I think Jabari is an issue because he makes $20 million not because his defensive flaws. If he was making $10 million, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to trade Thabo, Neto and a protected 1st for him. He has offensive talents that our franchise rarely or ever has attained. We are on the brink of contention, but we lack another scorer who can create points and also shoot.

I would gamble on Parker, but I just find a hard time coming up with the salaries necessary to acquire him.

Oubre seems like he’s kind of a knot head but I’m surprised a team isn’t more interested in him. Not a good fit for us personality wise or I’d say we could give up some stuff to make that trade happen.

I agree. I've never been that enamored with Oubre. Seems like a really solid player who might emerge with more opportunity, but still doesn't seem like the best fit here.

I do worry about Memphis if they got him for a cheap as that deal was. Oubre might emerge there because they need more help on the wing.

I know Jabari isnt a all defensive team player, but he isnt as bad as you think he is. The **** team he is on just drags down his "advanced stats"

If you added Jabari on the Jazz I would go as far as to say our defense would get better than it currently is. The reason for that is simple. Improve the offense then you improve the defense automatically. Just by the simple fact you arent clanking as many shots and chasing down fast breaks. The defense has time to get set.

Lmfao.

*20 million EXPIRING contract.

if we trade for him we have to guarantee his contract for next year(the situation is similar to Mirotic last year), which means we have to punt on the high end FA this coming summer.

And for the record - yes, Jabari is indeed as bad as his numbers suggest he is, especially on defense.

 

[Miggs]

A guy who plays no defense and shoots 33.8% from 3 for his career. What’s not to like?

 

[LoPo]

Like I said, if Jabari was making $10, he's worth the gamble. At $20, no thanks.

FTR, there would be a time to get a guy like this. It’s just not now. He needs to sit and rot on the bench and let it all stew for a long time to really make him miserable and get him thinking about who he is as a player and who he wants to be imo.

I’d say maybe in the off-season if we swing and miss on the free agents we long for but I just don’t see how that’s even feasible given Jae and Favors. Sure we could let Favors walk but that doesn’t seem prudent. Not for Parker on a one year deal.
