Former Jazz players around the league

[HermanG]

They do look better but if you look closer at those last games: they played them all at home, both Nuggets and Clippers were on a second game of B2B (Clippers sitting Kawhi and PG) and in their game against the Blazers Dame couldn't hit a shot and Nurkic fouled out in a middle of a 4th). Next one is Rockets but we will see after.

They got easy goings until January 25th, after which they dive into total schedule hell for their last 33(!) games.

Only 3 games against bottom 6 teams after that (1 vs Hornets, 1 vs Magic, 1 @Spurs) and like 22 of their last 33 are against teams with winning records.

Rudy had a great game tonight, 25 points 21 rebounds and 2 blocks. He also had a couple of funny bloopers.

I know that wasn't a pass, but it actually looked like a pass. Like if that was Jokic we'd all be going vrazy

Poor Rudy with the dribble and miss layup , I’ll never know why he just doesn’t dunk that

Probably has something to do with it being pretty difficult to jump as a giant with past knee issues

Yeah he has been a very solid supporting player (along with Simmons) enabling KD and Kyrie to carry them to those 12 consecutive wins, but this time he was bad.

Royce has been way better than solid. He's been fantastic in his role. Was an absolute steal for the Nets to get him with a late first. Perfect fit for their roster.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

George and Kawhi were both out tonight.

Clippers are still a solid team even without their stars and they have consistently been the best team at exposing Gobert, so it's still a great performance

Probably should just jump an inch as he is 10ft tall ,

I figured he’d end up there awhile ago. He’s washed, but it’s always nice to go home. Still sucks that we traded a draft pick to get rid of him so we could sign Rudy Gay.

Did he get released? Or did I miss where his contract expired last summer?

He was traded to the Rockets in the offseason and they waived him right before the season started.

He was traded to the Rockets in the offseason and they waived him right before the season started.

Why didn’t we offer him the MLE? Did I miss where DL got traded? I was assured he was still part of the process, and that he was still “100% personally invested in the future success of the Jazz.”

The strategy of “make you a consultant” is the executive version of the TPE. You trade your guy and assuage everyone’s fears about how “oh now we have a TPE we can use,” and all the media push the TPE value in all discussions, only to never mention it at all the next year when it quietly expires.

“Oh yes Dennis is getting promoted.”
“Dennis? Who’s Dennis?”
