Noah Will Save Us

Noah has been let go by Charlotte, Portland, Da Bulls, and the Knicks prior to landing in Minny after being drafted behind DedEx in 2014. Red flags?
And on the contrary, DL has been clutching TB with a king fu grip. Is that a sign that he’s part of a solution?
 
I see your point about adding depth and it's certainly necessary but no, Vonleh is a scrub and Mudiay has been Utah's best bench player. For comparison Niang has -7.1 NETRTG while Mudiay has +1.2. He defends well, rebounds better than any guard and is always aggressive yet somehow in control. If he continues his progress I'd not rule him out being a part of Utah's future plans, even in a surprising role.

If Noah was drafted by DL he'd be on a 4 year $50M extension or some ****.

I do think that possibly Ed could work now that the bench unit doesn't include Jeff Green the human traffic cone and has creators like JC, Mudiay, DM and they are likely going to finish the PnR by themselves. We maybe should consider switching up schemes too... we may need different styles in the playoffs anyway.
 
As far as backup centers rattling around Willie Reed and Hasheem Thaebert are available. Dragan Bender was the GLeague player of the month and Justin Patton had a GLeague game of 45 points, 16 rebounds, 9 assists and 6 blocks.
 
Vonleh supposedly has the biggest hands in the history of the NBA.

That's all I got.

Oh JZ shows him those hand pads and DL might tell him to throw a first in to get him... likely picks him up personally with a moving truck.
 
How'd he do on the balance test? You know DL has to see that balance.
It didn't go well when he was 19 but he was overly ambitious with his trick selection on the balance beam and floor routines. He absolutely crushed the uneven bars but it wasn't quite enough to convince DL that he was better than the Australian mystery box.
 
Last night was the second loss of the season that (quite conceivably) rests first on the shoulders of TB. And, everyone should also consider that there’s no way he’s ready for the playoffs. So, something needs to be done.

I like to imagine that we’re just waiting for the wheels to fall completely off in Phoenix.... cuz, ya know.... I need to imagine this because the alternative scenarios are a bit too frustrating.
