Travis Leslie:D-League Call up. WTH?

[Stoked]

Anyone know what they said on 1280 and who is on their way out if they picked up this kid?

On 1280 David Locke is just talking about how brilliant Corbin is.

I wonder what surgery they had to under go to get Locke inserted so far into Corbin's backside.

They were saying just how they haven't heard anything official but since Travis tweeted out about it, they assume he's on the team. But they can't make any statement on it until they tell whoever they cut (or talked to Raja.)

You guys have to remember, this is the Utah Jazz.

So this rumor is probably false and nothing has changed or will change.

Who the **** makes a D-League call up rumor about the Jazz? How bored does one have to be?

 

[Tony]

They're talking about him now.

They're talking about him now.

Let us know what they say please.

What I do not understand is why sign a D-Leaguer at all? We do not even play Evans and Murphy as it is. Did someone get injured? Is this Leslie so good that they wanted to lock him up before someone else does?

If you see a player you like, get them. Isn't that how us getting Demarre happened?

I think its fairly obvious that Murphy has no future. Leslie is at least an athlete that can get out in the open court and finish and should be an ok defender. I dont think this move matters at all, but hey maybe hes a baller and we are just scooping him up before anyone else tries to.

Whenever Murphy gets into the game he gets the ball and puts up a terrible shot ASAP. You don't make the NBA that way.

Kay, Locke basically said he hasn't shot well up until his last month in the D-League and that he's very intrigued and he's a good rebounder. Says this is a vintage KOC move to get a guy in March rather than waiting until July and having someone else take him. Locke said the FO is telling him "no comment" about whether they cut someone or came to a deal with Roger.

 

[JFFR]

just watched the D-League All-Star game youtube video... wow. The only thing worse than than the defense at NBA all-star games is the defense at D-League all-star games.

Is there a better diamond-in-the-rough-finder than Kevin O'Connor??


People, please start naming names.


Millsap, Evans, Wes Matthews, Carroll. List continues to grow.
