Nice Gobert Mix and a Criminal Dunk by Jeremy Evans

[fishonjazz]

Gobert is going to be a star. Love some Stifle Tower. He's a true rim protector, constantly moving to help block and alter shots. He's bigger and more physical. I can easily see him work his way into the starting lineup at some point this season.

Barring injury (big concern with his body type) he should be a solid starter

Perfect background. Dude reminds me on Anilyst.

Agree I like his attitude too- he has some fire

It's just awesome that kid went up like real man.

But he couldn't so he should be waived.

This is Utah Goddamnit!

trade kanter and let the Gobert - favors block party begin.

If I had faith in our outside scoring, I'd say lets do that.

Jazz weren't built in a day. It will happen. Can't afford 3 bigs at $10M plus. Based on his SL play, Jazz have to assume Gobert is on track to get a huge offer in a couple of years. And Kanter will get paid well, even if he sucks. Look around...there are so many 2nd-tier bigs getting a ton of money. Some team is going to take a gamble on Kanter.

Again, Kanter and Gobert are basically the same age. Kanter is only 1 month older.

My bet Charlotte is lining up with a big contract for Burks and /or Kanter, If Gobert makes starting lineup, we should focus on keeping Burks at all costs if he even slightly improves over last season (more consistent from beyond arc)

Burks might be the bigger priority. But the Jazz could look to trade both if the price isn't right. I really think Hood is going to show he's starter-quality. So if they can't sign Burks, Jazz still have Exum/Hayward/Hood to plug in at the 1,2,3. And the same goes for the 4/5. Can go Favors/Gobert with Booker off the bench. And the Jazz should be adding a decent prospect in the #8-12 range at draft time.

However, I've been completely put off by Hayward talking completely detached about the Jazz. Unless he falls in love with Quin, I don't think Gordon will be in a Jazz uniform in 4 years time. He'll opt out and seek his 30% deal. Lindsey needs to do what KOC did with Deron or what Minnesota is doing with Love - trade him for the best deal possible.

However, I've been completely put off by Hayward talking in the third person about the Jazz. Unless he falls in love with Quin, I don't think Gordon will be in a Jazz uniform in 4 years time. He'll opt out and seek his 30% deal. Lindsey needs to do what KOC did with Deron or what Minnesota is doing with Love - trade him for the best deal possible.

+1 to all the above, would have liked to rep but could not
