This is the most DL/basic Jazz Fan take. They look at a player and think “how would that dude help THIS team at THIS very moment?” (See our Doke, Grayson Allen, Tony Bradley etc etc)
Well it is abundantly clear that what this team needs at this very moment is perimeter D, and our FO didn't do jackshit about it

How about “how would that guy have been valued by the rest of the league both today and in 12/24/36 months? AND could they be of value to our team as well?”

We seem to never look at players as assets that bring value beyond what our team needs at that very moment.

You think we are paying a pick to get off Derrick White or Josh Hart?
Having Derrick White right now would be awesome.

You pay a pick to GET either player, IF it’s even on the table.
 
Jazz have until Monday with Tucker and then his contract is fully guaranteed - despite the rumors I would think he's safe. Jazz got in a bidding war to get this guy - it be kind of strange to give up on him after 20-something games.

I need to find out who NWG is related to in the Jazz front office.

Tucker is gonna be rookie Wes Matthews reincarnated this season! Book it Danno!

Don't forget they cut Jeff Green when they signed him as well.
 
You mean Josh Hart and Derrick White? Ehh, I don't think they change the Jazz's outlook.

They might. They arent players I'm going to trash the team for passing on though. Neither of those guys were super high on my radar personally.

Hart is kind of meh overall. Not someone I would give up a 1st rounder for. I do really like White though and he'd be better than having Clarkson imo.
 
Shaq Harrison is still available and would probably ask for same amount of money as NWG. But why come back for work when you've been on a vacation 10min after FA started?
 
Is this a prelude to another move or just clearing space to clear space?
it's gotta be clearing space to sign extra players. barring an unlikely Conley trade, we are subject to LT no matter what. and all these extra salaries that we are paying, we can easily get the money back by selling these second round picks in the future. only reason we are giving away those second round picks now has gotta be for us to create room to sign extra player
