OT: Wow! Rubio traded to Utah???

Posted by: purplefaithful - 06-30-2017, 08:45 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (8)

Ricky Rubio’s six seasons in Minnesota are over.
According to multiple media reports, the Wolves and Utah have agreed to a deal that will send Rubio away and bring back a future first-round pick.

Most importantly, it frees up Rubio’s $14.1 million salary for this coming season, money they can use to sign a starting point guard such as Indiana’s Jeff Teague when the NBA’s free-agent negotiating period begins at 11 p.m. Central Friday night.
The Wolves can know use that money on top of more than $18 million they already had free to pursue free agents.
The Jazz will send Oklahoma City’s lottery-protected, first-round pick in 2018 to the Wolves and in turn absorb Rubio’s $14.1 million salary into their salary-cap space.
Utah had $16 million in free cap space that they had to use by Friday midnight or lose. Jazz center Rudy Gobert’s huge new contract begins July 1, thus gobbling up any extra space the Jazz had.
The trade ends Rubio’s uneven six seasons in Minnesota after the team drafted him fifth overall in 2009 and then waited two seasons for him to come from Europe to the NBA.

Salt Lake City radio station 1280 AM The Zone and ESPN first reported details of the trade.
The Salt Lake Tribune, using unnamed sources, reported the Wolves and Teague have mutual interest in each other.

My Overtime Proposal

Posted by: silverjoel - 06-30-2017, 03:58 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (14)

I'm not really sure why I was thinking about OT the other day, but I came up with an interesting idea. No kicks. None. No kickoffs, no punts and no FGs. Just offense versus defense, removing special teams from the equation.

The winner of the coin toss would have to choose between starting with the ball at their own 25 or defending against the other team at their 25. With no punting, the team on offense needs to pick up the first down (probably multiple first downs) or the other team will start out with really good field position, but still no FGs, so they would need to score a TD.
A team couldn't just play the field position battle because there are no punts. A goal line stand by a defense wouldn't bail out the offense from having to move the ball (safety would lose the game). I could see some interesting strategies developing. Every play would be important, every penalty would be important.
This, of course, would only apply to the regular season. For the post season, they should really just play another quarter.

That's my idea, what's good and what's bad? Should FGs still be in play?

Jordan Hicks - LB - Eagles

Eagles MLB Jordan Hicks injured his hand on his honeymoon in Greece this week.
The severity of the injury isn't known, but it's not believed to be serious. Hicks is still in Greece but has sent pictures of his hand to team doctors. He supposedly got hurt getting out of a pool. Hicks is one of the building blocks on defense in Philly. He was Pro Football Focus' No. 7 inside linebacker out of 59 qualifiers last season, excelling in coverage. He could open camp on the NFI list if tests show a multi-week injury.
