Ainge is gonna shake **** up. Utah fans have a certain mentality and our logic has never won a ring. Ainge is a champion let him work his magic, he will need to get us out of our norm and comfort zone of doing things. Just trust.

LMAO....You think the Jazz haven't won a ring because the fan mentality, or is because of the people who actually make decisions that fans are supposed to be blind trusting in?

Yeap. This is not the same Jazz anymore. Let's see what DA can do with the limited hand he was dealt with.

That's what I mean, we need to lose this mentality of Utah Jazz kinda guy. We are tripping with this trade, do we even know that these guys won't be on the move again? Ainge was brought here for a reason and that wasn't to keep things the same. I hated DL and I made many threads about him, he embodied the Utah Jazz passive foolish front office moves. Smith, Ainge and company are on a mission to change that. Wade too

February 2022: bro TPEs are incredibly valuable and give you ultimate flexibility to take players that could be key pieces.

February 2023: bro most all TPEs expire and they just don’t get used often across the league. You shouldn’t have any hopes about TPEs.

Repeat process next time we generate a TPE in salary clearing.

If we could package Clarkson and Hernangomez, we could target a sizable contract player

Clarkson and Hernangomez plus a first for Barnes works financially. If the Kings would accept it, that's another question, but they still traded Haliburton, so...

I like it. That's a good deal. NAW hasn't been able to shoot the ball though. He's kind of like Frank Ntilikina in that sense.

Jazz could still be in play with Clarkson and a FRP. Sacramento wasn't interested in Ingles after his injury.
 
If we don't trade JC then this is an awful trade. JC and NAW will be disastrous together off the bench.
 
I don't hate the deal as NAW could become serviceable, Ingles isn't going anywhere (still think he resigns here cheap) and Hughes hasn't proven anything either - what I do hate is that our FO the past several years under DL has essentially handcuffed us into these dead money corners and losing out on all of our future draft capital as filler. Most second rounders don't work out, but it's still alarming to see our warchest so vacant for many years to come.

NAW could be a plus defender in the league, but he's never going to be even a decent three point shooter IMO. Anything we get from him will be as a slasher.

Our length is still an issue - unless JC is getting exchanged for a wing, we are an extremely small team and one that could be infuriating in terms of bench-chucking to watch.
