Well if the question is "who improves the team more immediately, Beverly or the 30th pick in the draft?", then he is the answer.
Anyway, as I've said before, DL isn't going to scrap the year and tank if they lose Hillward. They're going to try and give Rudy another shot at the playoffs. They probably don't want to carry 3 rookies anyway, and certainly not 4.
Yes. I think that lineup has enough offense. Also, I think the Rockets want to deal Lou Williams too, so you could always take him back as a 6th man (though I'm not a huge fan of his). Or you could sign Teodosic.
Not if you have to let other players go in order to fit him under the luxury tax.

This is a good post. I know we don't always agree, but this is a good idea.
Beverley gives us an amazing defensive presence to go along with Gobert. We all know Love is a borderline liability on defense, but his offense is strong. If we could get those two, Love and Beverley, without sacrificing too much, we add two specialists. When you have specialists, you have matchup advantages. I could get on board with this roster pitch to Hayward.
I don't like this team. It's kind of cringey IMO.
lol. How so? It's an interesting team at least.
Jazz have contacted the Rockets about Beverley per Tony Jones.

The other thing to consider here, is that having Beverly actually might improve Utah's leverage in a negotiation with Hill. If Hill can't get a deal with Philly or Brooklyn, his options for more money start to dwindle.
I think you are right... and I think it will be a huge mistake. We might even make the playoffs with our patchwork of a roster à la Portland last year and delude ourselves that we are going somewhere even without the lost FA star and then lose a couple more years trying to chase ghosts.

Tony Jones indicated that this doesn't mean we wouldn't re-sign Hill. It makes sense because both guys can guard 2s.
I think he is the only established guy we can get that wouldn't make it a forgone conclusion that Hill is gone. If Hayward left and we wanted to tank we could send Beverly to many teams (12 called) and get the equivalent of the OKC pick back. It's a great move for us.
I do think it is the OKC pick they would want because I don't think they'd want the cap hold this year. Second round picks have different cap holds iirc... so maybe they want #42.
Second rounders are really valuable supposedly this year.
