Trade deadline discussion

Don’t see us getting rid of Bogie. My guess is we don’t see anything substantial and we will press forward.
 
FWIW, Rudy Gay has been a bit disappointing as of late. I thought he'd go off for more 20+ pt games. Maybe he's trying to fit in, or maybe he's just old at this point.
 
What we really need is someone that can defend small quick guards that seem to score on us at will to take some of Royce's minutes on certain nights. Royce is great against bigger wings but man does he have trouble keeping up with quick guards. If Royce is going to play over 30 minutes a night and close every single game regardless then I'm not sure how much good adding a perimeter defender is going to do us. If Royce is out there getting absolutely cooked then there's no reason we can't try a different option. If we add a perimeter defender just to guard bench players then how much good is that really going to do us? It's these starting guards that always kill us.

That's not hard to guess at all. When we had Bricky Ricky, Crowder, DedEx, prime Jingles on the roster in 2018, Royce only played a reserve role and our perimeter D worked just fine.

But what I'm saying is I'm not sure Quin is willing to lessen Royce's minutes at this point or close games with another player over him. We need a perimeter defender to guard starting guards not bench guards and if Quins not willing to do that then what good is it to trade for or sign a perimeter defender?

How do you fix it when you don't have that one guy to fix it all? You assign it to multiple guys. Simply put, we need more Royce's. We got him and Jingles off the waiver wire. Don't know why we stop digging for players like that. We shouldn't have kept guys like Oni for that long. He's a waste of precious roster spot where we can offer to actual NBA talent. Doke and Hughes too.

Funny thing is, the jazz went digging for a player like royce when they drafted oni.

I don't see Oni or Hughes breaking the rotation on any other NBA teams either so it really doesn't make much of a difference.

Royce had 5 pts tonight, including 1-for-5 from 3pt. He had 1 rebound in 30 mins. He played so-so defense against Dlo and had a few heads-up defensive plays. He moved the ball and had 4 assists. However, if the Jazz want to upgrade their starting and closing lineups, he may need to play fewer minutes.

We need more royce oneals!!!

He was awesome again last night. 1-4 from the field for 3 points and a negative 21 for the game. Plus he pretty much shut down the mavs offense as they only scored 116 because they had a star studded team.

Royce is so overrated by Jazz fans. Our perimeter defense is so bad that he looks good by default because he puts in effort. Put him on a guard or set a screen on him and he’s toast. It’s not his fault he’s put in these positions but he isn’t that good.
