This. Knowing that even our starting 4 is likely going to be really a borderline third string player, any disruption there will be catastrophic.
At which position do we feel least comfortable?
- Thread starter Keefe
- Start date
I wish! We'd have dozens of championships by now.
Signed with the Blazers.
Of these, I would easily prefer Kelly Oubre, but I doubt he's available.
Vince Carter, Trey Lyles, Amir Johnson, Jonas and Jabari are interesting I think. I don't think we need another C, like Dwight, Nene, Mejri.

And they paid $10 million per year for him so he wasnt even close to being in the budget.
Jonathan Simmons and Avery Bradley would both offer serious depth at the 1 - 4 spots if we could get either on minimum contracts. Both are defensive minded and above average players.

And none would be as good for the jazz as bojan will be. He is a perfect fit with this team and quin system

I definitely think Joe will play some 2 as well, at least if needed. Not worried here.
Bojan will play a lot of 4 minutes I think. There will be opponents where we will struggle (against AD, LaMarcus Aldridge), but against a lot of teams I think Bojan or even Royce will be just fine.
Can Avery Bradley defend 4's? He's not very big at all.
2004 Pistons are my favorite team outside of the Jazz. They were a bunch of misfits and underestimated players (and Darko), but they played great defense and got the title.How much does Rasheed Wallace have left in the tank?
Pistons Rasheed would be perfect right now...
Is he better than 2 of them though? And his fit is badly overrated, we have somewhat serious questions about who's starting at the 4 right now due to that signing.

Since when was Kelly Oubre a 4/5?

I concur 100%! In todays NBA you can never have enough good outside shooters! It opens up play for everyone else on the floor! Even without the best of shooters when they were hitting we had a parade to the dunkathon line!

What about Faried?
Would love Booker on a minimum contract to have another body to throw at 3/4s.

Yes he is better than two of them cause he raises the ceiling of the team.
Basically bojan makes our best better than two of the guys you mention.
But two of the guys you mentioned makes our floor higher (our worst case scenario is better with 2 other guys instead of bojan)
We want to win a ****ing championship this year. You want more top end players for that. So bojan is better than two ok players for that goal

As for fit he is absolutely perfect for quins system and offense.
And it allows jingles to come off the bench and run the 2nd team which is also ideal.
Yes our starting 4 won't be really good.
Give me a list of teams with 5 top end talent players starting. There aren't many, if any at all. It's ok to have a Jeff green starting if the other 4 guys are all star or near all star level players. There is only one ball after all.

I’ve also seen it posted several times in recent threads.

I would actually still say it's quite clearly PG. Conley is old, and holds a player option... Dante's not the torchbearer... Mudiay's a backup.
People here would actually be SHOCKED at how well Ed Davis would perform if Rudy went down wirth injury, he'd be cult hero status here... Ed Davis has always been pretty good, and pretty underrated, he's not dynamic enough to grab ppls attention, but I'm quite certain that if Rudy went down Ed Davis would make this new GM look real smart..
It's definitely not like if Rudy goes down in game 1 that playoff chances would be doused, Ed Davis would hold it down and the Tony Bradly experiment would be forced onto the big stage..
