Jazz sign Hassan Whiteside

I like this signing. Whiteside is going to clog the paint like Rodney Hood clogs the toilet. Plus Whiteside is a rebounding machine and adds solid depth.

A 2nd string of Butler, Clarkson, Ingles, Gay and Whiteside sounds weird but it'll end up making our nipples harder than the Jazz offensive playbook.

The upside is Whiteside isn't going to be in at the end of the game. He's not a defensive anchor but the dude is a legit shot blocker. 10-14 minutes a night of shot blocking will be huge for us if he buys into the system and accepts his role.

I’ll co-sign that version of him.

But people acting like he’s a defensive savant: no
 
I like this signing… I think the Jazz are now better this year vs last year. But, I just keep thinking the other shoe is going to drop and there will be a cost saving move that will send one of the guys out for future assets.
 
My biggest worry is that Q now has the tools to run the same defense all regular season..... and so he will.

In fact, I can’t see how all jazz fans aren’t feeling that same chill.

The principles behind this signing aren’t inherently flawed. They’re fine. It’s all up to Q, though, when it comes to how this plays out in the real world.

I’ll be worried.
 
I’m glad we have 3 big lumbering centers. That’s really going to come in handy against speedy teams like the Clippers, Suns, and warriors when they go small against us. Just a brilliant move.
