What are y'alls thoughts on Locke's opinion that we need a big wing. Locke thinks a big wing will give us more lineup diversity and allow us to roll out a lot more small ball lineups, possibly with Lyles at the 5. We could have shooting at all 5 positions against bigger lumbering teams. I find it intriguing. Kind of like rolling out a red instants deck to counter against a more classic green elf deck - no mana burn.

Well NAOS, and several others, have been promoting that idea for up to a season +. Several names have been mentioned, such as Bazemore, that can guard both wing positions and add shooting.

Seems the Jazz FO is on the right track but 1 year behind Jazzfanz lol.
 
I'm not sure what's the deal with Solomon Hill this year. But I sorta think he can play. He could be a good under-the-radar kind of signing.

EDIT: I'd rather have E'Twaun Moore, though.

I've been saying get a big wing since I started posting here.. Thats why I used to suggest Al Farouq Aminu every offseason!!

Here's the move;

MAX Harrison Barnes!!
 
I don't even know if he's a FA or healthy, but James Johnson was a terrific defender at one point, with versatility. Guy like that could help.

Barnes isn't even that good.

He's a good shooter though, and could handle more attempts and score close to 15ppg in a featured bench role.. He's good enough to get that kind of contract at 24..

He's a vacuum player.. they have enough ball-handlers on the team.. he'll add spacing to the offense..

They could use a big wing and when you think about it he's Kanters age so it's kinda like the $$ they'd have needed to sign him..

Barnes is high character too, I think he'll just be looking for the max, which Utah will have room to give him. He reportedly turned down 4 years 64 mil from GS..

They could play lineups like

Hood(or Burks)-Hayward-Barnes-Favors-Gobert
Exum-Hood-Hayward-Barnes-Gobert(or Favors)
Exum(or Neto)-Burks-Barnes-Lyles-1st rd pick

More recent one is last summer I was posting max Tobias Harris.. No way they miss the playoffs with him on the roster.. and with Gobert/Favors missing 20 games each he'd have had plenty of minutes (Including Ingles minutes)..

They'd have probably been in contention for home-court if he put up #'s like he's done in Detroit..


FWIW I like Barnes more than Tobias..
