It'd be as insane as Indiana stealing Haliburton

****ing ridiculous that the Jazz touted “positionless basketball” forever and then didn’t follow that philosophy whatsoever. They tried like crazy to find centers and a point guards. What they needed all along was wings. ****ing morons. Goes to show they needed to follow a bpa approach.

I’ve been a devout Jazz fan for 36 years, and I feel like after all of that time of unwavering support and money spent, it’s fair to say they owe me 1 favor.
Well, I’m ready to cash that favor in and I want it to be at least 1 season of Patrick Beverly in a Jazz uni! Please!

If you put it that way then the handling of starting PG position was just as damaging. Investing multiple FRPs(one of which was a lottery pick) on PG rentals that each have only produced no more than two good seasons of basketball, especially when teams have showed that you can win without one.

Boston. Burnt multiple assets for a starting PG in Kyrie then Walker. Couldn't get out of the East.
Also Boston. Got rid of all their luxury PGs and gave Marcus Smart the job. Made it to the Finals for the first time in 10 years.

Did they also trade Fultz for Tatum? Boston started hoarding wings and I seem to remember they took some flak for not taking Fultz. I don't remember exactly, but that move seemed to have worked out pretty well.

I'm aware of that, but getting two seasons of Ricky, 1 with Hill, and two good seasons of Conley over that period for the 4 picks (and also the Exum pick I guess) is better than getting a half season of good Favs for 3 FRPs. We also invested in guys that were starters and not trying to backup a position we filled with a 30-40M a year cornerstone.
The process/logic has to be sound for me. If you need a starting point guard and use some draft capital to get them then it at least makes some sense. The amount of capital allocated to a backup position while adding no variance is staggering... to fail to address the need is just incredible.

bill simmons trade value column - this is a homeless man's version of those he used to do back in the 00s, but while one can quibble with a few of his placements, it's pretty representative of reality, imo. though i think you'd struggle to pry LeBron away from LAL in spite of his age - i'd probably put him in group C, D or E.

Lakers won a chip with Caruso as their starring PG.
I know there's Curry but fancy PGs usually can't get the job done. CP3 who's the absolute ceiling of a traditional PG was mocked for struggling to get out of the second round. t's definitely a wings league.
That dynamic would be wild. PB isn’t ok with the **** DM calls defense the last 2 seasons
