What upgrades are needed to make us a contender?

What if the Jazz traded for Klay? Assuming he gets healthy.

I wouldn't want him. I don't think Warriors want to trade him, but in any case he's making $40M+ this year and next, not an easy salary match.
Conley + Beasley for Klay works, but I'm pretty sure that makes us worse, and if we're not trying to be good, I don't see any reason why we'd want Klay.

Agreed. Klay's not mental or anything, but I don't see where he's helping us for the potential cost.
 
Klay had few stellar games in the playoffs, but he was not the force he used to be and very inconsistent. I wouldnt touch him. There is a reason Warriors are looking to ship him, and its not tanking.

I doubt they are actually looking to ship him.
 
This is tricky because part of the magic right now is the lack of ego . . . bring in somebody who thinks they are the alpha right out of the gate and it upsets the apple cart.
 
It's too early to tell really. I think we need to wait and see what is sustainable in longer term, who will develop and who will come down to earth, what will be our problem once teams start to figure us out better.
 
This is exciting. I have a feeling this thread could pop off soon.

I suppose I'll temper my enthusiasm because my eye tells me we haven't beaten an "elite" team yet. But if we can get through this next swing, 14-6 looks very realistic through 20 games. Not a small sample size.

Grizzlies, Nuggets, Mavs were playoff teams last year. Wolves too, but Im not sure if they are contenders this year the way they are playing.

Griz would be #1 in West with 7-2 and Nuggets would be 6-2 had they never played us.

Maybe they didnt look elite, because we made them look worse than they are. Thats what good teams do.

What ever, but one bad trade can destroy and dispel everything good, beautiful, and in longer run, constructive, proactive, progressive, nice, neat, and beloved. No, no haste.

Jazz do not need any big ego-star, blackholing entire system
Jazz do not need any trade for sake of trade for the system
Jazz have benchful of players who are eager to challenge everything, for the system
Jazz have pipeline of guys who would do almost everything to get an opportunity to warm a bench of the system
Jazz have a legion of future hopes who are currently watching, and hoping they would get picked by the system

Dammit. GM must be total fool if he even consider any schemes right now. He can see what we can see, and much more, but...

He must also understand that he is successful in his job when he doesn't have to do anything. Absolutely nothing. Nil. Zero.

It is always bad habit to quote oneself. With this Jazz, it is not. Everybody was wrong.

Only total idiots even mention a word 'tank' in their random outcomings. We are at the Fansite, PERKELE!
