David Aldridge: Jazz come to terms with Jamaal Tinsley

The next time the Jazz go out and sign a guy that's in his mid-thirties, was never that good, basically hasn't played in years and years, and has a really bad reputation, I'll be sure to do the proper thing and be excited that the outcome is certainly going to be that he'll come back and play at just about peak performance.

Well one would assume that a guy like KOC isn't going to go out and get a problem veteran. I had faith he had done his research and checked out Tinsley's personality and motivations. Also, when you have been black balled out of the league (making millions of dollars) and go to a Dleague contract of 25k, I would assume you have motivation to be a good boy.
 
Bragging that Jamaal Tinsley has been very good this year is like bragging that you know a guy that put everything on green and won.

It's not common for people to reverse course later in their lives than earlier, and Jamaal Tinsley sucked two years ago when he was a fringe player and got even older. No one really knows why Indiana banished him from team facilities, but everyone can know that they paid him around $20 million just to be rid of him. Most people in Indiana think or thought he was a douche.

I'm stoked he doesn't suck, and he's probably my favorite player on the team right now. For the ****ing however many times I've had to say this already. So here's one more.

Copyright infringement. You will be hearing from my attorneys at the Dewy, Cheatum and How law offices.

I don't disagree. But Jamaal Tinsley's resurrection is a complete anomaly. Like hitting on green. But kudos to KOC, it was a shrewd move that has paid off.
