Trade deadline discussion

15min till deadline and still no news from all the major players like Houston, Dallas, Lakers, New York, Cleveland. Surprising
 
It's funny how the Jazz are building a roster so much like the ones I used to build on NBA2K.

I always had a ton of shooters and a shot blocking center. The backup center was also a rim protector. My best offensive player was an all around type guy who could hit tough 3's.

The main thing - shooters everywhere.
I can imagine you spending countless hours trying to trick the AI into trading you Luka, Ja or KD. Out of curiosity what is your starting lineup in Year 2? I remember in NBA 2k20 I got Brandon Clarke and Dejounte Murray early on
 
KOC actually stockpiled second rounders, fat lot of good that did us. I'll convert them to Jordon Clarkson all day long if it is up to me.
Also, Thomas is kind of a Clarkson-esque acquisition. He’s a guy that can come off the bench as a microwave. Sure, different way of getting his points, but the comparison stands.

And for one 2nd.
 
As Jazz fans we should really be desensitized to trading 2nd rounders. The FO just clearly values them more as trade pieces to obtain fringe players with experience than they do as draft picks to obtain fringe players without experience.
I don’t give a **** about second rounders, yes... I know we got guys like Millsap and Russell in the second and Mo Williams and others there, but I just don’t care. Most never get off the bench, or it takes years in most cases, so why not let other teams develop these guys for us.
 
Weren't we required to get Ersan to get to the Minimum roster requirement? I don't think we have to cut anyone to add a player on the buyout market.
I was going to rip into you in this but... I think you’re right. I’m only counting 14. I could be wrong. If we still have a roster spot then cool, let’s ride along. This move doesn’t bother me. It’s still all about the buyout market.
 
Also can someone tell me how we collect every damned Iowa state player ever but somehow we end up with Naz, Thomas, Niang and don't get one Morris, THT, or Halliburton.

We had an open spot but will need to waive someone when OP walks through that door.
 
Who is this Matt Thomas only averages 2 points a game why can’t we get a scorer the nuggets got Aaron Gordon they got a little better no use getting a player that isn’t going to impact games or won’t get any minutes
