Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

* desperate. They're thinking..."Hmm, the T'wolves made a shortsighted play for Gobert. Maybe we can get in on some of that..."

I'm fairly certain that the Nets offered that before Minnesota traded for Rudy.

Not exactly KD's preferred destination, but maybe the idea is that Minny would then forward KD on to PHX for PHX's trade package. That said, teams aren't going to give up their #1 guy for KD.

If there's any truth to this the Nets front office is delusional. You could argue that KAT is around the same value as KD.

Nets management sucks. Reactionary.

They don’t have any picks to trade left that was definitely before the Gobert deal.

Had to have been before the Gobert deal methinks. At least I hope. I had some respect for Marks before this whole fiasco.

Ainge said this season we are going to be a up and down transition team , run n gun so I dont expect many lollygaggers on the team this year that cant run

THe weirdest thing is just how bad Mitchell has been in transition. Those stats are actually insane when you consider how athletic and explosive he used to play. Here are his percentiles in transitions since entering the league:

-2017/2018 - 38.1 percentile
-2018/2019 - 13.2 percentile
-2019/2020 - 9.5 percentile
-2020/2021 - 24.5 percentile
-2021/2022 - 24.6 percentile

Those stats are bonkers. It's kind of hard to believe it when you see it. This is one of the things that's holding back Mitchell the most... the play type that most superstars excel at and bump up their efficiency with is the one where Mitchell struggles with the most. He's actually really good at the hard parts of offensive creation.... but the really easy stuff he needs massive improvements with.

ESPN trade machine is showing 4 years at around $30M for Ayton right now….kind of interesting.

IDK how the stat is configured but it makes sense when you think about what he has had around him. We were so unathletic on the perimeter.

It's not that weird. He's a terrible 1 foot jumper and he's 6'1. He also prefers to walk the ball up the court. He's never been a transition pusher.

His game is predicated off Gobert getting him open.

It's not about volume. It's about success when you actually do it. In essence when he tried to score in transition he was not good at it.

He's the biggest reason we've been bad in transition though. there's plenty of teams who arent great athletically who excel in transition off the 3. Don is a serial walk the ball up the court guy tho.

Conley, Rudy and Bojan are so well known for their end to end speed and athleticism.

While Royce is afraid to dribble. If Clarkson gets it, he has to shoot within two dribbles, and he sucks from 50 feet.

Makes for great transition basketball....
