Jazz acquire NAW and Juancho Hernangomez for Ingles, Hughes, and two 2nd round picks.

[NUMBERICA]

NAW's shooting is rough...37.5% from the field and 31% from 3.

No way to spin that as anything but horrible.

NAW fits nicely into a role if the Jazz send Clarkson away. But he doesn't fix any of Jazz's issues. He has better length, though and is young.

Jazz surely must send away JC for something. My brain can't fathom JC and NAW on the same roster.

I’ve seen some Eric Gordon rumors…but they’re just rumors and speculation

 

[NUMBERICA]

Yeah sorry y’all, this is garbage. Jazz need to get every drop of utility out of every asset they spend now and if anything, we have too much chucking out of the guard spots. I think we went backwards.

Is there really nothing else two seconds could have grabbed?

 

[Jingled]

I don't see any way JC and NAW can be on the floor together so another deal better be coming.

 

[416Klawzz]

It must be said that NAW has been HORRID this season. Jordan Clarkson is wayyyyy more efficient than him.

Better opportunity here, a more rich coaching staff

 

[LoPo]

Yeah sorry y’all, this ****ing sucks.

If this is it, yeah, it sucks. But you have to put into perspective that New Orleans changed a lot in the offseason, and they didn't really have a facilitator. They were in disarray because Zion stayed out.

This could be a like a Jordan Clarkson reclamation project.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I don't know how to feel either. Addresses none of the problems we have, but saves money and decent value for getting NAW?

IDK. NAW has been awful this year, but he was better the year before and is on a terrible team. Waiting for the follow up where we trade Clarkson+Juancho for something big.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was Gay and JC. I liked Hernangomez at times... I did not expect this to be our direction... it does hint that we don't think we are super close to a title this year unless... lets see what the follow up deal is.

This deal definitely helped with one of our big needs: tax issues. But now the local media guys get to talk about how shrewd we were in turning the rest of our second round picks and Ingles into “a nice young prospect” and talk about dumb **** like “yeah, well since they don’t have any draft picks, this is like getting a first rounder.”

 

[Jingled]

 

[Jingled]

Can anyone fill me in on NAW's defense? I have absolutely no idea what he's like on that end.

Oh good. Another PR win for an even larger TPE we won’t use. “Hey guys, they saved $11M in this deal. They’re DEFINITELY take back an even larger TPE salary that will end up costing them $30M.”
