Potential Trade Targets

Personally... I don't forgive them per se. Not like they asking me. I hate that Mailman and Stock have both lost their shine in various ways. We are just stuck with it as those guys are woven into the fabric of the franchise history. With politics we are really given two ****** choices and there can be moral dilemmas.. its a Sofie's choice sometimes.

We have a lot of ways and choices when it comes to building the franchise. To willing chose to go for that guy is another level imo. I'm also not someone who would stop watching if we traded for him. It would just be gross... just like how its gross to have Karl be part of my fanhood and to have a President with as much ******** as Trump.

Also, the thing Karl did was in the 80's. Not to excuse it, but he was from central Louisiana, which means he basically lived in the 1950's. He was on his Jerry Lee Lewis. The really ****ed up thing is how long he just acted like it didnt happen.
 
Not this again... I assume someone mentioned Giddey and now this thread is going to be filled ten pages of useless debate? I come here looking for rumors
 
Ochai surprises me a lot. At times they are "oh my" super athletic surprising moments. Other times they are star tree's George Takei Ohhhhh Myyyyyy he really botched that moments.

Keyonte is in the exact same boat though.

They are both still learning and have room to grow. I like Ochai. But summer league Ochai was very disappointing.

So B/R thinks that Dejounte Murray to the Jazz is a possibility and that we would be the frontrunners in such a deal. Yes it is intriguing, however it means that all of a sudden that DA who has projected the Jazz as a Seller does a 180 to being a big time buyer. It would require at least two firsts and players as we'd be in competition with the Lakers. But he'd certainly be an upgrade at the point - B/R makes the case for his return to Floor General.

That's terrible.

We all know DM would be coming in with the attitude that he owns this team and will do whatever he wants. In the media, the trade would be framed as "Utah finally found their #1", which would make me puke.

Just don't understand the love affair people have with this type of player. We need guys ready and willing to play team ball.

Heard the locked on hawks guy talking about him and it definitely made me move more towards passing on him. Nothing crazy… just some stuff that would likely drive us crazy.

They are not in the same boat. Keyonte is a rookie that played one year in college and just turned 20. Ochai played 4 years and has a season of NBA experience under his belt and will be 24 in April. Ochai's shooting has regressed. His percentages have been poor for a while, and even worse, they aren't small misses. Hey may end up turning a corner, but his window to do so is much smaller than Keyonte's. He has has some very good transition D, but as others have said, his half court defense is just ok. I would not be sad to see him traded for a decent frp.

Key does a lot of good and bad stuff, which is normal for a 20 year old. He still needs to improve a lot, especially in D and lazy passing, but despite his poor 3pt% his shot looks pretty good, usually missing back iron. I expect he'll take a big leap next year.

The whole DM discussion is a real head scratcher to me as: a) he doesn't appear to be the problem, and b) he has decent stats and has been on a tear recently. Watching him interact with Snyder, I think it has more to do with aloof persona which might also be interpreted as defiant. He doesn't always do what he's instructed to do. He might fit in better here or he might be the next THT dog in the doghouse.

Also I suspect that Snyder is pushing for a trade as it means draft capital and gives him a reprieve for the season.

The Jazz and OKC would be front runners in any deal they wanted to be in on....

Ochai window is still pretty huge. He has two more years on his roomie deal.
