Anyone interested in Jahlil?

I read they (the 76ers) at first wanted 2 firsts, then a first, and now it's down to just a second round pick? Anyone interested in that?
 
Not really. I think he has talent but where does he get the minutes so he won't be happy in Utah. Jazz are developing Bradley which would make him redundant.
 
Yeah, seems like throwing away a second rounder to me. Kinda sucks, if the Jazz weren't so logjammed, that would be a totally worthy gamble (even just to develop an asset to flip if it went well).

Ya, I'd say do it for a 2nd rounder. He isn that bad folks. He has some talent.

Yeah, but is he really going to develop getting 15 mpg? His defense is just too terrible to play for Quin. Just imagine if Gobert went down and he had to start.
 
He's just a rental; that's why no one is going to trade for him. Because the 76er's didn't pick up his option, the amount they (or a team that traded for him) can offer next season is fixed at an APY of no more than 6.3M. So Team X could offer $6.31 and there would be no way to match or offer more.

But he's not worth that much anyway. Would rather have Udoh come back as the backup 5. And Utah needs shooters at the 4. If Jazz could make it work with an inside PF, they'd just keep Favors.
 
If you put him on a roster of above average defenders, I bet he could do fine. The guy can score and get rebounds. If you put him on a roster like ours but had somebody multideminsional like Draymond or Millsap at PF, he could light it up.

I have a feeling he is going go sign some bobo deal with GS in the off-season and turn into a stud.

If you guys hated Kanter's defense watching Okafor would give you bloody diarrhea, acne, jaundice, stroke and heart attack. If you like to suffer, then yes, you want him on your team. Seriously, hell will freeze over before Snyder would agree to have that lazy bum on the Jazz.

This is the issue... he is basically just an expiring contract. If he had more years or they bought him out and you could get him for cheap and get some upside out of it I would be down for a gamble like this, but with no second year they really took all of the upside out of the deal... and if he was good he'd get more than you could afford (i doubt he is good doe).
 
If we trade Favors after his 'playing without Gobert, I may be an all star' run...

Then Jahlil for a second round pick may make some sense. It's not much of a risk and if you develop him, I think there is a good reward there. Don't we still have several extra second round picks? What did we do with our last bunch of second rounders? We loaded the G-League Stars. It's more about whether you have $5 million in cap space to pay Jahlil without going into the luxury tax and whether you want to take a guy on for 3 months to have him potentially walk. If he plays well for 3 months you have to pay him. If he doesn't play well, you just wasted a draft pick and paid $2.5 million (half of his salary for 2018).
 
I think he will play better in a new situation. I think he can still be a good player in the right situation but that's probably not here. I don't see us needing him or gaining much from him. I'm surprised a team like Chicago or nets aren't jumping at this. A 2nd for a guy like this is great for a tanking team who needs young guys with some potential that won't hurt their tank this year.

I haven't checked the landscape, but if they don't have any other teams' 2nd rounders, then they're looking at trading what are sometimes seen as even more valuable than late 1st rounders (because of looser salary rules regarding 2nd rounders).

That can be true. Although I still think he is worth that risk. You can almost always buy an early 2nd round pick and often a late first. Besides one of those teams probably has other teams 2nd picks floating around.
