It’s annoying Yak getting such a disproportionate amount of hate, he’s had a bit of a rough patch but I don’t think he was even that bad tonight relative to the rest of the team.
Consider that we have to watch:
Gary getting swatted driving into 7 footers at the rim and chucking up contested middy’s 5 seconds into the shot clock.
Precious playing with oven mitts and severe CTE preventing him from making any sensible decisions on the court in his 4th year
6/8 games going down 16 or more
Darko sending out Otto for garbage minutes while giving the world’s longest leash to the previously mentioned players
I get being upset with the front office for putting this sad sad sad product on the court but at this point it feels like people are just crying about yak because it’s an easy way to shit on masai for making that deal.
You might get 5-8 games from Jakob like he did against the Pistons - other than that, he’s not anything life changing. $20m is steep for him but at this point its somewhat refreshing to know we have someone not named Scottie Barnes signed past this summer Lol. Lot of the issues currently with him also surround the shit shooting we have out on the floor which makes spacing tough for him and ends up with congested lanes. He’s not the worst part about this roster - if we want to start somewhere, get rid of Precious/McDaniels/Garett Temple/Otto and then find out what the plan is with GTJ b/c he looks like he’s not really bought into this system and his play is showing it.
