2020 NBA trade deadline discussion

There's no way the Blazers will trade Ariza rn, he's been playing great for them. If the Jazz did that trade with the Kings too, it would've been great.
 
the issue with maker is that he isn't very good offensively. but between him and niang i'd rather have him
 
Problem isn't Conley but the roster construction and fatigue. He seems sharp and quick. Starters are gassed because of having played heavy minutes.

Perhaps DL was expecting Coach Q to utilize one of Brantley and Oni.

he doesn’t look as sharp and quick because he isn’t, by nba standards.

I'm okay if we add a player who isn't an awesome offensive player. We desperately need another perimeter defender.

agreed. unlike shooting, defense is something that you can rely consistently every night. niang is absolutely useless when his shot isn't falling.

maker, when deployed correctly, could become a savage for us on D comes playoffs. he is currently losing his job to a very good Christian Wood, who we have no chance of getting during this season. but maker's contract will also expire in the summer, meaning if we don't like maker's game on offense, we can always use that extra cap space to find his replacement, like his upgrade Christian Wood. but i do think maker's better on defense than wood, having some experience of quality playoffs D with the bucks under his belt. he's just been terribly misused by pistons.
 
Davis, Mudiay, NWG. I think those are the players that could be involved in any Jazz roster changes at the deadline. With the target being an upgrade at backup center.

Davis because he's not a good scheme fit. They'd probably want to keep Mudiay for depth purposes in an ideal world. But he is expendable after the Clarkson addition, and he is a free agent that we probably can't retain this summer. NWG would probably be on the chopping block if we need to open a roster spot to make a trade work or sign a buyout market target because we have Tucker and JWF waiting in the wings.
