What's new

Let's talk (our) Shaq ...

Shaq isn’t going to play any meaningful minutes at PG. that’s not his role or strength. If he plays minutes, it’s not as third PG but as a defender. Think Exum role when they started playing him exclusively as a bench defensive wing.

Watching him in garbage time is worthless. I don’t care about how he’ll run an offense because he never will.
In garbage time he still gets his hands on the ball. He's a disruptive wing defender. If one of Joe, Mike, DM, JC are on the court he shouldn't run any actions. We are able to have two of those guys on the court at all times when healthy.

If Miye plays well I think Shaq is injury insurance... Its clear that Quin has him behind Oni in the rotation. You basically need to get hurt or be flaming hot garbage for Quin to replace you in the rotation.
 
Worst case with Shaq... I think another team would put up a second to bring him over.
 
Financial aspects aside, and I don't think the new owner is counting pennies this way. The Jazz must have reasoned that Trent is better at helping them - WIN NOW. That's surprising to me.
I think Yogi would be the win now guy as he averaged about 9 ppg in his brief run with the Cavs earlier. I think it signals that Conley's injury is not that serious.
 
You think someone would trade a 2nd rounder for a minimum contract player outside the rotation on an expiring?
I do... I think if he doesn’t break his hand he has other offers. He hasn’t played his way out of the rotation... just hasn’t been able to crack it on a deep team... a deep, good team. Now you add in the fact that other teams have had injuries and I think there is a team wiling to get a guy who is cheap that can fill a rotation need.
