Draft Day!

Post by bluegrouse » July 29th, 2021, 4:38 am

His portrait is done. Good luck, Nemi!!!

It’s really heartwarming to feel the excitement and pride coming in tweets coming from Portugal this morning. Just type #QUETADAY for a taste.

For example, NBA Portugal is debuting a video they produced in his honor starting at noon in Portugal. Translation: Tomorrow is the day to make history!! And the @nbaportugalcom prepared a little surprise for our @nemi1599 .

Tomorrow at noon join us in one voice to give all the support to our Nehemiah!!

This is great and deserves to have the video itself posted.

This video is so cool... I love that Utah State was flashing all over the video too. And the song was even better than the first rap that was written for Neemy. Gotta add this to my mix of Aggie pump up songs.

Just an absolute pleasure to have watched his Aggie career. His Blue-White debut showed loads of potential, the total domination of St. Maries, the freshman game against Caravacho with the steal, drive, and dunk, beating Nevada, comeback from injury, the entire junior year domination. What a player!!!

Imagine if we could've surrounded him with better shooters. I feel fortunate to have been a witness.

You mean his junior year don't you hipster? Because I think Sam was a pretty good shooter.

It's hard to be successful in the NBA. Skill isn't enough. It's incredible work ethic. I think Queta has that motivation and determination. I think the NBA scouts see it also.

Did the Jazz pick of Butler tip their hand on what they plan to do with Conley? I don't see how they can afford him.

I don't think so. Butler is a bit of a combo guard and can probably play some of both positions.

I'm very confident the Jazz will re-sign Conley. Spending a future first to get off Favors' contract is further proof of that.

Spending that much on a broke down point guard is pretty dumb.

Marc Stein said he thinks Conley will get 3 years $75 million. :shock: Regardless of his salary number, he better not play more than 55 or maybe 60 games. That way he MIGHT be available for the whole playoff.

Here is the tweet. I think it is a poor decision by the jazz to pay that much on a guy who seems old enough he can’t play full time.

Imo the jazz will never go all the way in the playoffs when you pay Rudy as much as they do as he can be played right off the court in the playoffs due to small ball and then paying Conley this much.

But they have to do whatever they feel they can do to compete. For whatever reason, we aren't able to trade 1/4 of our roster and a couple of draft picks for a Westbrook caliber player. Where ever lebron is playing at the time are the only teams able to pull off heists like that.

How about the Jazz offer Lonzo 25mil per year instead?

Actually.. I think that because they're over the cap they can only offer the mid level exception to players who weren't on the jazz last year.

Too bad. Lonzo would be better

I don't care about the $25 mill number. They're over the cap anyway and Ryan Smith can spend as much as he wants in luxury tax. I hate the 3 years. By the third year Conley will be 36 and he was somewhat injury prone at 26...
