Jazz plan to sign Danuel House

[Avery]

But if he looks down the bench tonight and they are all out does he have a seizure or pick someone to play? I could see him just staring at the bench and completely freezing up... like when you update your computer and it just locks up.

We only normally run about nine deep so my guess is Paschall, Fitts, Hughes, Butler, those guys will swallow all the minutes and should get them.

House is getting some meals and some frequent flier points.

Would you trade Oni for House and some cash? I would. I always liked House in Houston. He brought toughness and worked well enough as a 3&D guy for them. House started a lot of games for them.

At the very least he has a better resume than Oni and Oni isn't getting time with Quin anyhow so...

My bigger concern here is that Quin doesn't play anyone outside of his "boyz". If we traded for Lebron James, I am not sure that Quin would even play him in front of Bogey.

Ummm. We have a few of those guys in our 9 man roster. Joe. Royce. Forrest.

We have others in our 8 man, Miss Peregrine's Lineup for Peculiar Players rooster. Pretty much all of those guys were fringe players with less upside. Oni, Phillips, Brantley were all from Division 2. Fitts. I mean... we have tried to get fringe players for years. Just a few have stuck.

We could have drafted or signed Lu Dort or Garrison Matthews instead of drafting Oni. I suppose if we had they would be in the same place as Oni today.

Would could have drafted Scottie Pippen for all I care. If he didn't do Quin's bidding then we wouldn't see him on the court. Quin was a DEVELOPMENTAL coach. Now he is NOT a developmental coach. Sucks to be me right now.

This. Won't do us any good to add a pure defensive specialist with no shooting skills. Gotta be at least 35% from 3 to be what we need. Needs to at least be respected from 3 to make sure he's not a dead spot on offense.

People forget this when pushing for the "defensive specialist" trade. We can't have two non shooters on the floor. We put four shooters around Rudy because that's the only way we'll have success and be elite.

I'm hoping Quin falls in love with House the same way he did with Royce. Hustle AND defense is the way to Quin's heart.

Love 10days. Like getting to see him in some real NBA actions before committing him to a multi-year guarantee deal, so you don't have to attach him with your picks to get rid of him in a few years. What an idea.

If he doesnt shoot at least 35% he doesnt see the floor.

I'll bet he plays in one game... I think they are taking a real look at him. I'd set the over/under at 20 minutes during the next 10 days.

He's playing Trent who refuses to shoot and when he does it is bad bad.... so who knows. Also JC is at 31% and Quin has told him to LFF (let the "bad word" fly).

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

House is a vet so I bet he plays at some point. I think Quin hates the unknown and I think you kinda know what you are getting when you play House... well you have a reasonable guesstimate.
