MOAR RUMORS

I think what I find the most intriguing about Neto is his demeanor, his comparison to John Stockton : he doesn't seem to expect huge things now but works hard, uses his mind well, and plays accordingly.
 
I have hard time believing that Neto will play next year. We have too many point guards, and I just don't see a trade coming. The meeting is probably just a formality of sorts to make sure they know where he stands so they can keep options open in a case a trade does come up. I can see Pleiss sticking though.

I don't think players fly up for a mere formality. Formality is DL just calling the agent to check up.

this. He also really wanted to join the team last year, and spent something like three weeks in SLC just hanging with the team before he went to play for his national team. If Neto comes, I could easily see the strings going as Exum, Neto, Cotton, with Trey getting jettisoned, and Hanleh practicing w/ the team, and spending time w/ the Stampede.
 
Something to consider - Neto provides a different look to what our other back up PGs do - he's a gritty defender and a distributor, rather than scorer at the PG who doesn't provide much defense(Cotton, Burke, Hanlan). That versatility might be something the FO values enough in order to bring Neto in and release/trade some of the the others.

mate have you been drinking again lol i mean if neto is the backup and that's his style of play then he's doing the same things as X

Yes, and we might need that from a backup. Now we have 1 PG who can play defense and 3 who can't. If I had to choose I'd choose to have 2 of each type if the difference in quality is negligible.

The post you responded to specifically said backup PG, and you responded with Exum, who is not a backup. Pretty straight forward.
