Who's Getting Cut?

Who's getting cut?

From my days coaching high school I remember this feeling...
Spend ages agonizing over who to cut and who makes the final roster spot. Then that kid never sees the floor and you wondered why you lost sleep over it...

Oh no. You give Rudy any damn thing he wants and then you say thank you for letting me give you stuff.

Nope. You coach with integrity and give everyone a fair shot. All things being even I am find doing the buddy thing but you don't mess with people putting in an honest effort. Next thing you know you start messing with line ups and not playing the right folks to placate someone. Coach the right way. Players who really care about winning get it and respect you. When you start placating, you lose respect - quickly.

I would never keep anyone because of buddy factor. But I would still keep Neto.

I wouldn't do it solely based on buddy factor, but I would have to be convinced Royce or Joel were like future starter material to cut Neto. Neto is a competent and useful NBA player... he's already proved more than those two... he's safe.
 
O'neal looks eerily similar to Wes Matthews. I wonder if the Jazz will trade Bolomboy and do him a solid.

That's a fair point.

It's because of this kind of attitude that Haywood left SLC. LeBron would fire your *** in about 2 seconds.

Seriously though, you obviously don't make decisions like this when there is a significant difference between players. However, when all things are equal and you're talking about and end of the bench player, you can bet your *** that the FO will take into consideration the interests of your franchise player. Kind of like bringing Joe Ingles in to help ease the transition for your top draft pick into the NBA.
 
If the Jazz keep Bolomboy, that means the Jazz would have 7 bigs on the roster (Favors/Gobert/Udoh/Jerebko/Johnson/Bolomboy). That just seems unlikely.

1) Nothing to do with Gordie
2) Rarely if ever has anything to do with why players leave - they want the best players so the team can win
3) You are repeating me with the all things being equal thing
4) That had nothing to do with why the Jazz signed Jingles

7 bigs and how many guards/wings? about 8? not seeing the problem.

Uhh, you realize there are 3 guard/wing positions (you could probably call it 3.5 with teams now going down positions and playing 3's as 4's). So it makes sense you would want at least 60% of your roster to be able to play some combination of the 1-3.

And again, you have to stress that Alec Burks and Rodney Hood have proven to be very injury prone.

Since 55% are, at least they're really close!
 
Last year I watched some SLS games and I think Joel is improving his abilitys, hope he stays with Jazz! IMO he could become a very good PF.
