Free Agent Rumors Thread

I had a few players i was considering but i went with Honeycutt because hes the best 3 point shooter that I think the jazz would gamble on.

Michael Beasley isnt an option, i dont think, hed be the craziest 13th or 14th man ever added to a Jazz roster for certain if it happened, which it wont.

Wesley Johnson is Wesley Johnson but he shot 37% from 3 last season. Do not want.

I was considering some Summer league guys, Amath M'Baye has alot of talent but isnt reliable from 3 like Honeycutt. Ronald Roberts Jr. belongs in the D-league, I'm on the fence about him vs Malcolm Thomas.

Devin Ebanks IS reliable from 3 he shot 44% from 3 last year in the d-league on 5.1 attempts per, he'd really be an ideal fit, the Jazz wont sign him though, Arrested for Marijuana possession last year, might as well go for Beasley. Too bad though hes balling in the SL, and is a Brooklyn Native.

Aminu is a non-shooter but hes capable of knocking down mid-range shots, just doesn't look for it much, I still think he works here, I really dont want to face Aminu on the Spurs.

Francisco Garcia is a reliable 3 and d guy, has been for years, my only issue is that hes going to command minutes to preserve his career.

Honeycutt's rebounding is really, really, really good though. 27 rebounds in the last 2 games, maybe that 9.3 rebound per game # wasnt a formation of playing in the Israeli league.

This.

Except you think Honeycutt can shoot the 3, I don't think our FO thinks he can.

And yeah Garcia is probably the most likely candidate out of this group given his ability to consistently shoot the 3pt shot. Hence this headline here last week:

I not so certain about that, The Jazz worked him out days after he committed to the Heat Summer League team, I bet the Jazz would've loved to have him on the squad this summer.

Word is Honeycutt had more lucrative offers than the 1 mil/ 2 year deal he signed in Russia, but that deal has an NBA out, so hes going for it this season, at 24, i wish him luck.

Its not all about his shooting either, like i said you can put in Hood, Novak or Hayward at 3 if Shooting is needed at every position for whatever scenario.

Honeycutt put up 15/9/4 with 2 steals and 1 block a game, hes a well rounded player, I can list probably 50 SF's not in the NBA who can shoot it(dont need to look much further than Erik Murphy), thats not what we need though, thats Novak's job.

On the last game of the regular season he had 18(on 6/9 shooting) 17 rebs and 7 assists with 2 blocks and 2 steals

Put me on ignore and dont respond to any of my posts then, i dont give a ****, I'd much prefer that.

The Jazz worked this guy out... 2 months ago, how far fetched is it really?

Yall complained about the Al Farouq Aminu campaign and there was David Locke tweeting about him last week.

As i've said before in other threads I've hit on many of these type of under the radar free agent signings. One of the original players i repped like this was Steve Novak (he then proceeded to lead the league in 3pt shooting and land a 4 year 15 mil deal)

Im quite certain that Malcom Thomas and Ian Clark do not have what it takes, so im actively trying to find replacements that id prefer, the talent pool in FA is thinning out quickly.

Thank you thank you thank you very much. I read that most of Ian's contract is guaranteed on August 1 unless he is waived, Murphy has $100,000 coming to him if he's not waived by August 1 and Thomas is totally non guaranteed. He has to make the team to get paid.

Great news, thats plenty of time to replace these bums with fresh blood.

So you said that lindsey only wants good shooters for thier position at every position other than center.

I brought up exum (you know, the guy they just drafted to be thier franchise player hopefully) who is a very poor shooter from three point and from the line.

You are incorrect about your original point.

Of course now you will spin it and change your original point to try to make it so you are not wrong still.

The draft is different from FA. You aren't going to pass BPA (especially in the early lottery) up just because their shooting is questionable. KKK does have a point that DL is probably making it a point to get players who can shoot in FA.

Family friendly, hahaha, that term does not apply to me whatsoever. I do not belong here, I'll do ya one better...

Its time for me to quit, my time is done here. My new years resolution was to stop explaining things to people and I'm using this website as a loophole to bypass that. Consider this my signing off post. Good Luck, Ill be watching/Lurking.

Maybe ill be back for the draft next year, thats about it though.

I've extracted more info from this forum than I could have ever had hoped, thx yall. now im just sort of wasting time, its been real.

Don't let them run you off PGAB. The board is better off with you here.

But if you do leave then good luck to you.
 
PG_AB is a good poster, but if he is being run off because he's tired of explaining things to people, then sayonara.
WE all have different opinions. That doesn't mean someone is right and the other person is wrong. I'm pretty sure - but don't have a link - that Sloan, Layden, KOC, Lindsey, Corbin, the Millers and all the scouts for the jazz have disagreed over players many, many times.

I guess this solves it...PG_AB is, in fact, Dennis Lindsey.

Why all the fuss over the 13th and 14th players on the team? How many minutes did Thomas, Clark and Murphy play last season? I can argue for why Clark and Thomas would be good fits for Utah. Basketball-wise, I can go back and slam Lindsey for trading Garrett instead of Lucas. But you know what? There are reasons we aren't privy to unless we're part of the process (which, to my knowledge, none of us are). And the second point is, it really doesn't matter who the 11th-14th (or 15th) players are. These guys may get in every fifth game or so (in a blowout) and play 10 minutes or less. Lindsey could sign his son and it wouldn't matter basketball-wise. IMO, what you DO want from non-rotation players is high energy and great attitudes. I'll take 4 Jeremy Evans, please, to sit on my bench or be inactive in the stands.
 
^^

He is a BBall junkie to the extreme. Nothing wrong with that other than his passion rubs some people the wrong way. I think he is very smart and enjoy his takes, but is acting like baby here.
 
I am tired of wing players that cannot shoot. If we didn't have Kanter, Booker, Novak and Evans then I wouldn't mind Aminu at a back up 4 position.

At the 3 position I have no interest. If he improved his shot each year then it would be worth the risk to see him keep him improving.
But again his outside shot has been consistently horrible since he came into the league.

Second summer in a row, PG_AB. Gotta give you props for staying in character on a 12-month cycle.

LOL .. really? somebody would actually go through all that trouble?? That's really hard to believe to me ... I think he's a real dude though the way he digs up all those obscure potential European draftees and middle schoolers. He has to be real.



I enjoy your take PG_AG however far-fetched they are. You do throw up a lot of stuff, some are hits and some are misses, and no I don't think you've been overly snarky or anything, you've taken the time to explain your points, etc.



The point is lots of people here still enjoy your takes no matter how outrageous they are, but if you've got other things to do then I understand that too.
