My question is that with every team having a “policy” that terms aren’t released, how is it that all the specifics get out to a very defined degree? Like, where do the cap sites get their data?This is from the team's press release: "The Utah Jazz have signed guard Kris Dunn to a multi-year deal. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not released." The word "multi" seems to imply longer term than this year and an option for next. I know "multi" is not real specific but if it was for this year and next why not say "two year deal?"
It strikes me that there is a lot of non-guaranteed money in the deal.My question is that with every team having a “policy” that terms aren’t released, how is it that all the specifics get out to a very defined degree? Like, where do the cap sites get their data?
Yeah, the rest of this season and next - next season not guaranteed.It strikes me that there is a lot of non-guaranteed money in the deal.
How did you come to that conclusion?Does this mean were also tanking next year?
Because yours isn't an opinion based in reality. From the get go all you said was that the guy was trash. Then as he got minutes and played extremely well in those minutes you kept insisting that he was trash. As a minimum contract guy Dunn is an absolute home run.Why is my opinion less legit than, say, yours?
How did you come to that conclusion?
Man, it's going to be a shame to lose him...Azibuike (UFA)
You are really something special.Yeah... the honeymoon is just about over, isn't it?
Dunn's propensity to overplay any passing lane he sees, no matter who he's leaving open, is bizarre and infuriating. Casuals don't notice this stuff, but he keeps breaking the team D and is actually often the weakest link, not a "defensive specialist".
There was one play that really encapsulated the Kris Dunn experience. Kessler was guarding Brown 1-on-1 on the paint, had excellent position and definitely didn't need any help. Dunn, hawking for steals as always, left an an absolutely lethal shooter in Muscala and went to float in no man's land, ready to double and slap at the ball if Brown turned his head. Predictably, Brown got stuck against Walker, left his feet and had about half a second to make an emergency pass out. At this point Dunn was ball-watching and not guarding anyone, so Brown lobbed the ball into the corner and Muscala made an easy open 3.
Dunn single-handedly turned a Boston turnover into a Boston three pointer. And he does this **** all the time.
I also think it shows guys that the Jazz don’t just sign vets to ride the pine. If you can play, you will get a shot at the rotation. May help down the road when they’re good enough to be considered as a buyout destination.One of our best late season signings so far, I mean like ever really. He is working into a great backup playmaker. He was a big part of our win last night, damn him to hell...and way to go!!
Not everyone.Kris Dunn per 36 stats:
Points Assists Rebounds Steals Blocks Turnovers 18.5 8.5 6.7 2.1 0.9 2.1
Shooting splits
FG% 3P% FT% eFG% TS% 52.0 45.5 83.3 57.0 59.8
Not bad for a guy who was written off by almost everyone.
