Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[FrenchJazzFa]

Let's see what the coming weeks bring. For me few things to take into consideration :

- Rudy was a great player but not near a superstar able to bring you a title. A guy who can't shoot cannot be your second star.
- Don is a great player but not near a superstar as well. A guy who don't defend and show not much leadership cannot bring you a title.

The only way he had work was to add 2 great players around them. We failed, Bogda and Mike are good but not good enough. And i won't speak about Royce who will never be a starter in a good team.

Now what we do :
- Blow it all and pray for good picks? Risky strategy. NO get Zion and are far from beeing good . Knicks get Barrett high and they sucks...Memphis ( the other team i follow) have been blessed getting Ja but this might be not enough to win a title. They have now a win- 2-3 years windows and after that, Ja will request to move to bigger market.
Not a simple way to go. Ainge seems to take to way of re-building. This may work but for ne only on one condition. We have to be good again as fast as possible ( 2-3 years). If we failed, we're done. UTah is small market and chance to get great players on FA are very narrow...

Off of basketball reference. I don't know if they run the numbers though.

By the way, the top is Stephen Curry and the Bottom is Donovan Mitchell their first five years in the league. The numbers show no real comparable behavior.

Also, Mitchell does compare better to Monta Ellis. More like Monta Ellis with a three point jump shot. The comparisons between the two would match up pretty well I think if either Mitchell couldn't shoot a 3 or Ellis could.

That's why i think Ainge is in a perfect position. He got an offer he cannot refuse ( 6 picks minimum) then he can go for a complete rebuild or the offer just not enough and we can still have a competitive team this year. Who knows, we may be a good surprise and in this case, Don value will remain high.

I know it’s been mentioned numerous times before here somewhere, but can someone remind me when the players we acquired from MIN can be aggregated with other players in trades?

More importantly, what's everyone having for breakfast on Thursday?

I don't attack anybody. I literally just dig my heels in with the exact same stance I have had for years. And it drives yall ******* crazy.

I have been saying the same things over and over and over.

You said most asinine thing I ever seen and you said Donovan is comp to Steph Curry. Please stop and thank you.

On Jake Fischer's podcast he said he thinks a lot of front office people around the league are on vacation right now, he expects things to start to pick up around the middle of August.

Of course they do. Go to basketball reference and compare year to year Steph to Don years 1 through 5. Across the board, they are damn close. Steph is no doubt the better shooter. Of course.

Just do the research. Don and Steph at age 25 were both known for great offense and suspect defense.

Starting year 6, Steph really starts work on his HOF top 15 all time status. Helps that he got to play with 2 emerging HOF (Klay and Dray), Finals mvp Iggy and the rest of a sublime GS cast and crew.

I'm not saying Don will have a Steph career. However, their first 5 years are extremely similar. Pros and cons to both sides. Limiting Don's potential because the many issues of the 2021-22 season is unfair. Put him in such a good spot as Curry's, and who knows how good he could be. Nobody knows. All just talking heads with opinions.

Don't discount how great Don has been. Like Rudy - imperfect, but really damn good.

No, the funny thing was, there was much less focus on the negatives of Donovan.

You may not realize but you are essentially challenging all of us to say negative things about Donovan all day every day because of your overly defensive and illogical support for him.

You are the number one motivation for negative Donovan comments.

P.S. don't ****ing DM me (and I don't mean be a ****** teammate like Donovan Mitchel, I mean send me direct messages, we're not cool like that).

1 to 10 scale, how close are you to porn bombing Jazzfanz again? Just give me a five minutes heads up if ya do. That was hilarious.
