Gonna Fly Now - the Jeff Adrien Thread

[catch20two]

Aww man I'm going to miss Rocky. Nice post Knowitall.

Looks like the Bucks will like him as much as we did. Good for him, hope he gets playing time, we all know he deserves it.

I'll say it again. I really wish Cliff would have given Jeff more minutes. He deserved it more than **** Zeller. And I don't get how , Zeller was playing poorly yet Cliff continued to give him consistent minutes when Biz was in the doghouse for apparently not bringing the energy. Oh yeah, like Zeller was bringing that energy right there.

Zeller got minutes because he was the #4 pick and he can do the McBob offense decently well

I agree. Adrien was more of a PF than a C, and it would've done this team some justice if Clifford would've gave Adrien some spot minutes as a backup PF amid Zeller's struggles. Adrien was playing at a 15 PER (14.9 PER, to be exact) level of basketball this season while Zeller has been playing well below average

Adrien is gone now though, so no need to really harp on it, but I'm still hoping that Cho & Co. swallow their pride about Zeller being a top-5 pick and try to sign a quality player that's available to help shore up some depth at backup PF/C

Man, Giannis is so long...he hardly has to elevate to dunk. Kid is going to be something special.

I wish we could have traded CDR instead of Rocky. Guys who play strong & can rebound like him don't grow on trees and are a luxury to have on the bench.

Not sure he was eligible to be traded, I read somewhere on this board he was signed too recently. Then Adrien was logical choice - and well we can't rule out Bucks actually wanted him a bit. I am sad to lose him but at least he started well in Milwaukee and as he didn't play here at all, we didn't lose much except depth (and some camaraderie). If Neal is not to play as PG and Clifforrd wanted to have 3 PGs, Pargo was not an option. Nor was Taylor, even if we would give up on him, Bucks would have to waive physical I guess. Tolliver is key part of our offense, hard to replace. Haywood is injured and i personally think it is not smart to trade him as a throw in as he becomes a dust chip contract after next season, much more valuable trade value then. Rest of possible players have contracts big enough so Bucks would not save money this season which I guess was one of their motives.

Disappointing. Just plain idiotic. Glad he's not on the team to be a distraction

[fatlever]

and maybe decisions like this are why he has had a hard time sticking around any teams lately. He certainly had the talent to be an end of the bench big, but maybe teams were able to spot some character concerns that weren't obvious to the fans.

[HornetJail]

wtf

[Cheeze]

Someone post the clip from Ferris Bueller's Day Off where the valet takes the Ferrari for a ride.

Seriously, though, just stoooooopid. Makes me wonder if some NBA knuckleheads think they can just do whatever without consequences.

[EwingSweatsALot]

Did Rocky just lose every bit of cool he had once his career ended? What the hell is going on with this guy?
