Teodosic supposedly on his way

[JAZZGASM]

If we do that we just need to trade Exum.

Hopefully Exum has put in work and has truly improved as touted by the Jazz. If so, and we get Teo, we can wait until the trade deadline and get more value. If we don't get Teo, hopefully Exum has turned the corner and will be a reliable producer.

I dont think he has to be a starter, but I think you need to have a defined minutes role for him, at least 25 mpg.

So not a starter, but plays more minutes at PG than the starter?

Even if Hill leaves, the Jazz backcourt isn't in that bad of shape. Worst case scenario is that you let Exum/Hood/Burks/Jingles/Mitchell fight it out for two starting spots. Not sure that keeps Hayward in Utah. . . but the Jazz don't NEED to make a big move for a starting guard. They have some options.

Not necessarily. Teo can play next to whoever the starter is.

Why is everyone assuming this guy can play? I have real doubts that he has enough athleticism to stay on the court... I think his defense will make him unplayable.

Why do you assume his defense is as bad as you think it is? Or that it is so bad it outweighs the offense he brings to the table?

Rockets now have the best back court in the league, some fire power with Ariza too.

I'd rather have GSW's backcourt.

He was come playoffs

Two things wrong with this.

1. Horny had physical limitations, but played like he cared, and still played a physical brand of defense.

2. Just because u can shoot doesn't mean u are going to be good or even make it in the NBA. Exhibit A. I give u the Jimmer. There isn't a sweeter J around, and yet no one wants the Jimmer, and no one could make him fit. They all tried and failed miserably.

Lol. Jimmer could score. He was not on off ball shooter. Big difference. If Jimmer could catch and shoot, he'd be in the NBA.

I think the only way that's an acceptable PG situation going into the season is if the Jazz make a move (presumably trade) to get another high impact player on the team, such as perhaps Paul George.

I really don't understand the bias towards Euro players in here. Jazz is the leading franchise that respects and makes good use of international talent. I'm not saying Euroleague is NBA. That would be dumb. But leading Euroleague teams can beat a lot of NBA teams today. Don't underestimate a clever playmaker who knows the game more than most of the NBA guards in this league and has amazing fundamentals.

I hope we get to see the outcome of this.

Because it comes up in every scouting report on the guy... there is likely some euro bias in my opinion too.

If Jimmer could shoot well enough in the NBA, he'd be playing.

He can't, so he isn't.

It does come up in every scouting report. I just wonder if it's being overblown, especially as it relates to what he contributes offensively.
