There Might be Some Roster Shuffling in the Near Future

The Stars don't play for awhile and they recently added two players rather quietly. They added a couple of 6'9" guys, one guy off the street and they traded a GLeague draft pick for a Raptors GLeaguer that played for Oregon last season. Last night Howard was 7-9 from 3 and Brantley and JWF were on fire. I could see some musical chairs with these three and NWG and Oni.
 
I wish. The current group of Jazz players has me bored already. Don't know why, its not my normal feeling about the jazz. Just not any intrigue around a bunch of minimum contract vets, nor Dante.

It's only a matter of time before Brantley sees NBA minutes. The sooner the better.

Who, by the way, is both heavier (stronger?) and more athletic than both Davis and Bradley while also having much, much better perimeter skills.

Bradley has held his ground while Gobert has been out. I think he has played his way into some minutes for the rest of the season. Davis could be the one taking the hit if they choose to bring Brantley up.

All I’m saying is I think Brantley is due for a chance and that he could provide something the roster lacks otherwise.

If Brantley gets into the rotation, it will probably come at the expense of Niang and possibly Jeff Green. The rationale would be that we already have enough shooters and Brantley is a better rebounder than Niang. As for Jeff Green, both Conley and Mudiay average more rebounds than he does. Defensive rebounding is costing the Jazz games, and that opens a door in the rotation more than anything else.

Another thing to watch will be if Justin Wright-Foreman gets called up to play backup minutes at the 2-guard spot, so Ingles can stay at the 3 or 4.
 
Was thinking that @homeytennis been slacking this year... I'm genuinely interested in several guys on the g league team this year... so keep us updated.

I'm ready for Brantley to get some run... he's the opposite of Niang… he just does a lot out there... I think he'd drive Quin nuts but I think he's fun as hell.

Go watch his G League highlights... bodies just drop around him... he is a bull. Would have loved to see him up with the big boy team for the Giannis matchup... throw him out there for 5-10 minutes and just have him put that beef on the Freak for a bit... I mean Brantley stood his *** up in pre-season... I know its pre-season, but Giannis was beasting our dudes that game so it felt kinda meaningful.

The Jazz might have some interest in LMA or Rudy Gay from the Spurs, imo.

We'd have to give up Ingles and Exum to get either. Aldridge would be interesting, but he's soft. I mean really soft. Not just as a player, but his mentality. I'd be a pass on that because what he brings is scoring, and I don't think we need that as much as we need some better fit options. He'd be interesting, though.
 
Speaking of shuffling, @Handlogten's Heros does this guy have a license?

Rudy Gay would be a defensive and rebounding upgrade for Jeff Green and he's only 14M. That's Exum, Niang and loose change. Gay is getting a bit old though, and he's a streaky shooter.

I think the Jazz are one move away from real contention. The rumor has also been that the Spurs like Exum. Don't know why, but you've got to move where the market takes you. The Jazz can get backup guard play from Oni or JWF.

LMA would be a stretchy 4/5.

I'm all in on Gay
 
Just watched Brantley and JRF highlights. Both look confident and skilled. Glad to see the progression.
