Jazz trade Fonteccio to Pistons for 2024 2nd

I would wait until after the deadline to declare what direction they are headed. This pick could be re-routed in another deal. It is a day early.

But yeah I haven't bought in to the narrative that they for sure want the pick to convey. I think they are cool with whatevs.

We'll see....but I don't think we've really been linked to any player that could help us win. Like the DJ stuff, that's all speculation and I don't think I've actually seen a report of the Jazz being a suitor. Unless that pick is rerouted, they truly dgaf about the play in....which to me is the same thing as wanting the pick.

This isn't to say this is a bad direction to go either....but time is ticking Danny.
 
Your best wing defender who is also your 2nd best shooter is important to your success especially when he is quite literally your only wing player (unless you want to count Ochai and if Ochai is suddenly a 26 MPG player the Jazz are in trouble.

If he had that much interest, the Jazz could've gotten more for him than a second round pick. But we'll find out in a few months.

- Bojan hasn't even been able to garner a FRP -- it's not the market you think he is.
- to the "we had zero danger of losing him" crowd -- yes if you're a dunce and only look at contracts 1 to 1, he is an RFA and we could have kept him. If you are looking at things from an asset management perspective, you have to think about whether it makes sense to sign Simone to the price he would have commanded if he continues his season in Utah. And no, it wouldn't have been 5-7 million. Double the latter number, and start there.
- even with point 2, the question is do you go through this process, or are you sensing that you're a chip short and you can snipe better talent in this window with that pick?

if you follow the NBA, you'll realize how many incompetent FOs there are (Toronto's, for starters). Utah's is not one of them.

100% agree, and to add to this, Simone is not young. He's not in the window the Jazz FO are targeting...

Lol you're 100% correct. These guys hating were crying when guys like Borris Diaw and Raul Neto left embarrassingly. Don't pay much attention to them on this particular issue.

I will say I was upset when we lost NAW -- but I've been vindicated in that regard.

Agree with all of this... except we've been linked to Murray through a couple rumor mongers. One for sure with Jake Fisher.
