The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

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

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

Thinking? Love it when people try something new!! You are right tho our back court is small and DM to pg makes sense.

This Portland team is terrible. They gonna tear this **** down this year.

Did we give up on Allen too soon?

I distinctly recall you being one of, if not the biggest Grayson Allen hater on this board well into his rookie year.

I don’t remember being a fan. I don’t believe I was a hater. but he seems to have really come into his own. This year he’s averaging pretty good numbers. Did we give up on him too soon?
