What's new

Pleiss

Looks like he is a consistent 85% free throw shooter, and really nice FG% around the basket (mostly hook shots). Less than 1 assist per40 is downright scary. Maybe Quin can teach him.
 
I think what GB was saying was what I was saying ... Jody should've tried to corroborate the source because it was such an outlandish rumor.

And it creates some tension between the player and the team. I'm sure DL had to make a few calls to Derrick to refute the rumor. And even at that, there would still be some doubt in Favors' mind. We don't know the whole story, but given there were rumors last year, if the "trade Favors/bring Millsap back" scenario was completely unfounded, by spreading it, ill will could still linger when it comes time to try to re-up Derrick. Only human nature that he might feel under-appreciated/unwanted.

A big, 7-foot-2 German — center Tibor Pleiss — arrived in Salt Lake City late Saturday night, an airport source informed me.

7-foot-2 center Tibor Pleiss is in town to discuss his future with the Jazz. The fact he's here obviously shows there's mutual interest.
 
Makes sense for him to come over now.

Even if he gets 10 mpg, he will still get way more exposure in the NBA.

If he proves to be a decent backup, he is looking at probably at least 6 million a year on his 2nd contract.
 
Gobert/Pliess
Favors/Booker/Lyles
Hayward/Ingles
Burks/Hood/Millsap
Exum/Burke/Hanlan/Cotton
This is the way I would do the depth chart too. Though I would be fine moving the backup point guards around
 
What a rotten mother-****er. Right, guys?
I never participated in that strange butthurt conversion about jody and his sources but fwiw I like reading jody more than any other local writer
 
He can get about as much time with Utah as he did for FC Barcelona. Ideally, Gobert should play about 30. I know he wants more, but with the intensity he plays at, Rudy should be kept fresh, especially on the back-to-backs and those 4 games in 5 nights stretches. Besides, we're going to be blowing teams out. Pleiss can play a lot in the 4th quarter.
 
After snagging Pleiss, I am 100% all for DL standing pat, and letting this cake ****ing bake.

Let's address further roster tweaks after next season. No Greens & no Carrolls pls.
