Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[whatthe]

Well, the top 12 in this year's draft maybe..maybe is the key word..better than Collins. I think he is a proven quality vet. So if we give up the Brooklyn pick to get him, I think that would be an upgrade. Vando...Vando may have better longterm value so I would be hestistant to move him. THT for Collins yeah go for it.

What’s the point of this? Is this supposed to convince me he should be on this team? He got his numbers and his L

The more Lauri has to bang with true bigs on defense, the more his offense will suffer. Markkanen is a 7 footer but he doesn't really have center size or length. Someone like Jokic looks like a giant standing next to him.

I’ll have whatever you’re smoking.

Who knows how accurate these are, but Markannen is listed at 240, Jokic at 284. That’s a significant difference.

I bet Joker is closer to 270 right now but the 240 for Lauri is probably accurate. Why anyone would view Lauri as more than a spot center makes no sense to me. He is a pf.

Jesus Christ. I had no idea Jokic was playing at 284. Would have guessed 260. Boy is thiccc

Sure, like I said, I think WK is probably like a 25 MPG center. That leaves 23 minutes per game for another center, which would be some amount of Lauri Markkanen. A fully fleshed out Jazz roster would simply be unstoppable with Lauri at the 5 if you can put the right pieces around him.

And the option of going big would always be available as well, if it was needed.

With the influx of skilled 6'10+ players you are going to see a lot more interchangeable 4/5 types and teams playing two of those players at once.

This is interesting. I think a Lauri/Collins/Kessler big man rotation would be very good.

If all three start but Collins gets a decent amount of minutes at the 4 next to Lauri at the 5 it could work extremely well.

I want a Wiggins type wing to go along with Lauri

Yep. We should be looking for a true sf rather than forcing a square peg into a round hole.

Or… stay with me here… we get the best talent possible and worry about fit later.
