Ryan Anderson

[NUMBERICA]

Can someone give me a basketball reason to not cut Niang and try out some borderline-washed vets? I cannot believe any of Anderson, Noah, or Booker could be less athletic or just... I don't know... turd-y.

A lot of people didn't think Korver could help us last year, until he did.

I'd suggest the Jazz cut NWG but they would never allow that egg on their face. I'm still not sure why he was signed, especially not over Neto.

Kanter giggles at Anderson's defense.

Gawd damn it I hate when we agree.

Jk I don't care at all I'm just trying to be subtle and passive aggressive about our past disagreements.

Idiot.

UNLEASH BRANTLEY

UNLEASH BRANTLEY

Yes. Needs burn. Could he be any worse than Bradley at the 5? While Bradley has been wasting away on the bench and occasional Stars games, Brantley has been playing competitive basketball.

Moreover, watching those highlights of the Stars’ offense was what I was anticipating the Jazz’s offense would look like.

I’d love Noah at the 5 if he can play a decent 14 minutes a night. The defense, rebounding, passing and effort. He’d bring an energy we sorely lack on the unit. I also think he’d offer more fluidity in how Quin manages his rotations. Maybe bring in Ingles halfway through the 1st and have Bojan sit for the rest of the quarter but then come back in at the start of the 2nd (for the whole quarter) and play with Ingles, Noah, Mudiay and Exum for about 7 minutes.

Joe slumping has really sucked the life out of that unit... Locke had a good point though... he's rolling with no passers. Mudiay - No, Green - Nah, Bradley - Nope... so it might not be the best fit for him. The other issue might be the big screen setters. Davis can't catch and finish, Bradley doesn't set great picks and is not the smartest basketball player... so I'm not sure he's in a great situation to succeed.

I agree on Anderson... I think the long-term issue that we need to solve is backup center. Locke talked about running Green there so Dante could take up Jeff's wing minutes. So our third year center... break-glass in case of emergency guy... might not be good enough to play 12 minutes a night... good thing we picked up that option.

If the locker room stuff is not an issue I'd say go get Joakim Noah. I'm not sure he's an issue I just think he's a different dude... he produced well in Memphis... can defend well, elite big for passing, has lots of energy... we ain't got time for Bradley to become an okay backup right now.

Joe is getting many of the same looks that he got last year. He's just shooting 32% on wide open looks. Its not a lack of passers, the ball just won't go down.

Unfortunately - and understandably - Anderson's game took a downturn after his girlfriend's suicide. She was the most known cast member of that Bachelor show. Hanged herself. Supposedly he was the one who found her. I always rooted for him after that. His game was still decent but clearly there was something missing.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Houston was the perfect team for him and he couldnt play. Stop.

Then sign both him and Jeff Withey.
