Are you suggesting I violated article 581 of the Temporal Agency's Constitution? That is absurd, sir. Time travel is NOT possible.
 
So is he any good?

The YouTube highlight I saw made him look like a taller and weaker Thiago Splitter.
 
Welcome to the Jazz, Tibor Pleiss. Hope you can help every Jazz fan forget about the guy you were backing up back in Europe.

I don't know why anyone's worried about our budget and any of the contracts we dole out; our current situation is having $25k to spend on a vehicle and we opt for a 2013 Nissan Sentra with 30k miles.

What kind of options are we talking about here? Upgraded sound system? Leather seating? Moon roof? This **** matters when talking about the price, my man.
 
66 out of 90 3's is impressive for first time practice with Jazz, fine tune that **** we've got Memo 2.0!! Perhaps Memo can do some mentoring!?!!
 
Definitely not a bad thing to have another option to backup Gobert at the Center position besides our starting PF & a fringe NBA player. Haven't seen enough film on Pleiss to comment one way or the other on his prospects as an NBA player, but 3/10 (if I'm not mistaken), even with the salary cap as is, appears to be good-great value (assuming he is able to make the roster/stay healthy-ish). As the salary cap rises, obviously (hopefully) so will the value of the contract. If anything, I would have preferred a 4th year/team option (although I am unfamiliar with all of the contractual details/restrictions & assume that the agent preferred a shorter-term deal so as to speed up the process of securing a large(r) second contact).

If there is any truth to the rumor that Pleiss hit 66/90 3-pt shots (again if I'm not mistaken), then his shooting ability as a big-man alone will make him well worth his contract. I was unaware that he had anywhere near that type of range & if he is in fact 7'3", he could turn out to be the most valuable of the assets acquired in that Kanter trade. I have a feeling that the trade will turn out to be one that looks much better for us (especially depending on what happens regarding Kanter's contract/development) in the future than it did when it first occured.

So far, this has definitely not been the "flashy" off-season that some fans may have expected/hoped for, but considering the roster, needs, available resources, etc, this is exactly the style/type of off-season that is consistent with what DL has been doing during his tenure as GM & certainly seems to fit the mold/philosophy of the Spurs regime (staying within your restraints, acquiring & targeting players who fit the system/locker room, not overpaying or prioritizing any individual player, etc). Hopefully there is still a move or two left to be made, but as we currently stand, I expect serious improvement & possibly even a playoff berth/(hopefully) run.

I lost it when I read the article about Tibor being 7'3", and having a 9'7" standing reach.


Can you ****ing imagine? Teams feel relieved about Gobert finally stepping off the court-- oh wait, here comes another 7 footer.





We are absolutely going to **** other teams up next season. I am going to save up some money to purchase plane tickets to Utah in May of this coming year.
