Jonas Jerebko Appreciation Thread

[DelMonte West]

I liked him. Reminded me a little of Eric Williams. Tough, hard-nosed, good defender and capable of knocking down some clutch shots.

[KevinGamble34]

All the best Jonas! Great reliable bench player. Wonder if he was discussed if the sign and trade talk with Hayward.

[Ed Pinkney]

Can't say I'll miss him a whole lot. A bit like Olynyk his good games tended to be spaced out by a fair amount of forgettable basketball. When he stayed in his lane (shoot when he was open, try and defend) he played well at times, including the playoffs. Bad things tended to happen when he tried to do too much. But he seemed like a good dude and team mate, he always played hard and never caused trouble for the team when his role would fluctuate. I always hoped the combined power of his and Zellers contract might bring in a big fish, but since they got the big fish in free agency it has all worked out in the end. Good luck in the city of salt.

This guy never complained and gave everything he had on and off the court. Thank you!!!

I liked Jonas. Good dude. Loved his hustle. He had some dog in him.

He sucked last year during the regular season. He stepped it up in the playoff a little bit as usual. The year before, he had a strong playoffs in our series vs the Hawks.

Thank you Jonas!

I always liked the Swedish Assassin, not afraid to stand up for the team.

Wish he could have re-signed but not for that $.

[AgentGreen]

Dude was playing one of his best seasons, but he broke his nose unfortunately. After that he never played like the Jerebko we knew during the 2016 Playoffs.

Jazz got him on a great contract. He's better than KO imo.

[djFan71]

I still think Brad should start him next to Al.

[AlCelticFan]

I liked Jerebko. Looked like a pretty boy but played like a g.

One of the reddit users made this vid, and it makes me happy to this day.

Epic. F-in Swedish Assassin. I love JJ.

[King Of The 4th]

If the Jazz weren't already better than us with Hayward, they are now.

[Bohemian]

Tough as nails, great contributor on the court in limited minutes.

Thank you Jonas, good luck in Utah!

[Bohemian]

That's 6 now, right?

Young - Zeller - Amir - Olynyk - Bradley - Jerebko.

He was a Decent dude. Wish we could have kept him.

Now it´s time for Mickey, Jackson and Green. I fully expect the first to be out this week. Jackson might be cut or dealt in a minor trade. And I doubt Green takes the mínimum again, he can get better deals somewhere else. Plus, we have too many wings on the roster

[Homerclease]

Better than given credit for but expendable in the end. Good for Jonas getting that money, best wishes to the Swedish Larry Bird

[Froob]

Gonna miss him, he was a hustler. Was hoping he'd make it back but roster got tight.

[SmartWentCrazy]

I can't believe douche-rebko treated us this way. We deserve one of Utahs best players now as compensation for douche-rebko taking this long to decide and leaving us high and dry. They should have to sign and trade us Favors or Rubio-- that's what we deserve

[Green_teamer]

End of an era

[brackdan70]

Best of luck, I just now learned how to spell his name. turns out Jerkabo was wrong.

good rotation guy and great fit for any team.

[radcot]

No denying Jonas gave his all and had his moments, but it was time for him and the team to move on.

[ThumbsUpBaby]

As much as I hated watching him sometimes, he brought toughness and energy onto the court. Hope he finds success with Utah.

It sucks I'll only be able to make "Swedish Michael Smith" jokes a couple times a year.
