What's new

Nikola Mirotic

Yeah, but maybe DL knew this would all happen?
I think that may be giving him a bit too much credit. I don’t mean that as a slight. There are probably a lot of things they know that we would never be aware of but at the end of the day it’s as crazy a business as any, with multiple variables, multiple individuals and personalities, and a lot of chaos with likely a lot less predictability than the lay observer would assume.
 
All I know, is that I’m not sure the Jazz should match the offer the Pelicans made.

It was more than I expected them to get for him. If they can manufacture a first from a Favors trade, I’d be okay with that, but I don’t want them to overspend for a possible one year rental.

The guy doesn’t want to lose his bird rights and by all accounts wants to be here. I think everyone is insecure and butt hurt that everyone feels we need a draft pick we can “control” for seven years. People think Niko will either suck or he’ll bail.

Here’s a thought: Hayward was dreaming about Boston while under contract with us. There’s a guy out there under contract with Chicago and you know who he’s thinking about?

Signing to Utah when he's a free agent?

It’s not just about control, brosephine. It’s a lot about price, too.
 
The difference between a STRETCHY 4 and a STRETCHY-PLAYMAKING 4 for this team will be huge. Look at what Boris did for Rudy’s offense last year as evidence. It would also take the pressure off our perimeter guys, who could then be more drilled-in on establishing a rugged perimeter defense. We are at our best when we are guard dogs: intense on the perimeter.

Niko isn’t that playmaker
