Ok.. who’s going to start the Willy Hernangomez thread? I think we need a rule that anyone we play who looks somewhat passable gets a thread. He looks good in the pick and roll.

@Jazzta give us the low down.

I think he’s a somewhat lateral move to TB honestly... there is a chance that Bradley could be solid on defense... like there are some tools there, but the mental portion of the game may not get there. I think Willy is better in the pick and roll and may be able to shoot a little but he’s a bad defender and I think he will always be bad.

TB has started to stay vertical and has bothered some shots but he’s getting there late... I think he moves well enough he just has to see it earlier.

Portland is all of a sudden super thin at the 5 - Collins, Skal and of course Nurkic are all out long term.

Davis (who is a Stotts favorite) for Mario Hezonja.

Mario's numbers are **** but I'm convinced he'd be productive in the right system. And if I remember correctly Utah's FO had their eye on him in the past.

I’d do it just to get Ed off the books... but Mario sucks and I don’t think it’s the system... I think it’s because he’s bad at basketball.

I don’t think we’d want anyone from Portland... but I think it’d be a good three team swap because that could be a good landing spot for Davis. I wonder what other team may have a small salary guy we’d want who may want something from Portland.

When he was a FA I was in favor of DL going after him. Given his age I thought he would keep developing. It appears he can't consistently hit the NBA three though.
 
There are a couple places Ed makes some sense... Portland and Chicago... the salary matching and players involved are kind of tricky.

Chicago lost Wendell carter for 6 weeks... they might need some help... they have Kornett Gafford and Young. Ryan A would match salary wise and I like him... we have a lot of guards though.

Portland could send Tolliver and Trent... maybe we route them to another team for a second and an expiring... IDK but the longer he sits I think his trade value goes down... would want him off the books even if we don’t get something.

This is the right idea. ^

I wouldn’t really want anybody on Portland’s roster, but there could be another target elsewhere that could fit in.

Damian Lillard LOVES Ed Davis. I could see him ending up there as a very real possibility.
 
com'on now.

of course niang wasn't a threat from 3... until now.

he was 1 for 12 from deep in his first NBA season. then went on to miss all of his 3 pt attempts his second season.

he finally shot 40% from 3 last year, on extremely low volume, and was plainly awful during playoffs.

he's been on fire of late and as a jazz fan, i certainly hope he keep it up, which would be difficult since opponents now will be less inclined to leave him open on purpose

but don't pretend by looking at his shooting numbers from his early years, one can make conclusion that he's some kinda threat from deep since he was barely on any other team's scouting report.
