Jazz Sign Rudy Gay

[Ineptimusprime]

This might actually make a Joe (or Bojan) deal MORE likely...

Stahppppp…

You may be right. I hope it’s Bojan. Joe and Mike’s kids deserve to go to school together, and I want to see Ingles retire next year in a Jazz uniform.

Dammit! When I saw Rudy Gay's name pop up in my notification, I was like 'please don't let it be Rudy Gay!' He'll be 35 in two weeks...

Jeff definitely had something left when he signed with us. DL just wanted Niang and Rayjon Tucker instead.

He played as if he decided he didn’t want to be here, he was good in the beginning, but as time went on, he was a little bitch, had bad body language and there was no fight in his play or hustle. He had to go.

This is a win-now move. And a pretty ****ing big one. Snaked him from the Lakers.

Let’s ****ing go, y’all.

Was he linked to the Lakers or something?

They waived him because he was pouty and refused to do **** for some reason. Then he went elsewhere and killed it. Shot like 40% from 3, rebounded, played solid D. No ****ing clue why he refused to perform while he was here but here he sucked ***.

Something was up. Wish I knew what it was, but I didn’t think he looked terrible here either. You can look back and see that the clearer culprits were Ed Davis being simply putrid, Mudiay finding his fit in the offense, and Joe trying to lead a bench with nobody to work off of.

In the midst of all of that, Green actually looked like one of our better bench players, and the reality of our catastrophically bad bench play by itself might have been the issue.

I’m okay paying a 35 year old at $6mil for a year or two. Lowry and KCP just got paid a lot more and are even older.

This is Joe Johnson part two. Very much a short term “win now” move.

On paper this is a good move. But I’m worried he’s out of gas like Ed Davis, Jeff Green, and Iso Joe in year 2 with us.

Two year 12mil. Second year being PO. Not bad at all

Where did that money/room come from? Thought they only had $4.9m exception.

 

[Game6Conley]

This is an excellent signing... Should have had a player like Rudy Gay on the roster long, long ago..

 

[Pastramiking]

Let’s ****ing go!!!!!!!!!!!! Zanik, Smith and Wade ****ing rock!

Think it probably had more to do with Conley than those 3.

 

[Miggs]

Hope he still has something left and it’s not another Jeff Green/Ed Davis

Shut your mouth.

 

[Miggs]

Conley-Butler
Mitchell-Clarkson
O’Neale-Ingles
Bogdanovic-Gay
Gobert-Doke

What do we need? Someone like Chiozza in case Conley goes down? Another long 3-4 who is versatile? Nothing at all.

Jeff had a few decent games when he was here. Conley was struggling too. Minutes were definitely there for him to figure something out. Too bad, DL needed that extra roster spot to bring in Rayjon Tucker.
