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

I think he's a better defender than JC. He has good tools if he stays focused.
 
I can't imagine Joe getting anything above the minimum next year, and even then not sure who does that. If the Jazz want to bring him back, which they should, it should be well within their capability of doing so.

If we can now ship JC, Hernangomez and a low or protected pick off to Houston for Eric Gordon it will be MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!
And I'm really one of the few JC apologists on this board, but he's just redundant with NAW on board. Sure the kid is still figuring it out, but like Clarkson, he's got the athletic gene in spades and he's got some extra length as well. His numbers are bad because he was a bench scorer with the green light down in NO as well without the benefit of the experience that Clarkson had when he landed here.

But the real bonus would be getting Eric Gordon! Hushed tones here. I don't care about metrics but his numbers are outstanding, particularly 3 pt shooting. It's the character, the killer instinct. This guy is just a cold blooded assassin. Talk about Jazz killers, this is the guy! With EG we might finally have that piece that can push us over the top in a physical playoff slugfest! I mean if Snyder doesn't get in the way.

Does he have anything left in the tank? He was good... 3 years ago. What about now?

He hasn’t lost a thing as far as I can tell, 427 from three, boards and assists up from last season as well. Not really too worried about the injury thing as some folks are. I mean Houston is in rebuild mode (plantar fasciitis). He would have been a shoe in to win the 3 pt contest. Would make us the best 3 pt shooting team in the league by a mile!

My only concern is that we may have to include another team to make it work (the straight up rule).Houston’s stipulation is to shed salary. If Ainge pulls this gambit off and we win a championship in the wake of it……..somebody write a song about him!!!!

Statistically he's been worse on defense this year than JC. I agree he has the tools to be better though.

Not a huge believer in a lot of defensive metrics. I have a hard time imagining hes worse... but whatevs. I'm not convinced he sees the court. He gonna get Reddished.
 
I feel like Quin loves Joe so much that he will ensure anyone we got in this trade is unsuccessful. He may even do some **** that causes the Jazz to have to shell out $11M to settle a lawsuit.

I'd be worried if I was Ryan.
 
Also I think NAW is an addition for next year. Danny gonna trade Rudy in the offseason and Donovan gonna sit out a year... NAW serves as tank commander to get us the #1 pick.
