What's new

Trade deadline discussion

I agree he's been fine offensively. I think defensively is where he's really struggling right now, particularly in transition. He just looks slow on that end. Then again he was a team high +25 tonight and a team high +24 in the Mavs game so he's doing something right.
he's slower this year so his trade value will be lower. maybe we can only get James Harden in return. last year I was aiming at Kevin Durant so there.
 
U have to ask yourself why are we hearing about this now? McMahon and Tony have sources and report what the front office want let out. I think we’re getting conditioned early, as fans, to understand Joe is gone soon.
 
I’ve also noticed an uptick in negative comments on joe from the local press. Tonight i think i saw a stat that joe is bad in transition D. The Utah brass is pushing a narrative in order to lessen the blow when Joe leaves. My $.02

read the salt Lake Tribune today. #2 was about joes defense.
 
I don’t think he’s been bad, but I do think he’s coasting some. We’ve also been limiting his offensive load by playing Forrest who dominates the ball.

It’s a good thing that we’re saving some in the tank for the playoffs. If we needed him to be the ball handler he was last year I still think he’s more than capable.
Conley is the one who keeps breaking come playoff time, right?
 
The fact that the Jazz are saying that they want a "starting-caliber big wing" also doesn't bode well for Royce O'Neale, imo. In his last 5 games, Royce is averaging 3.5 pts and 5 rebs in just over 30 mins.

If the Jazz were to combine Royce's and Joe's salaries, that would get them to $21.8M, which matches guys like Barnes and Grant.
 
Kinda sucks that GSW are good this year. They have some major money on the books and I figured if they were bad they would start making some deals. I'm not sure what we would want or how we could help them,
 
According to Tim MacMahon a rival executive said Utah had a deal for Ingles in place this off-season, but backed out because Snyder forced a veto.
