3-wing lineups are a bandaid + we shouldn't wait for Dante

Of course Dante is still a question mark but the "missing piece" of a potential franchise PG is on our roster right now.

Trading one of our core-6 guys is to acquire another potential franchise PG (or an already proven franchise PG?) is definitely a knee-jerk reaction. What other assets that we have would it take to land a player like that?

I never said I'd trade a core piece. Right?

We have picks, Lyles, Pliess, Burke, more picks, lots of un-guaranteed contracts, Booker, etc.

I'm not saying we need a world-stopper All-Star.

You've been pushing my argument to the extremes. How about trying another way?

I'm okay with trading any player except one of our core-15 guys.

It's not the fact the core-6 can't be traded, it's the knee-jerk reaction of trading one of those players.

Let's make a trade for a franchise PG with all the assets we have sounds terrific. Can't wait to find out who this mystery player is that we can trade a whole bunch of assets for.

If you don't mind me asking, who are the core-6?

I think we have three core players, Hayward, Favors and Gobert.

I love our team as a whole, but if I had to reduce it to our "core" I can't go very far past 3 guys.

why should I give you names while you continually slaughter the premisses the thread (that I started)?

You're absolutely right. This hypothetical player sounds terrific.

Sure, I consider our core 6 those 3 with Exum, Burks, and Hood.

If Dante + asset can net us someone like Dennis Schroder, then we should do it. I actually don't see how Exum can play "either guard spot" since he's not a good shooter and hasn't shown to possess any offensive instincts. I know I'll get crucified for saying this, but I think the Jazz should take a serious look at trading Exum for a decent PG.

I agree. Though I would hold out for more than a "decent" pg

Yeah, I'm sorry but you can't really call Exum a core player when he's still a huge question mark. I'm not eager to trade him right now, feel like we could be looking pretty stupid down eh line if he explodes, but he is not part of this team's core. I think Burks is going to have a really good year and his success will surprise a lot of people outside of Utah and will be part of why I think the Jazz will overachieve, but he has not been one of our core players. Hood is in his second year. He looks good, I don't want to trade him, but he's not a core player.

Your idea of what a core is and mine are VERY different. I don't think there are many teams that have 6 core players. If a team really does have that many core, untouchable, franchise type players then they are a championship contender, no doubt. We're hoping the Jazz don't miss the playoffs this year. We are not on that level right now.
