The Royce O'Neale Thread

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I mean, that's still what he's doing. I think he's taken one non-wide open 3 (and that 3 was still "open" but someone actually bothered to attempt a close out) and he clanked it pretty hard. At one point in the Sac game he got two open potential attempts on the same possession and he swung the ball to covered players.

If the "blender" offense isnt in affect and he drives into traffic, he has put up ugly attempts or turned it over. He just hasnt shown the ability to drive and make a move to react to good defense. Right now he can beat one man or he can drive and kick to continue the "blender".

And none of this is a deal at all if Bojan, Conley, and Mitchell are playing well, but he certainly isnt making a good case for starter-level payday playing that cautiously.

I have the fact one got paid by the team that amount and gave him his raise 1st. You have an opinion that numbers don't back up.

Or it is since that is exactly what a 5th option is supposed to do.

One of the best arguments for his starting is that he's only going to take open shots which matters since Gobert's job is to set screens and be the biggest lob target in the league, which sets up playmaking opportunities for three players that at least last year were premier scorers. His precise role is to take the shots no one else gets because the defense is over-committed to the other threats.

Walking the line he is walking is not very common. By the way, another perfect night from the field.

Ingles got paid by the Jazz because they thought he was better. And gave him a raise this year. Royce got paid far less, and still hasn't received a raise.

Ingles got paid when he was a restricted free agent, he wasn’t extended.

Royce hasn’t been a restricted free agent yet.

But bro, he was a free agent in 2017.

I’m not sure I understand this post but I’m sure I don’t understand what @gregbroncs is ranting about.

The Jazz had their chance to give Royce some Ingles money back in 2017 but they decided only to give Ingles the Ingles money and give Royce the Royce money.

That would be an incredibly asinine point if that’s the actual point so I’m going to assume Old Greg is better than that.

I’m not sure what Greg is arguing, but it sounds like that’s what RTK is arguing.

People do realize we have the entire season to sign Royce to an extension, right? I know there were a lot of players that had a deadline of October 21 to get an extension done but with Royce there was no deadline, we can still extend him at any time.

I thought there was a deadline at some point but it appears there is not. Was looking through the articles on Dinwiddie a year ago and it said they had until June 30. I'd offer him something solid but somewhat team friendly now... move up or down later depending on how close they are and if he's still playing this well.

Umm he just got a 1 year extension. But that doesn't change my point Ingles got more because he was worth more at the time he signed than Royce was at the time he signed.
