Trade deadline discussion

[framer]

Even when that player doesn't crack your rotation?

Yes. It's not like he is making 9 million a year. And just because we have had excellent health doesn't mean we will ALWAYS have excellent health.

It would be nice to have another option should Clarkson start putting up another 1 for 15 stinker against an actual NBA team as well. Oni certainly isn't going to come in and go flamethrower for us.

It's entirely possible that if he gets any burn for us this year, we could raise his value and flip him in the offseason as well.

Cleveland is working on a buy-out for Drummond. Mavs were reportedly interested in trading for him, but must've not made much of an offer. Drummond will most likely sign with the Lakers now.

I hate this part of the NBA. A team should be limited on how many times they can sign buyout players.

Actually the more I look at Thomas highlights, the more I think he's going to play big minutes under Quin. His quick motion/release will add the much needed variety to this Jazz offense. We have too many standstill shooters on this team that rely heavily on others to create for them. Thomas is a guy constantly on the move or cutting to find his own shot. Could be our own Duncan Robinson or Davis Bertans.

He played at ISU. Did he and Niang play together?

Yes. He got his shot when Naz got injured.

Nope... ready for this... homeboy going for the dough. He gonna sign with the Knicks using their cap space. He's not about winning... they can give him like 4/60 using their space... dude wants his checks.

Who's minutes he taking?

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Would be surprised if there werent more details to this trade. A decent immediate 2nd rounder seems like too much just for an under the radar development project.

 

[framer]

Over/Under on 100 minutes played for the Jazz for Thomas this season?

Over. There is going to be a lot of garbage time in the coming two months.

We have Oni... We can also increase minutes for some of the other guards we have if there are injuries.

Matt just doesn't fit what we need right now imo... fine pickup if there were no picks involved. I think we need a ball handling guard more if we are talking about insurance.

Its fine... its just 30% too much and it slowly adds up.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I think the same applies to Holmes when he was in Phoenix. But it's nonetheless a steal for Sacramento

Ok, so the Kings are willing to be a landing place for scumbags.

Yeah, rich get richer, always

Why?

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Anybody know what 2nd we're sending out?

Only says future second. But who cares.

15min till deadline and still no news from all the major players like Houston, Dallas, Lakers, New York, Cleveland. Surprising

Lots of deals are reported after the deadline comes and goes. Happens every year.

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

The one time he got 20+ mins, 22 to be exact, he scored 15 points and hit three threes. Lots of people have asked why he isn’t getting more mins. I think if the jazz have any real plans for him, he will have zero problems scoring.

Matt thomas....the juggernaut the jazz needed.

The name describes his shooting very nice.

 

[KqWIN]

Please no buyout...

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Please no buyout...

If they didnt trade him they arent going to buy him out. It's not like a situation where he wasnt tradeable and is a toxic presence.

If we keep him for a while I could see him getting minutes down the road but there's no way he cracks the rotation this season. He should be able to step in and play some minutes if we have injuries.

 

[NAOS]

Please no buyout...

They’d turn down trade offers.... and then turn around and buy him out? What am I missing?

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Please no buyout...

I don't think so ... likely going to re-sign him or sign and trade in the offseason.

Strange though... would have thought Miami would pay up for him or maybe Philly. Just thankful he isn't a Laker.

There's no such thing as garbage time. In a game where we're up 40 to players you've never heard of, Quin still finds <4 minutes for the bench guys.
