Jazz plan to sign Danuel House

[LogGrad98]

Knicks did but didn't convert his 10-Day.

Ugh if the Knicks didn't want him I'm concerned what he really has to offer.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I am more concerned that he can't shoot anymore.

Maybe he could never shoot he just played with one of the greatest isolation playmakers of all time and got a ton of wide open looks that required very minimal effort on his part

 

[SojoDave]

This was a game he had at the end of November. If he is an aveage defender, that means he would be superior to Joe...

 

[Ineptimusprime]

Meh, might as well give it a run.

 

[infection]

He's pretty average defensively

So that makes him one of our best defenders, no?

 

[Gameface]

He's pretty average defensively

So a big upgrade for the Jazz then?

EDIT: Ahh, infection beat me to it.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

He's pretty average defensively

Which given our perimeter defense is an upgrade... if you are a C+ student but the other students are D- to F students then you are the ****ing valedictorian.

Yeah, but a C+ on defense doesnt really move any needles if he is F- on offense. You might as well just play your D+ defensive students who are getting B's and A's on offense

Knicks are actually fairly deep... they don't have the top end talent though.

Hes not an F-... that would be your dude Forrest. Hes a solid spot up shooter... I get he played in Houston but he will get open looks just like Oni/Niang and others did.

He might be the same talent level as Oni but I doubt he will play scared like Oni did. Miye may end up being okay somewhere but he needed time to feel comfortable.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I approve of this signing... this makes sense and is the obvious move imo.... sometimes just do the obvious thing ya know.

We needed some mother effers and House will eff mothers man... even when there ain't any around he will find a way.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

So a few things.... first I need to apologize to the Jazz front office for my debbie downer take on the deal yesterday... couple things changed my mind.

1- The 2028 2nd we sent was somewhat encumbered by OKC already. It is a pick that will convey if we suck *** and our first rounder never conveys to OKC because of protections. So it really only had value to us and OKC. It would be tough for a team to value a conditional second round pick.

2- the cash considerations were actually substantial and even out the monetary value. The front office did good work with the details here.

3- The signing of House to a 10-day is a great sign for a couple reasons: He is a bonafide and semi-proven average NBA wing that hypothetically addresses a need or can help in case of injury. The second reason is he has a past that isn't squeaky clean and has a little bit of an iffy rep. We have to take some measured chances on guys like this... I aint saying go get a guy that has a domestic violence history or that is a cancer, but Whiteside had a rep as a goofy dude that was selfish and not a guy to rely on... he's been great. We have to take some chances on guys.... people have slip ups and there are some parts to NBA life that are icky. Get too many of these guys and it can backfire. Have a strong culture and it can be a non-issue. House's incident is pretty tame imo.
