I was just pointing out the feedback from those thinking about trading Parker. I don't get the feeling he is untouchable.

I mean, they did trade for Mitchell, who looks to be nothing but a stud. If you get one player like that every season, you have a pretty damn good drafting record as an organization. The Jazz under Lindsay have had some great success, and some pretty big failures in the draft. Gobert, Hood and Mitchell have been steals. Exum remains to be evaluated, and Burke, Lyles and probably Bradley have been garbage. Although you have to give credit for getting Mitchell with Lyles.

Man, that would be one hell of a return for taking on Deng. But the Lakers might do it though just to have the FA money.

You think Brogdon is better than Bledsoe? (I have no idea, but I was under the assumption that Bledsoe was better)

Parker next to Gobert would be good. Rubio, Mitchell, Hood, Parker, Gobert with Ingles and Exum and whoever the jazz draft in the future would be a good team. Probably not great though unless Mitchell turns out to be James Harden with Defense.

From everything I've seen and heard, IMO the Lakers have zero interest in trading Ingram

Yeah that is probably true. I remember the talk about which one to keep out of Russell/Ingram was that the Lakers viewed Ingram as untouchable.
Gobert and Mitchell are our two best players in terms of potential. I'm okay with Rubio being our PG for now, and Exum may be able to take over in a year or two. Hood should be a second or third option on offense, and he's fine in that role.
What we need is an athletic, lengthy, two-way PF. A guy like Marrkanen or Michael Porter Jr. would complement Mitchell and Gobert beautifully, but that player has to match the skill level and intensity of Gobert and Mitchell. Then you can fill in the gaps with players like Hood, Ingles, Sefalosha, Udoh, etc.
Rubio/Exum
Mitchell/TBD
Hood/Ingles
Killer new PF/TBD
Gobert/Udoh/Bradley

Brogdon is basically a perfect fit w/ a super-star like Giannis. He plays better D than Bledsoe has shown the last few years. He isn't injury prone like Bledsoe. He is also 3 years younger and has 6 years less experience. I really don't think it's much of a question tbh. I'd take Brogdon over Bledsoe 10/10 times tbh.
Exum outplayed Brogdon last year. Brogdon is not a difference-maker one way or another.
You can't be serious...
You are telling me a PG with a 6'10 wingspan who shoots 40%+ from the 3pt line is not a difference maker?
How can someone make a statement like this and pretend to know anything about basketball?
He's a meh athlete, a meh defender and doesn't score much at the rim. He's not a top 15 PG right now. He was a great pick in the 2nd round, but he's not going to make or break a contender.
