Signing Reggie to a 2-year contract just above the vet minimum was universally panned by blogbois and some even called it the single worst move of the offseason by any team. What a bunch of fucking idiots
Yeah cause hindsight is the best way to evaluate signings
Objectively, signing the guy who could barely play in garbage time by his current team and was cut for being borderline unplayable by the team he was waived by, on the first day of free agency, using your only non vet min money (tax payer mle) , is a poor use of resources.
I’m glad it’s working out and I’m especially glad Reggie is playing well again. I’m a fan and thought he was washed but he’s bounced back really well. But you can point to basically anything and call people idiots by looking purely in hindsight
He came to the Nuggets with less than two months left in the season and had no time to adjust to a completely new system. That's why he didn't play. His year with the Clippers wasn't great but that entire team was an unstable mess. Prior to that Reggie was always a good player who had moments of brilliance in the playoffs. The idea that he was washed at age 32 was always ridiculous and judging a player based on how he performed following a late-season signing is equally ridiculous, especially when every NBA podcaster made it a point to shit on the Nuggets for giving him a fucking 2-year extension for next to nothing. There was never a player the Nuggets were going to sign for that price that is better than Reggie Jackson.
anyone that calls those vet\league min signings "the worst of the offseason" isn't worth listening to, no matter the sport
Hollinger called it the worst move of the offseason by any team. This is the same guy who called the KCP trade a salary dump that makes the Nuggets worse. What a fucking clown. Him and Nate Duncan.
There's a specific kind of sports analyst that breaks into the industry by innovating in the analytics game (whether applying them better or creating new useful ones), but as time goes on, thinks that they're building experience so they can just rely on their gut and eye test. And that is not how that works.
Ehh you could argue it’s a bit pointless bc he probably won’t do anything come playoff time or isn’t reliable. But the nuggets are of course aware of that and his abilities at this point. Resigning him is both predictable and not a risk. Nuggets don’t have much to work with money wise in general and are simply looking to fill the back up pg spot so keeping him doesn’t rock the boat. It would be nice to have some great six man but If they really could’ve done better then him then they would have.
Dude is just one of those pathetic “of course it was always a great idea “ people who only come out to say that after the fact
Quit making shit up. I never said "of course it was a great idea" or anything like that. My issue is with clowns like Hollinger and Duncan spending entire segments ripping on a 2-year $10 million signing like it was going to make or break the Nuggets season.
Without DJ, Reggie, and Holiday I think the average age of the Nuggets bench is 14 years old give or take.
