Should the Jazz trade the Celtics for one of their bigs?

[Joe Bagadonuts]

If hope is for Lyles develop I know one thing...jazz can take any one on Jazzfanz and develop and same result. This is not real hope I am sorry

Your thought seems to have been jammed into a blender before posting... same as all your other posts. If you are trying to say that Snyder has as much chance of teaching Lyles basketball as I have of teaching you English I disagree. Snyder's job would be a million times easier.

Is Reggie Jackson's 5-year, $80 million contract through 2020 a good idea for a team that will probably have to max out 3 front-court players and just drafted their PG with the 5th overall?

Lets not forget how this team was playing with Exum and Gobert after that trade.

This.

The revisionist history around this place reaches staggering proportions at times. If we got Jackson in that trade we wouldn't have resigned him. No way, not unless we wanted to lose at least one of our remaining core players in free agency. Therefore it doesn't matter that we didn't get him.

The Suns drafted Booker and signed Teltovic. We could have done that instead of them. That'd be nice right now.

they also got Leuer on the cheap, but they got no cakes, pies, cookies, or doughnuts.

I suggested we get Zeller in another thread, but wouldn't give up a 1st for him. The GS first has a lot of value to me... unprotected picks are always good. Bogut and Iggy are both 31 and could decline plus they may choose to offload one of them once they resign Ezeli and Barnes to huge deals. Steph is not Lebron when it comes to potential injuries... two long seasons with playoffs could add up. Without Steph I'm not sure that is a guaranteed playoff team.

Good point

Did the NBA ban trades? Is having too many good and paid players a bigger problem than lacking them?

Wait, seriously? I suppose to you, the best way to deal with good and paid players on expiring contracts is to just let them walk because that's the only option? I'm going to cut the rhetorical questions here: The Jazz have years before they would have to make any decisions that would have luxury tax ramifications. YEARS.

We definitely couldn't have traded Jackson if he were on our team and playing well. We'd have been toedalay stuckers and lose Rudy and championships. Gotta get back to bakking the cakk

None of those players are worth a first-round pick. Not even close.

I agree, just saying that we have the assets.

Teletovic was a good pickup, but I don't think anyone thought that Leuer would be better than Booker coming into this season.

That's been the biggest letdown so far this season-- Withey, Pleiss, and Booker have been zeros.

I liked this post even though I don't think Booker has been a zero. He's like a special teams player in the NFL: he creates possessions sometimes, out of almost nothing. I don't know what's happened to his shooting and finishing at the rim, though. Horrendous.
