Jazz trade Fonteccio to Pistons for 2024 2nd

[FalseFlagg K]

A long wing with athleticism, can get his shot off at 40%, international experience, good defender, excellent team player and part of a tight team chemistry. Yeah not interested in that

You can debate just how good Simone is, but I think it's inarguable that the Jazz just made a trade knowing they will likely get worse and their chances at the playoffs are also the worse. If you can't acknowledge that reality you are lost in the sauce. They don't care about making the playoffs this season.

You are really, really placing a lot of value on a guy who scores 9 ppg, has a -1 rpm and a 116.7 drtg per NBA.com.

Knox gets a lot of hate. Don't be surprised if he has some good games for us. He's not as offensively bad as a lot of people claim.

Knox has 0.6 win-shares... in 6 seasons!

All this hemming and hawing could have been avoided if someone would have just explained the game of basketball to Danny Ainge prior to the trade.

Look, if you want to be extremely semantical and hyperbolic as to what constitutes "poor man's" go ahead. You are being annoying and dumb, but it's your right.

You are too funny. Yea same at you.

Doesn't change the point. I like the dude, but losing Simone doesn't change the playoff/in situation for the Jazz that drastically, if at all.

The amount of people who are acting like 6'8 40% (not extremely high, but pretty high) volume shooters who are positive defenders just grow on trees is wild.

He was growing on a tree in Europe and literally ANY team could have signed him.

I mean we did find the actual Fontecchio on the end of our bench....





I kid. They aren't impossible to find but yeah... there's a reason lots of teams wanted him.

True. There was this 6 foot 9 dude who took 5 threes per game and made 39.4% of them while also getting 1.7 blocks per game last year in college doe. Those dudes dont grow on trees either but some jazzfanz didn't/dont like players like that for some reason.

Ya I talk basketball a lot.
Rarely do I act like losing a 9 points per game dude is the end of the franchise though.

He is still upset that THT is riding the bench. Another one of his great takes on Basketball.

Fonz has probably reached his ceiling. He's a decent player but doesn't move the needle and we're not in win now mode anyways. I like the gamble vs. the known commodity in Fonz. IMO everyone should be shopped except Lauri, Sexton, Kessler and Keyonte.
