What's new

Jaren Jackson Jr. traded to the Jazz

I wonder if it's a contingency for Kessler potentially being gone? Because yeah it seems like it would be hard to find minutes for all 4 of those guys. I know we've played Lauri at the 3 a decent amount but it still seems kind of strained to me
Lol I think this goes a bit past contingency
 
I mean, JJJ can't rebound and Lauri's rebounding has gotten a lot worse so like...

This is really awkward, but at least the Jazz realize they have been a tire fire on defense.
You can get a different, cheaper 5 to help with rebound, but yeah, that will be a concern
 
It would be kind of ice cold if we traded Lauri after all this tanking, but it kind of makes sense to?
 
So this means no more Kessler, or at least no more Nurk? I felt like Nurk had revived his career this year and was playing really well. Likely let one or both of them go with a big man logjam? And man, for his size and position JJJ should be a MUCH better rebounder. Not sure how to take this, tbh. Feels like something big(ger), but also feels like a reshuffling and will not be anything special.
 
I think we need at least, oh, 4 more threads on this.

If the Jazz are keeping Nurk and not trading him I expect him to be re-signed. He fits well next to JJJ as a rebounder and passer and shouldn't cost much as a backup quality 5 with questionable defense.
