This is a questionable Jazz forum until someone explains what the hell DM meant with his tweet!
He was one of the few that did his speaking in the court... which I generally preferAnd y’all wonder why I say that man thinks he’s too good. The face of the franchise should speak.
If you and I have more foresight than dudes getting checks... well that’s a problem. I’m cool with failure... most things fail... but Fail. Different.They needed the depth this year. This year. They don't get this year back. So WHY THE **** did they draft Doke AND sign Faves?
I will never get over how inept those moves proved the Jazz FO actually is.
But he was only available for free twice... so not like we could have got him lolzWhy does that need to be groomed? Go out and grab a Torrey Craig and you don’t need to waste time “developing” that. Just get the final product.
Yea you are reading between the lines. All free agents say this especially if they are not guaranteed a big payday. Personally, I am torn between wanting him back and not. I just do not see how his injury history is going to get better as he gets older. I loved what he brought to the team when he was healthy. I agree with his assessment about getting more versatile defenders.Just reading between the lines from Conley's interview, it doesn't seem to me he's all that committed to being back with the Jazz next season.
Here’s the other thing... really good projects show you something almost immediately... like some flashes. None of our projects have shown anything worth much. To find the good projects ya gotta churn a bit and have a chance at some upside... a rational person sees Oni as a Torrey Craig type... maybe... but actual Torrey Craig is there and available for free. So don’t worry if a guy like Oni isn’t clicking... he can walk with no worries imo. You can keep him around but get Craig too.The problem is when we try to develop something, we stop looking elsewhere. Except with Favors/Udoka. We justified not bringing in a perimeter defender because “Oni is the best defender on the team.” They pump that **** out there to the local media to build up.
Dem hand pads be cray too!I bet all the people in here slandering Oni would shut up real quick if they could take a look at his numbers on the Trey Lyles balance test.
