2020 NBA trade deadline discussion

He did have injuries. But I tell you the main reason why he didn't succeed in Utah. Quin snyder

I get it, you love Dante. But for your own sake you should come to grips with the fact that he is a mediocre talent at best at the NBA level. He's just not that good and that is a direct reflection of why he gets the PT that he gets.

Give the guy a chance.... He's had one legit chance and that was the end of last year before he got injured. And he was really good. He had the ball in his hands controlling the 2nd unit. He was really good. So why not give him a chance to play that way again???

He's had 5 years boss.

What the Jazz need is a guy who is a rebounding machine. I supposed Ed Davis is supposed to be a rebounding machine, but the Jazz need a rebounding machine who can play with Rudy Gobert, so he has to do a few other things like shoot and pass.

U know I'm right.

Serious question, and one that you’ve never answered: how old were you when Dante was a rookie?

woj just said Utah ain't calling anyone and are awaiting for teams to call them.
Sounds like nothing gonna happen

What can Exum and or Davis plus 2 second round picks get us? I think this is the best offer we can make at this point.

Too bad our Warriors 2nd round pick is for 2021. Could have been pretty juicy if it was for 2020.

Bobby Portis, Thaddeus Young, Al-farouq Aminu, maybe Jakob Poeltl (if the spurs don't want to pay him)

Maybe JJ Redick, Evan Fournier, or Terrence Ross

We could probably get Alec Burks back if we really want.

I think Exum needs to play a bit and get his trade value up.

It’s amazing that someone can take that strategy rather than going out and finding what you want. It’s literally the KOC approach. It’s how he approached restricted free agency. It’s how he approached the DWill trade where he only talked to one team and valued “no leaks” over getting better talent.

People complicate the hell out of things. Or at least try to simplify it to a ridiculously stupid level. There was an old episode of King of the Hill where, if I recall, they thought Bobby was gay (or maybe I’m conflating this premise with the Simpsons episode) so they thought because Boomhauer always is able to have success with women, they send him with him to learn his tricks. But this ends up like watching the chef in the kitchen, or learning how a magic trick is done, and it ends up not nearly as spectacular as you envisioned.



If you want something, you’ve gotta go out and try to get it. Now, I know DL occasionally does this because he gets tunnel vision, but the goal should be “improve the team” and not just “I’ve got a hard on for player x.” It’s going to take a lot of rejection. Jack Nicholson’s character on the bucket list had “kiss the most beautiful girl in the world” on his list and, when asked how he would do that, responded with, “by volume!”

tl;dr pick up the damn phone.
