. That's going to happen. Will they be successful? Remains to be seen. A lot can happen. An expiring piece on a contender might have a season ending injury and suddenly someone is interested in Jordan Clarkson if he's having a solid season.

In order for him to hit 3’s on an average clip he’d have to stop being JC, and be more selective

Collier right now is our backup point guard. There is a good chance he's not ready for that yet.

not ready to tank, are we trying to win??

Your joking right?
