According to Woj, the 2nd year is partially guaranteed. Depending on that number, it may ease most of my misgivings about this deal.

Yes!!!!! Wait....why do we have 4 pg's? I'd be ok with this if Augustine and Watson are discarded.

Shelvin Mack can ball, He's taking Elfrid starting job if Payton doesn't play like a starter. Right now Elfrid is still the starter, but now we got a guy in Mack that will push Elfrid of taking his starting role.

If Mack takes Payton's job for one second not because of injury you just have to give up on EP and never mention him again.

What is Shelvin Mack wingspan? He's 6'3"

He shot 47% from 3 point range in last year's playoffs

http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/6454

He doesn't quite fit the whole description of versatile, long, athletic, can shoot, and defend multiple positions. The only think Mack is from that group is can shoot.

I'm so glad Jeff and John are addressing our need for mediocre players who can't shoot. It's not like this is one of the worst shooting teams in the league or anything.....oh wait.

He shot 300 from three last year. He is a career .321 free throw shooter

Reserving judgement until he actually plays for Orlando. As well as this is the first real move made by management and others may follow.

That's just a hot streak. His career shooting numbers, including last season, aren't good. He's not a shooter.


He's survived on a reputation as being a tough defender, but it's up for debate whether he's actually a good defender. I just think think he sucks. I don't know how else to put it.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Utah Jazz board is giving us compliments for signing Mack.Two posters said this

"Better deal than getting Trey B. Kid will give you everything he has. Well coached and you'll be surprise just how good he really is"- ForeverRDjazz

"He can score well in streaks and is a dog all the time. If you like effort he delivers".-BudTugly

Happy to hear 2nd yr is partially-guaranteed.

Was anyone really expecting more. We are not going to win that many games so this is an ok signing. It wasn't supposed to wow anyone. We are just filling out the roster and with that second year being partially guaranteed it doesn't hurt us that much.

Someone who gets it :) Is it a move that I'm excited about? No. Is he going to come in and have a big impact? Maybe maybe not but it's not this terrible debacle that most around here would have you believe either.
