Trade deadline discussion

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I doubt the Jazz would trade Bogey for Smart, unless they had another deal in parallel that brings back Harrison Barnes or Jerami Grant. The Jazz aren't trying to get smaller or reduce their league-leading offense.

If the Jazz did send out Bogey for Smart, then whatever draft capital they bring back would need to factor into a trade for a big wing.

Yeah, I think trading Bogey would be dumb unless you're getting a defensive minded starting caliber forward back.

The whole idea of trading Clarkson is that we dont even have to get a positive offensive or defensive player back to get better, just get someone who isnt a huge negative on either end.

ALso, Yuta Watanabe kind of in a minutes crunch. Raptors are mostly healthy and playing their main rotation guys heavy minutes. Watanabe seems to be on a decline. Utah should buy low.

Clarkson just seems to be in his own head this year. All mental.

I would make this deal in a heartbeat.

Problem is he didn't have 3 decent games in the row. This year he's hurting team alot more than ppl can see. He is fun to wach sometimes but man this is like cow who give you 20 litars of milk and than hit bucket milk is gone

Do not show this to Quin or the FO.

I'm going to pretend this metric is the truth, even though I'm not sure how it is calculated since it feeds in to my following opinions:

- Royce is good at defending wings, but not as good at defending guards
- Marcus Smart can guard wings despite his size
- FO missed out on Herb Jones

If we had drafted Herb Jones, we might not be rushed to do anything right now. We could make a minor move on the fringes to add another perimeter defender, but that's about it. Huge miss passing on him.


But back to our current situation, we have to get Smart. Perimeter defense is such an issue right now that we must address it with a guy like Smart. Hopefully, we can get the deal done with Clarkson.

Who would Quin play him over?

Herb or Smart?

Jazz wanted a backup PG to give Conley rest
That's what they were targeting in the draft
They had no interest in any other position
