Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[Eddie Zero]

Thats a good point. Sexton may run into the same problem in the starting lineup though with Clarkson being more of an on-ball player as well.

For Sexton to make any sense in the starting 5 imo, he has to be the point guard .No matter how rough a transition it is going from a true floor general like Mike to a score first pg,that is his best play if he is a starter. The only other play is to draft a Lamelo type and play Sexton off ball with him. It is a hard to find archtype though. I would rather see a Sexton + Ochai back court if Sexton can prove to be efficient as a floor general not just a scorer. If not the off guard would have to be more of a creator than Ochai is currently. Maybe Sexton should just come off the bench as a microwave, but I think it caps his ceiling. Which given his apparent insane work ethic over others in general is doing not only him but the team a disservice. imo if they want him to play the 6 they should trade him and let him do it for a team needing a starter caliber 6 not a team in a rebuild

There are actually a few nice plus sized ball handlers in this draft with a "developing" shot.

Don’t believe this is a particularly reliable source, but

Until Monty comes out with it don’t believe it.

For reals though who knows… Tony has told us they don’t want to be bottom of the barrel but Ainge might be spooked by the losing… LA should be reaching out to everyone as they are dangerously close to letting go of the rope here if they don’t figure something out. 0-5 with Lebron and AD healthy is horrible… wait until those guys miss a few games for injuries or maintenance. Pelinkas “patient” approach is backfiring.

 

[Engorged On Unborn Gore]

Pelinka caving to Lebron's wish to sign Westbrook in the first place shows that he has no approach to speak of.

Bad grammar in the 2nd tweet doesn’t give me a lot of confidence.

Too many JC iso's this quarter.

Wrong thread bro? Hahaha..

I think the FO will give this team a minute if they keep up a decent record. If we trade it's probably closer to the trade deadline unless Lakers or another team is desperate and offers us something we can't say no to. Kind of like the Gobert trade, that was an easy yes.

Not to mention that Mike has looked like the only guard who has real chemistry with Lauri. Whenever Mike is running the show, Lauri starts cutting more and tends to go off, leading to a much better Jazz offense overall. (I haven't checked the on/off numbers, this is just based on the eye test and a gut feeling).

And that is why you will not see a decline in Lauri. He needs hard work, focus on details from coaching. He only got this sporadically in Chicago and Cleveland. And Mike Conley gives you in spades in practice. I think Lauri becomes much better when he gets that development focus that a coach would give or..which Mike Conley gives. Lauri will not decline but will get better this year. Look for his 3pt shooting to start climbing too.

It may take a Godfather package to get the good players from this team if they keep this up. Overall, the team is proving a tough out. Hardy is coaching his arse off, everyone is playing with a chip and just having fun. Utah can beat you in a lot of different ways and they always have a puncher's chance because of their shooting. Just wow.

Bull looked pretty solid at the pg spot with Milke out I thought.

FWIW, per Tony Jones, the Jazz will not be picking up the options for either Dok or Bolmaro which means they will both be UFA's next summer.

No surprise.
