Utah's long journey to relevance

Derrick Favors for Dennis Schroeder and Al Horford.
Derrick gets to play in hometown ATL and can start at center next to Milsap
Horford is on expiring deal, but is sick of playing center. He can shoot comfortably from 20-feet so he could be perfect PF next to Gobert, Schroeder is a long and talented PG and could be Utah's starter for the future. Utah would probably have to include Neto or Burke in the deal.

I have zero desire to trade for Schröder when we currently have Exum.


Like another poster mentioned, maybe a Lou Williams or Mario Chalmers type could be picked up at the deadline? The ceiling of Exum is larger than almost every option at PG available to us. That's what we need to remember.
 
Smh ppl ready to explode one of the best two-way frontcourts in the NBA just because of injuries. You guys are ****ing morons.

I'm sure you agree that the "moronic-ness" of any trade fully depends on weighing the outgoing versus the incoming. Would you support trading Favors if it brought back a player on the next tier? I'm sure you would.
 
Same thing with Reggie Jackson, I'm pretty sure the reason we didn't go hard for him was because of his questionable attitude. He is now a fringe All Star for Detroit.
All the Jazz had to do was say "yes" to get Jackson. There was no reason to involve Detroit, and nothing they gave up trumped what the Jazz gave up. I'd bet you $50 the involvement of a 3rd team (The Pistons in this case) came at the request of the Jazz. I'd certainly pay that much to actually know how the **** they ****ed that one up.

Jackson just isn't a DL type guy attitude wise, plain and simple IMO.


First thing ever DL talks about when he's drafting someone is how "highly the college coach" speaks of that player. He said the same thing about Exum, about Hood, about Lyles...
 
Stackhouse was nothing special at all in the NBA though.
Maybe not special like an all-time great / HOF career, but Stack was still a better player than Hayward though...Two time all-star, best year was 2001 when he averaged 29.8/4/5 (finished second in scoring ahead of Shaq, Kobe, Vince Carter).
 
People here talking about adding all these free agents regardless of cap and figure it out later yet we would rather trade a very good small forward instead of paying him cause the "salaries might not work".

Read the whole Lowe article past the first few paragraphs. He loves the position the Jazz are in, he is just pointing out the many directions and outcomes.

**** man, I stand corrected. Don't even remember such seasons.

Exum didn't go to college...

Should I go back and see if he actually "loves" the position the jazz are in, or will you cop to an overstatement? Not trying to accuse you, really, but that wasn't the impression that I got.
