Pick or Trade: Zach Lowe on Jazz Future

I think we need another wing. A big wing that can stroke it. I like both the Wisconsin guys for this. I am against trading Hood, but upgrading the backup pg spot is a need too. At least to a league-average level guy.
 
He was throwing Hood around a little too causally, dude could be a stud.

I would be all over Burke and #11 for Holiday. Take the chance.

Agreed... Hood, if healthy, is probably better than whoever we draft at 11 or 12. He's showed he can defend and he can do quite a bit more on offense than I thought.
 
Jazz get the backup point god of the future when they draft Monte Morris with the 30th pick next season. Fear not, people.
 
So it seems you agree that the problem is an offensive one. Teams have gone really, really small sometimes and Quin has responded by going with Booker. Some of the best stretches of defense I've witnessed from the Jazz have come when the other team does that. We are just unable to take advantage of anything offensively.

Booker isn't a bad solution and I like him. I am just not a fan of the other team dictating what we do. I like to force our will on to others as much as possible. If they get a couple open 3s we get a few more offensive rebounds or easy post ups.
 
Outside of Parker, Mills, Duncan, and Splitter; they run 5 guys that are perimeter guys that can do everything. Kawhi, Green, Diaw, Bellineli, and Ginobili. The Jazz only have Hayward, Hood, and Burks that you can put on that level. We need a guy that could play 3 and small 4 at times who can also stroke it.
 
What about making Mills a big offer? Can the Spurs retain him with Green and Leonard wanting big deals themselves?

He's already locked in cheap.

Danny might be available as they are looking to make a big move. The guy I think we can get if we want is Cory Joseph.

The solution is more offense. Like we have each said twice now.
 
The holes in the roster have been screaming in our faces all season, and the Jazz need to drop all sentiment and upgrade the wing and backup C.

I love Jingles and Millsap, but we need a legit 3/D wing to compliment Burks and Hood, who may I add have yet to prove they can consistently contribute and stay healthy.

I love Booker, but we need another C with size and offense. Obv Tomic is the potential answer.

I wouldn't be all that mad if the Jazz don't splash in FA and just shore up the roster with NBA players and allow our young talent to develop further.

Agreed. Lillsap is literally the anti-Kanter. As much has he gives us defensively, he just kills you on the offensive side! That said, he seems unselfish.
 
Did he suggest the 11th pick and Hood for Bradley?

Right now I wouldn't give up Hood straight up for Bradley. He seems to have a not very high opinion of Hood, since he suggested using him as a sweetener in some of the other trades he proposes. I don't like the Bradley trade, especially if it takes our first rounder.
