Farewell, Timofey Mozgov

[brownsbuck6]

It's like clockwork. His game translates far better as a bench player. I don't know if I have THE reason as to why, but it just does. His energy, hustling style just seems to translate better when he's playing against back-up bigs.

On top of that, he gets into a rythym against backups and then starts frustrating the starters and can be very valuable down the stretch of playoff games.

He was almost completely invisible tonight against a team he should have feasted on. Stop putting him in the starting lineup already.

He was mostly invisible tonight because he didn't play.

That line of conversation was about Tristan...

Way to confuse me by posting in the Mozgov thread without any proper names.... my bad.

 

[Green Lantern]

Has anyone found out whats up with Moz?
And only Shaka Khaun knows about it?

 

[tonyn]

Maybe moz can be our enforcer
Put him and khan in a few minutes a game at the four and give spot to big hit anyone who comes in the paint #nolayups

Mozgov, the Russian Delonte West...

Dammit.

Was moz on a three wheel motorcycle carrying a guitar case full of guns banging lebrons mom showing up on national tv with herpes all over his face or found drugged up wandering the streets after escaping a mental home

No he's just a fucking headcase that had a great year in Cleveland and proceeded to play like shit the next year because of mental issues.

I'm really curious what his problem is. I mean he was such a force of nature last year now he always seems disengaged and scatter brained. He has flashes of his true self but then he fall's off a cliff.
What if he quits basketball after this season.

He's already made more money than I ever will in my lifetime...

Moz has played himself out of millions acting like a little bitch


If anyone died or anything super serious happened we'd know. We don't have time crying over a guy whose probably mad that his woman fucked his best friend or some other bullshit.

If no one is dying then I don't give a fuck about any excuse he has as to why he's magically turned into a bitch this season. He chose the wrong year to do it too because he was gonna get PAID before this year.

Wonder how much he'll end up losing...could be at least $5 mill a year - maybe more. Doesn't help him that he's not young either. I guess he could change the narrative with a good playoffs, though it's hard to imagine he has earned much playing time in the postseason rotation. It's just crazy how much a difference a year makes...last year I wouldn't be surprised to see him get a max deal thrown at him by someone. Then again I never thought the Monstars would steal his talent in the offseason.

Moz has talent/potential, but there are numerous factors working against him when it comes to getting paid in free agency this summer.

His diminished production, mental/confidence/secretive personal issues (of which there are several), age, and injury history are all big negatives. I don't know how much money he's set to lose, but he'll certainly only get a 2-3 year deal at most.

My fear is that Moz knows this and gives us nothing on the court.

Why try if (1) you played yourself out of a monster contract and (2) your role with the team has diminished to a 5-10 minute situational player that can't beat Kevin out at the five?

His comments and self-loathing give me the vibe that he is capable of being that person.
