2023 Trade Rumors and Gossip Involving the Jazz

I get what Boston did but Zinger may not be a championship team first guy and Boston has a lack of leadership. I could see that going very wrong.
I think the original deal made more sense (sending out Brogdon) but sending out Smart who is a culture guy, a great defender who can also offensively do some stuff is just weird. KP also will be the 3rd guy to eat and I dont think he will be content in that role.
 
Why can’t we ever get the guy that irrationally wants to stay with Utah? Lol. Guess we emptied the bank with Stockton and Malone. Haha
Rudy ain’t as good as Dame but he definitely would have wanted to be here. Don and Gordo wanted out.
 
The one thing that the article did add is that the front office are prone to trust the coaches mostly in terms of whether they think a particular player has a path to improvement under the coaching staff. If Hardy is indeed high on Black, that could be a hint that Hardy thinks Black's shot is improvable (or maybe it means nothing).
Shooting splits. Open (no defender) 3pt shot for Black was 47%. That's a hint he will be outstanding shooter. Plus in workouts they say his shot looks better and consistent.

100% and I’m sure Boston is gutted right now. Also you have some prickly personalities… Brogdon, brown, Zinger… and Joe Mazz coaching em… there is some tinder and gas in Boston… better not strike a match.
 
Wtf, are the wizards even doing? lmao. They're trading all their players for 0 picks
Well, having Beal under a no trade clause really hamstrung his value. He would only wave the no trade clause for two or three teams. And if only one of those teams says yes they don’t have to pay top dollar and KP with his injury history just isn’t worth what he used to be.

That’s my best guess.
 
So overpay for a team that is going to be a perenial loser?

The Jazz got value out of their players because their players won. The Wizards didnt have that luxury. They made great moves. They were late, but better late than never.
You pay for what you get. You pay them now so they get more return in the long run. You don't pay Kuz & zingis of course you get nothing.

Yes they were late and missed the window completely. But since they were already this late , why not just extend kuz&zingis so they give themselves another window instead of throwing the towel. They were so late that there's simply no point in trading them now cuz they got zero leverage.

Sometimes nothing is better
 
We had one, and he netted us one of the biggest asset hauls in NBA history last year.
I’m talking about the dudes you can really market and are the most popular players in the league like a Dame, or Giannis. Those are two dudes in small markets that seem to want to stay put.
