Suns sign Mirza Teletovic

[Phrazbit]

Hearing Steve Albert pronounce this guy's name should be a treat...

Anyway, a stretch 4, the Nets withdrew their qualifying offer, we immediately snatched him up on a 1 year deal, 5 million.

Whichever he might've been, he's Purple now.

Really like this signing, however much you guys want to make fun of it.

He was on Zach Lowe's list of potential free agent steals.

Very good pick and pop, has a pump fake/drive move that he fell a little too in love with, decent defender against both 3s and 4s. Had health problems (blood clots). Lowe figured the Spurs would go after him.

Gotta like all that, except the health part.

Markieff's seat is sizzling.

McD finally listens!

Just sign Teletovic rather than give up assets for Frye or Anderson.

So. Is he any good? Is he better than Leuer?

Jury is out on how good he is, but I do suspect he is better than Leuer.

A slightly younger and more affordable Frye. According to Nets fans, streaky shooter, doesn't provide much of anything else. Another version of Frye/Bonner types. Can't hurt us off the bench.

Same here Chaplin. He really impressed when the Suns played the Nets when he was healthy, their first meeting. I kept asking myself who is the player and where did he came from.

He had 16 points and 7 rebounds in the first meeting with the Suns. He was 4-8 from 3 point range. I don't think he played in the second meeting with the Suns. He suffered from heath problems as described in the link below. If he is healthy, this is an excellent signing. I believe he suffered from multiple blood clots in his lungs which were discovered in the latter part of January 2015. If healthy, I believe this is an excellent signing especially considering it is only a 1 year, 5.5 million dollar contract. He can play.

A tweet from Paul Coro. As you can tell, I like this player.

Teletovic is a 6-8 forward who can spread the floor. In 3 Nets seasons, he hit 36% of his 3s. Source confirmed deal.

If you want a 4 that puts up 3's at every opportunity Teletovic is your man - about 3/4ths of his shots are beyond the arc. Last year he shot 32% and the year before 39% - career average is 36.2%. Leuer shoots 3's at about 1/5th the rate and his career avg is 36.7%. Leuer's other stats are a little better better: FG% .478 vs .401, reb 8.5/36 vs 7.2; FTA 2.4 vs 1.5; slightly better TOs and Stls; same on assists.

They're different enough players that they can both be useful. If you get the 39% Teletovic he'll help spread the floor, while the 32% Teletovic won't help much.

Good call.

I like the signing, assuming that he will be healthy of course.

God bless you.

So Teletovic wraps Lebron to prevent a layup. I like it.

How dare anyone wrap-up Lebron like that especially after he commits an offensive foul to get there.

 

[leclerc]

Good to get some toughness as long as it's not the cheap shot give-me-a-tech stuff we know too well.

 

[JCSunsfan]

I do not see why LeBron was so upset on that play. While he made no attempt on the ball, it was not an unsafe foul. He wrapped him up. He didn't throw him to the floor.

A couple of observations. Wow. AK47. Hasn't anyone told you how stupid that hair looks? You going for the Prince Valiant cut?

What's with the nicknames on the jerseys? Did I miss something?

If healthy, I think the Suns got a Mega Steal with the Teletovic signing. He can
play both inside and outside, has one of the best shooting touches in the league, rebounds, blocks some shots, and can run the floor. I think the fans are going to love this guy! He is the Power Forward answer to Goran Dragic. I am super excited to have him on this team. Here's highlights (link below) of a Brooklyn Net's game in which he had 24 points in the second quarter.

Most optimistic evaluation I have seen yet. I admire it although maybe a bit TOO positive.

I like that he didn't go there and jaw with any of them to make the situation worse like an idiot on our team now that we all know would.

 

[az jam]

Wow, looks like he really has an excellent touch for the 3 pointer.
