Adding another wing to the Jazz

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

So lets say the Jazz could trade Ante Tomic and another young player to a struggling team for a steady wing player. Would you do it to improve the team now?

Honestly if Raja can keep this play up we'll be fine.

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

Maybe. Memo for Steven Jackson. Or Memo and the rights to Tomic for Steven Jackson.

My only concern is that we're playing so well right now and Jackson coming here would want a minimum of I'd guess 25 minutes a night (and that's a low estimate) which would cut significantly into Bell, Miles and AK's time, thus affecting team chemistry and perhaps morale.

So my actual answer is probably, no, not for right now. But let's see how we evolve as a team over the next 30-45 days, especially when Memo returns, and make a decision then.

 

[Harambe]

No. Stay with what we've got... we're gonna be fine.

I wouldn't mind another wing player for depth. If CJ, AK or Raja miss several games we could be in trouble. Hayward hasn't shown he can even handle backup minutes.

Hayward is on his way to D-league with the amount of minutes he is getting. We just need consistent shooting from Raja, Price, Ak, and especially CJ. Raja has been getting a lot better, as has AK. Price has been on fire. It's really only CJ I worry about.

This is pretty much my thinking. The only two things I'd add are
1) Bell is 34 and Price will not be a solution for the longterm/playoffs and Hayward isn't within a mile of a solution this season. The Jazz should be finding ways to keep Bell fresh and after that there should be time for Jackson. I think.
2) The Jazz need to figure something out before the playoffs. I don't see CJ being a consistent scorer anytime soon, and that's never really been AK's game either. If the Jazz are going to make a trade, the sooner the better so chemistry/minutes/rotation can be worked out.

AK/Hayward/Tomic for Kevin Martin and Shane Battier? Obviously, the Rockets only consider that if they continue to lose and they want to shed salary/bring in youth.

I would say no to this. Martin is a grade A chucker who needs the ball to be effective, he is also a worse defender by far than any of the wings we currently have. I would trade Ak for Shane Battier though. And I count myself as a fan of AK. If we could move Marin to somebody else the trade itself is not bad but I don't think Martin here is a good thing.

We are so deep at the wing position that we have a future all-star that isn't even getting minutes right now.

 

[Beantown]

If it ain't broke don't ******* fix it.

Just play Evans with the 2nd unit. Unlike some other rookie wings trying to learn a new system, Evans has shown some signs of life. Plus he already shaves.
