Car salesman and Lifshatz say these guys could be replacement guys for the people going out in a trade.
And kozlodoev is saying the core of the Earth could be made of hot Nutella. C'mon folks. This is shoring up the roster for this season and positioning ourselves for 2017 free agency.

Probably.  I just find it humorous that those two guys come out with such an obvious speculation and it is quoted as if it is news.  It's just speculation that anyone could have posted.

They just don't know when it's time to cut their losses.

If a moves comes, it'll be at the trade deadline. I think DA is going into the season with what we have. It's more likely for them to be preparing for the 2017 FA frenzy.

The core of the Earth is made of hot Nutella? Cool, hand me a drill and a bowl of dipping fruit.

Why guarantee Jackson?  Didn't they watch him play this summer?

They also watched him play in college.

Did you watch him in summer league? Pretty brutal, especially last game v Portland.

I was also surprised they guaranteed him. He was great in college. I watched a lot of ND and I think hes got a lot of potential. First, he defends his position well. Hes too small to switch a bunch but he can cover point guards. Second, hes a much better shooter than his senior year indicated. 2 years ago he played off ball next to Jerian Grant, and he shot upwards of 40% because he took mostly catch and shoot good shots. This year, he was asked to run NDs terrible and stagnant offense. A lot of times this resulted in him having to iso with 3 or 4 seconds left on the clock and he took a lot of tough 3s because of this. Third, he is a terrific finisher and a terrific athlete. Fourth, he is a decent passer and is very good in the pick and roll. Now my concerns are largely around his handle and his ability to get an offense running smoothly. I had blamed Mike Brey for the static ND offense he was forced to run, but it is concerning how poorly he looked trying to initiate the offense. My second concern is his handle. He was much better at ND when playing off ball and able to basically just run at people in transition and drive closeouts. When forced to iso and create his own offense, he struggled. Im not sure he has the handle to break down NBA defenders. He relies more on his explosiveness.

Overall, Im glad Boston signed him. I think hes gonna develop into a terrific complementary guard. If I had to make a player comp I think Chalmers could be accurate.

I don't see how RJ loses that battle.  He has an NBA skill, shooting.  He might be our best passing guard and his defense is surprisingly good.

I assume any trade we'll see is just one or two of the young failures for a future pick.

It just reinforces how unimportant summer league performances really are.
