The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

I'm watching the New Orleans Pelicans v OKC game and there is no sign of Zion who is out injured and apparently in terrible shape, here is a recent photo of him

(recent Zion photo)

Now reportedly a lot of this is to force his way out of New Orleans to a bigger better market/city. AD did the same thing. I would have thought if you were a young, rich, single, high profile athlete New Orleans would be a pretty good city to live in?
 
Grayson Allen sends the Bucks to overtime against the Celtics with a 3 with 13 seconds left.
 
Nuggets are in trouble without Murray and Porter Jr. They need someone other than Jokic that can create.

Cleveland needs serious help
without Sexton. Their offense devolved into Rubio step backs.

I feel bad for
KAT. I’ve never watched him and thought he looked like he was enjoying himself.

Is this where you’re headed with that?

CLE could be a Clarkson/Bogdanovic destination. I don’t think we need any of their players, but both Markannen and Sexton (depending on how Cavs feel about contract situation) could be sent to a third team.
 
Did we give up on Allen too soon? 16 pts on 45 percent shooting. Didn’t we give he along with Crowder and a Larry H Miller car dealership worth of picks for Conley? Perhaps those picks could’ve turned into the young PG or stretch 4 that we desperately need?

Hindsight is awesome, who wouldn't have pulled the trigger on the Conley deal?

I didnt like that trade from day one. Thought conley was too small, too old, too expensive and too injury prone. Also thought we should just move DM over to pg

I mean, I guess. I know I was mostly for the trade but had doubts due to Conley's age. But I remember a lot of other smarter posters having greater reservations than me.

There were many that didn’t like it. I wished the cost was lower but ultimately supported it. The Conley move is not something I would say I regret at all though. And the price fell in line with some other deals.

I get more bent about the dumb **** we did filling in around the edges and managing minor assets. Having the pick we gave up in the Favs deal would be nice. Drafting a good young player instead of Udoka would have been nice.

the Doka and Eliza draft picks might've been the nail in the coffin. Had we drafted Bane right now we might've been able to salvage things.

We've now gone several drafts with 0 to show for it. Even Butler isn't even contributing.
 
If we can find a Jae'Sean Tate type from somewhere, we'd be in good shape. The kid plays with real toughness and some of the rebounds he grabbed over bigger guys were nasty.

that's one of my complains against Quin. I know the kid hasn't been impressive in the minute he's given, but the fact that he had 3 DNPs over his last 5 is inexcusable. Especially when we were resting Conley and JC was struggling.

I was on Tate Island early last year... really wanted us to go after him. He would bring so much damn toughness.

Guys like Tate are also relatively easy to find off the wire... we found Royce in a similar fashion.

Guys who don't really have very good basketball skill, which made them going under the radar initially, but play with great energy and toughness. like Bruce Brown

Have to have enough skill to survive. Brown spent some time as a point guard at times. Tate can do some stuff and there aren't guys built like that who can also move. There are a couple guys each year in the mold in a good year.

true. Oni's been frustrating to develop, for example. Need to skilled enough or they will just foul out in less than 10 min every game.
 
Good hell Steph is cooking right now. I want the Warriors to lose but man it’s fun when he’s got it going
