Jaren Jackson Jr. traded to the Jazz

[jom2003]

That's an overpaid for JJJ not gonna lie. We gotta be super convinced we can compete with him anchoring the defense but I just don't think JJJ is the answer. He can't stay out of foul trouble and will never be the most efficient guy on your team. He currently has negative OBPM and below league avg in offensive rating...

Can't believe we just overpaid for the PF version of Conley and Bane. Kudos to Memphis though for selling high. They are becoming the expert of that.

This was the first thread, no need to be a douche. If I could delete it, I would.

Lol yeah I think we did it at the same time. When I made mine I thought it was fake

You teach Vince Williams to shoot and he's a real piece. Dude is a dog who called out Ja.

i've always liked williams. didn't realize he was having such a ****** year shooting the ball.

JJJ contract:
26-27 - $49M (Age 27)
27-28 - $50.5M (Age28)
28-29 - $52M (Age29)
29-30 - PO $53.5M (Age30)

I mean that isn't terrible for what you are getting. You could definitely move him again at those numbers if you needed to.

It's a pretty big underpay imo

So the ‘tank’ is just completely dead? We don’t even want to keep that OKC pick?

they won't play JJJ. he's always hurt anyway so the league won't even look twice.

JJJ is on a long term contract. He's got no real incentive to play much.

The Jazz have every incentive to play him with Lauri and Keyonte. Sure, they're not going anywhere this season, but next season they actually want to win, right from October out. And that doesn't happen with JJJ not having played with the guys and Kessler having been out for the season.

We're going to have Keyonte, Lauri, and JJJ sandbag the rest of the season.

In terms of player value, the Jazz didn't give up much. Anderson, Niang and (if we're being honest) Clayton Jr. are all journeymen. Jazz should still have a pick in the '27 draft after giving Memphis their best one and Phoenix their worst one.

I'm actually glad the Jazz still have Flip and Cody. Having Cody, Ace and JJJ gives us defensive length.

The next question is what this means for Walker now that we're taking JJJ's contract.

I cant believe im saying this but at least it wasnt Cody over Hendricks

 

[Losing Interest]

For everybody shooting down JJ Jr. and his performance lately, how was LM before the Jazz got him? JJ Jr. may just need a new situation. I am a pessimist, but I am hopeful about this.

Specifically regarding who was included and who wasn't included I would be fascinated on how that conversation went. Did MEM value Hendricks/Clayton Jr, or that was just who we were willing to give?
