2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

Washington seems to be going all in on the current roster. I think they hold onto Otto Porter unless they still have a very bad record in early February. Wall, Beal, Ariza, Porter, Dwight has a lot of potential for the playoffs. I think they would have to be blown away by a trade offer to take it. Something like get them out of the luxury AND get an asset.

Lmao. Dwight Howard is washed up

After coming back from an injury to start the year, Dwight averaged 13ppg and 9.2 rpg in only 26 minutes per game.

He isn't old Dwight, but when you have Beal scoring 23ppg, Wall scoring 21.5ppg, Porter and Ariza, Dwight just needs to rim protect, get rebounds and put back easy buckets.

The Wizards could be a top 4 team in the East if they could all get on the same page (which is why they got Ariza).
 
Lopo says go on money spree in 2020 but come on has SLC become a free agent destination or you just forgetting that part?

What?

I'm arguing against saving for free agency for 2019 and 2020. I'm saying be aggressive, add some offense now, try to win more now, sacrifice short term cap space, and then try to play in free agency in 2021. I don't expect to get anybody in 2021, but I like our chances of getting somebody better in 2021 than 2019.
 
This is garbage. Think about who coaches the jazz. U really think quin will like Jabari. He even said it himself he doesn't play defense. Even though he has lots of athletic ability and upside. No chance
We're struggling big time scoring the basketball. If Quinn is a smart coach he'd sacrifice a bit of defense to gain a lot more offense.

It makes sense IMO.

It just won't happen. Quin's offence just won't work for Jabari. Half court standing in the corner. Wrong system unfortunately. I think Jabari has great athleticism and hopefully he can find the right team to fulfill his potential. But it's not the jazz. I get what you're saying though

Yep.

Look at the guys on our roster who are good defenders but not great on offense (unless they are within 3 feet with a great pass)

Gobert
Favors
O'Neale
Exum
Thabo
Crowder
Udoh
Rubio

Add those 7 guys to Grayson, Niang, and Bradley who never play. That's 11 of our 15 guys. Donovan, Ingles, Korver and Neto have a lot of heavy lifting in terms of bringing their offensive talents on a game to game basis.

His offense would work fine for Jabari. He would give Parker the ball a lot more in the secondary lineups without Mitchell. He'd probably use him like he did Joe Johnson.

Quin doesn't like players like Jabari. He's not a good shooter as well. And unfortunately quin doesn't like great athletes either look at Dante he has him standing in the corner all the time. He likes slow players. Even though I think Joe ingles is really good though but hes an exception.
