Yea if you go back and read, you changed your story. Maybe what you had in your head was different, but it sure doesn't read that way. Especially with Teo coming out and saying 3 million after taxes. That suggests he's open to the NBA. So with that in mind it seems you withdraw that he's wouldn't be a legit stop gap as a player. Now you switch to he hasn't decided to play in the NBA. But we already know he's said he will and listed his price.
So he said he's available at 3 million after taxes. Stein just was too stupid to understand how Euro ball pays. So now it falls back on the FO... which is what I was complaining about. And I'm not set on a particular option, I just advocate the FO is behind the 8 ball on this... even when Exum was healthy.
Tell me what my story was? You always change peoples words and ignore them when they disagree. I don't even care to argue at this point, the message has been consistent. Teo will not playing in the NBA this season, therefore he is not an option. No high level overseas PG will be signed as a free agent. Anyone that understands windows and timing can see that.
You first tried defending the FO by saying no Euro were good enough to be considered a stop gap. Then pivoted by saying Milos should not count simply because he does not want to come over. Then you were reminded that he did indeed express interest and say his price.
That puts the ball in the FO's court. It'd be a lot easier to just note that how the FO is handing the PG position is questionable. That doesn't mean it won't work out in the end. But even before the Exum injury the PG slot was the weakness of the club.
I never said that Teo was not good enough, not once. Never even insinuated it. If that's what you have in your head, go for it. It's impossible to have a good discussion here. Every comment I have had has addressed the availably of Euro PG's, not their ability. The only time I mentioned Teo's ability was in a statement that said it doesn't matter because he's not available.
Teo has also said that the NBA is not for him, many times. A few Marc Stein tweets and now you think that changes? If he wanted to play in the NBA he would be here. By the way, the Jazz do have an excess of $6 Million in cap space available. I hate to break it to you, but you're not the only person in the world who knows who Milos Teodosic is. The Jazz know who he is. Either he doesn't want our money or we don't want to give it to him. You can take a guess at which one is true, but they lead to the same conclusion.
