Ohh man. This hurts.
We have had a history of signing vets who immediately become shit/unplayabale after coming here. RJ in that aspect was a breath of fresh air. He had his limitations but he was such a smart player. Slashed well whenever he was closed down. Shot extermely well from beyond the arc in his first season. And, was a great locker room figure. All in all, a very likeable guy.
But like all, I will remember him for his performances in 2016 NBA Finals. Especially after Love was out with a concussion and underperformed in the next few games. We needed someone to step up from the bench and deliver, and RJ did that. He was huge. Be it scoring some vital points and playing good defense. He played his heart out that NBA Finals. Like
@RG said, without RJ delivering, the curse still lives on. And for that, I will forever be thankful to RJ.
Thanks for all the memories, RJ. Thanks for Road Trippin'. Thanks for those two dunks against the Warriors and that solid defense on KD on 2016 Christmas Day. Thanks for contributing in what was one of the happiest moments of my life in mid June 2016. Good luck to him in his future endeavours. Adios!
