David Aldridge: Jazz come to terms with Jamaal Tinsley

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Here is my positive spin: Tinsley seems to have been a selfish prick in the past. He got booted from the NBA and no one wanted him. I'm sure this has humbled him. This is his chance to prove he can still contribute 10-15 minutes off the bench. I don't expect him to be a problem.

Holy Moly, I think KOC just lost it. I saw Jamaal Tinsley play in a D-league game on NBA TV. He looked like he can still play, he still can't shoot for crap. Let's hope this was a camp invite instead of a multi-year deal.

This is good because I do want the Jazz to suck for draft picks. But it is still frustrating to watch KOC in action. Because all he'll do is find a way to be right in the middle. Not good enough to win a championship and not bad enough to get a high draft pick.

Number 14 pick and no playoffs here we come

I HIGHLY doubt it's a multi-year deal. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a non-guaranteed deal.

I have a feeling it will be a small deal. Max 2 years, would not be surprised at 1. Like a tryout for him to prove he can still be a productive backup PG.

Which would also explain why they didnt sign Watson. Maybe Watson wanted 3 years and KOC SAID " NO NEXT YEAR WE ARE DRAFTING THE GREAT KENDALL MARSHALL AND HE WILL BE OUR BACKUP, WE WILL GET LOL TINSLEY AND GIVE HIM 1 YEAR LOL"

There HAS to be something Jazz management knows that we don't. This just doesn't make sense..

I'm sure this has humbled him.

You're sure, eh? I'm not picking on you, man, but this is baseless speculation. You have extensive sports psychology experience? Your optimism is endearing, but I'd say it more likely that people don't change.

It doesn't take a psych major to know the effects of not being wanted by anyone.

But the Jazz have always been so transparent about their plans and easy to read.








I need to insert Colton's sig here.

I'm sure the $50 million he's earned and the lifetime of coddling and not having to suffer any real consequences for anything he's done has been real humbling.

anybody who has thought about psychology knows that all situations are complex and over-determined; there are multiple ways to respond to something and the response is ultimately undeterminable. Why wouldn't his situation just cause him to have a chip on his shoulder? You're too optimistic.
