I get why Forrest is ahead of him... I just wish they put a little more thought into his development given his contract status. I think he has upside to be a good starting point guard in the league. I'm not sure of a great comp... maybe a Monte Morris with a little more creation. The stuff he can do with the ball is great... just hasn't quite gotten the shots to drop consistently once he makes a move. He also gets his hands on the ball a lot.

If we had him on a 4 year deal I wouldn't really be worried about playing time this year. Could be more patient with him.

I don't think the Jazz are all that committed to Forrest for the long term, tbh. If they were, they would have given him a real contract at some point. See what kind of deal they give him before the end of the season.

I am sure his shooting limitations are holding him back. He needs to fix his shot, get at least respectable from distance.

Yeah, but he hasn't been able to do it in the past 2 years. And it's not like he shoots like Rondo or Westbrook. He's shooting nearly 10 percentage pts below those guys.

I think they are... I think he gets a two year minimum... which is the most they can offer. We love our projects... we hold on to ****** ones... why would we let one go that actually is okay.

It's a good value and he's worth a roster spot even if the shot doesn't work (which I don't think it will). Trent can defend and he can drive... even if that's all he is he can be a 10-15 minute a night guy.

His shot won't ever be good imo. The difference between Rondo and Westbrook is they don't defend well (anymore)... either of those guys is just dandy in a 10-15 minute a night role on a minimum deal.

Trent has 2 NBA skills... that is enough to justify some tick and keep him on a minimum.

Donovan also loves Trent... for that reason alone they may offer him a deal.

I do think our backcourt gets a shakeup this offseason... would expect JC or Mike to be moved if we suck in the playoffs.

I know Mike's old AF but he's still playing at such a high level. On the one hand I really don't want to lose him, but on the other hand, I can't help but wonder if we should move him while he still has value. Don't want to wait until he has a big drop-off or injury or something and it's too late.
 
I’ve always kind of thought that the Jazz need to cut one of their “premium” assets by trading for a cheaper, younger asset. They kinda did that if you count NAW as the replacement for Ingles, but it does add long term money and the Jazz could get close to ducking the tax.

Having Bogey+Clarkson is nice, but having both is expensive and you already have a surplus of scoring. Instead of trading all of our picks to get rid of the Oni’s and Tucker’s we could have gotten picks for trading Bogey or Clarkson and still cut money. TBF, it seems like they had a deal lined up for Ingles and Quin said no.

I think we still need to make that type of move. Hopefully Clarkson has some value and we trade him into someone’s space. If not, I think we could do the same for Bogey and get some picks back. At some point you are going to have to rely on a $3M player like Niang instead of a near $15-20M player.

I’m not sure if the Jazz are going to be able to keep Don+Rudy for many more years, but lookout for a Conley+Smart trade going forward.
