Andy Larsen is on point

Not the Shaq Harrison talk
Didn't have to be Shaq... but we coulda used the spot on someone better than Matt Thomas. Houston had a couple interesting wings they likely would have parted with for a second and some cash. Torrey Craig... hell just sign GR3 off the damn scrap heap... he is likely more playable than Oni.

When the front office sucks this hard at filling out the end of the roster you get talk of guys like Shaq... sorry.
 


This is my biggest complaint about Mitchell's passing. I get that he is short so this isnt the most comfortable pass, but that's an easy lob that doesnt have to be thrown hard. Tons of small PG's hit this pass. It shouldn't be hard and it's 100x better than the BS shot he put up moments later. I feel like he misses this pass to Gobert at least once per game.

I can be down with Craig, but Shaq would get 0 minutes on this team in this series. He got 2.5 per game in a series his team got swept and absolutely needed any help.

I feel like it’s a trust thing. I don’t think many of them have faith in Rudy catching anything besides a lob dunk.

He might get Oni minutes. While neither can hit a shot, Shaq at least can fight through screens and has better hands on defense.
 
I have serious doubts that there were vets who wanted to come to Utah that would crack our rotation. And the odds of using our draft picks to get rotation players for this years team is more than a complete crap shoot. Like it or not, we have to make tradeoffs in how we build a roster, even if are willing to go in the tax. I still think Larsen is naive in the way he talks about building a roster. Very easy and almost amusing at times to arm chair quarterback that issue but very little substance, including much of what is suggested on this board. Flame away.

It is fair to say DL and the front office blew it by signing Favs and Clarkson and should gone a different direction with wing defenders. Acting like we could have signed both of those guys and brought in the type of wing defenders who can shoot the 3 is living in fantasy land, especially in this market.
 
And we think Craig would come here and Craig would crack the QS rotation? And he is the difference maker that turns this around?
Torrey Craig cracks the rotation of a team that is ranked second in the league and currently sits comfortably in the WCF. Why wouldn't he crack our rotation here.

We don't need him to be the so-called difference maker. But at least he provides a valid alternative so we don't have to keep watching ten minutes of Niang every night when he was CLEARLY struggling and clueless on the floor
