Jazz to sign John Lucas III

[crater77]

I'm going to enjoy every minute of this tank. Last year my favorite games were the ones when we would get blown out and the young guys got to play more than five minutes.

This. So long as the kids are making things interesting and developing I'll be stoked. I'd love nothing more than to see this squad loose a ton of close games. Bring on Wiggins/Parker.

Good sign. Milt Pilacio 2.0!

 

[Dr. Jones]

You mean Stefan?

Who???

Good thing about Lucus is though he seems to be pretty good at shooting the 3's.. he shot 37% last year.

That's good at least. I always hated watching Tinsley jacking up threes with the clock going down.

Who???

Helipad.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Helipad.

Oh .. now I see! You're drunk..

So Lucas is four years younger.
Was out of NBA for some time.
Younger with less wear and tear on his body.
Maybe a good signing. They might get better play out of him than Tinsley.

According to Bill Oram, Lindsey and Lucas know each other from being on Houston Rockets. I guess Lindsey respects JL's locker-room presence and such.

I think the fact that Tinsley can't play defense anymore probably was a big factor in the decision.

Lindsey wants his soldiers on the roster.
Cleaning house.
So how many new players now on Jazz?

I never mess, bro. Neverland.

Ew.

What's your stance vs JL3? If the DL argument doesn't convince you, I guess mentioning that Thibs called him one of the hardest worker he's ever met and considering himself a fan of him can't hurt. I like how he'll compete vs Burke for playing time. I don't think Burke will pan out w/o the proper amount of competition. And Burke better doesn't appear to practice after JL3 and leaves earlier,

Derrick Rose credited JL3 for turning him into an all-star.

I don't have much of an opinion. I am in the ultra rare position of trusting the FO.
Anyone that knows me knows that's not my style. I'm opinionated, think I'm smarter and generally obnoxious.. I like the spot I'm in for a change.

Thought the "Ew" was a sign of disapproval over the signing. Misunderstanding then
