Rudy to sign deal with Jazz

Too bad they drafted Trey Burke over Dennis Schroder.. These extensions would be even more glorious. His contract is a great bargain for ATL moving forward.

Then the Jazz make the playoffs last season and use the 1st rd pick on Wade Baldwin (whos physical profile is very similar to Hill's and he looks like a competent defender already)

and signed Harrison Barnes and keep Chris Johnson instead of Joe Johnson + trading for Diaw..
Team would be better and much younger.

We could have drafted Baldwin though, he was available when we pick, but we went for experience instead.


It was basically Hill's 1 year (with potential for more) vs Baldwin type decision.

Yeah but point is even if they made the playoffs Baldwin would've been on the board and if they had Schroder their hand wouldn't have been forced to move for Hill.. the team would be much younger as a result and have an extra 4 year restricted rookie with upside.

George Hill is certainly going to be asking for at least 14 a year.. so the $$ lines up.. (same for Chris Johnson and Harrison Barnes vs Diaw and Iso Joe)

You can play the "Should've drafted" game with any team. And signing Harrison Barnes to a max deal would've been awful.

Well when life gives you lemon you make lemonade....


The Schroeder/Burke mistake had already been made... I don't think it's productive to go back and revisit that anymore.


If you were in DL's shoes would you have gone with Hill or Baldwin (and risk losing Hayward in perpetual rebuilding)

You think it's a joke, but even here in New Zealand I'm telling you, it's really serious. I mean, I see them everywhere, even kids as little as 5 and 6, being put into these big rooms and being forced to run and jump and shoot, essentially being trained to one day move over to the states and take these guy's jobs. They're getting trickier too, some of them will sneak in before their training is finished and attend an american university to trick the employers into thinking they're one of you. It's not just us either, Australia, Europe, even the seemingly harmless Canadians are taking you for fools.

Stay woke man.

Are Joe Johnson and Boris Diaw really much better than Harrison Barnes tho? Thats my question.

Who cares, regardless maxing Harrison Barnes would be stupid. Joe Johnson for 2 years $22 million is a bargain in today's NBA.
 
Joe Johnson is much better than Harrison Barnes in terms of creating for himself and others.
