The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

I do enjoy watching CMB play. Most of what he does doesn't show up in the box score, but he just does a lot of little stuff that helps win games.

There was a sequence last night where he helps at the rim and blocks a shot, then immediately jump out to the top of the key where the ball eventually swings in time to close out on a three point shot, then rushes down the court to pin down a guard defender where he is able to get an easy basket.
 
"I'm going to tell you, and I know you are recording me, but I get asked all the time: 'Who are some of the tough guys, some of the bad guys?'" Spooner told The Athletic. "And when I tell them that Chris Paul, in my 32 years in the league, was one of the biggest assholes I ever dealt with, they say, 'Not Rasheed Wallace … or da-da-da?' Nope. Nothing like (Paul).

"And they are like, 'Oh, he seems like such a nice guy.' And I say, 'Yeah, he's a great image cultivator.'"

The Clips just finally got fed up with Paul and his BS. Such is life.

Harden hated his *** in Houston. Now that he is really washed you know he was like "get this guy out of here".

I'm guessing Harden had a "protest" in the Miami game and the Clips buckled.

Clips are a Svi trade target imo.

They can't waive CP3 because they can't replace him and stay under the first apron. But Svi's contract is small enough they could stay under the apron if we did a direct swap.

We can also help them out by eating Lopez and Beal salaries. I think we would unironically have to do it down payment style, but it should work under the rules. At the end of the day it would be:

Lopez+Beal+CP3+draft stuff

FOR

Svi, Anderson/Niang

Raw +/-? Doesn’t mean much since the Wizards have been a tire fire the whole time he’s been there, which will be exacerbated by him playing real minutes.

if this were on/off splits that’s an entirely different story.

He's horrible no matter which way you slice it:

Wonder if you could sneak Love in there... they could use those vibes.

Good call. Love has been better than their current backup big situation. Lopez+Beal+CP3 for Svi+Anderson+Love works money wise with no apron issues or need to worry about roster spots. It's the trade that makes the most sense.

We get something from the Clips for sending the better players and eating Beal's money for next year (but muh cap space). We also open up roster spots after waiving CP3, Beal, and Lopez (unless we want his cooked *** to chuck some 3's). Sign Mo, convert Harkless, get a revolving door of prospects going....whatever. Those roster spots have value.

And of course, there's BOGO tank value to this trade.

Just said competition, not clear cut. Cody at least has some defensive ability which Bun absolutely does not.

Good thoughts, I’m just not sure if they have anything to trade that we would be looking for. Checking that out now.

Speaking of BOGO trades, we should maybe be targeting Portland as a team to make better (might help with some Jazz and Timberwolves losses).
 
If Chris Paul gets traded to the Jazz and retires right after it will be the most fitting end to his career possible. Of course he goes out like this.
