This isnt the bubble anymore, AD not a top 10 player anymore and that roster is too far beyond broken that some mid isnt going to help it that much.
Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz
- Thread starter Ferguson_Mellochill
- Start date
Which is almost as funny as thinking health isn’t a concern for a guy who has played 252 out of 400 possible games in his career.
Passing is a fundamental skill for all players to have for basketball to be a aesthetically enjoyable experience IMO.
The Jazz became a multi-headed version of the Harden era Rockets and it sucked.
Never said it wasnt a concern, the concern level just doesnt outweigh the potential rewards of his talent level. Learn to read.
When the **** has Bogey become a mid player? He’s one of the best non-star players in the league.
He basically offsets his offense with his defense every year and he hurts your team's rebounding ability greatly unless you have a GOAT rebounder at center and/or highly productive rebounding guards.
High effort individual defender in the PO but still gets absolutely cooked and is a nuclear warhead to your team's ability to rotate on defense.
Undeniably valuable in the right context but I dont think he's a true difference maker if your team isnt elite and in need of his particular skillset.
Combine that with the ever lurking element of father time and you have mid. I will say he is high mid though and easily the best of the Jazz available players.

I liked the term exotic swaps I tried to coin early in this process. I would do a 2028 pick with little to no protections and a Super Exotic Swap in 27 with the picks we own.

While passing is important there are many that think shooting is the most important skill on the court. With our limited passers we had the #1 offense or damn close to it for years.
I just think Bogey has gotten underrated.
I'm not really saying he is bad, I just didnt really enjoy watching him.

A healthy Ball would be a great compliment to Sexton. He would have been perfect fit for DM.
The great thing about Ball is that he could fit with a lot of different iterations of w/e is down the line.
Who gives a ****? That has nothing to do with his value.
It's a forum and I'm expressing my nuanced opinion on basketball players like everyone else. Please hop off my dick. People must give a **** because I get responses.

I'm not sure what you definition of mid is... but Bogey is a really good starter level player. Beasley is a solid starter level player. JC is a great sixth man. Vando is a solid starter in the right scenario. Not saying lakers would be the favorites.... everything hangs on Lebron and AD's health... but that team gives them the best shot they will have to win a title in the next 7-8 years? 10-12 years?
Playing scared and punting on Lebron/AD would be a huge mistake imo. Especially because they wouldn't even get the draft rewards of it failing.

The above factors should be built into any Lonzo negotiation.
I just can’t wrap my head around getting the shortcut surgery. I just can’t.
I also can’t wrap my head around someone prognosticating concern about Sexton’s knee when he did the smart thing and being like “lmao Ball is fine” when he did the dumb thing ON TOP OF his previous spotty history.
I probably still do the trade just on the chance he can get back in TWO YEARS, but you don’t do it unless you’re prepared to allocate $70 million in cap for nothing. Like, does he need to have some **** pulled off a cadaver? That’s the kind of area this might go; sketchy or unproven practices.
