2020 NBA trade deadline discussion

[Jazz Fusion]

I’m gonna throw out a name. We’d have to waive NWG to sign him I think. The Rox almost brought him back this past off-season but they didn’t. There’s low risk here in that we could maybe sign him for this year and next with a team option over the summer. And I’d have to think he’d be super ****ing cheap. Like 1/2 or 2/4 cheap. Honestly without getting a legit 3/4 to defend the Lebron’s of the world, we’re not winning it. We don’t have the assets or salary flexibility to get Marcus Morris and Iggy ain’t happening. This guy might be a steal and if he sucks, don’t play em and opt out. All we lose is NWG. But if he has regained his health and form, he could be a steal and a half.




































Luc Mbah a Moute

If he plays like the same Luc Mbah a Moute who smothered Gordon Hayward in the playoffs a couple of years ago, I am in.

I would’ve bet money that an Exum trade would be for Olynyk. I’m glad it was for JC instead, but we are hamstrung now in terms of salary-matches for Olynyk. While not a great individual defender or rebounder, I do think he’s better than TB as an overall defender. And he obviously brings way more to the table offensively.

If they were wanting to get off of his deal and cut salary, they’d have to cut two guys, because we could only 3-for-1. I’d be a little leery of him on the team next year because it may handcuff us from using the MLE due to possible luxury tax. Overall I’d rather have him as a player for defense and offense, but I’d really like the expiring contract of Meyers Leonard and he does have playoff experience. Either one can be Conley’s pick and pop guy.

Could Nerlens Noel be had? He fits the athletic profile of what we need. He plays good defense. He's disruptive in terms of steals/blocks. He finishes at the rim. Minimum salary

Nah, he is a stat chaser. He gets numbers but is very undisciplined on defense. Quin would murder him after 2 games.

So we could do TB, Davis, and Mudiay to Minny for their trade exception they just created for Kelly.. still 3 for 1 but Minny takes one of the players.

Who’s coming back? Noah?

Both teams look like they kinda throwing in the towel... porty saving money (a common theme since Paul died) and sac getting some picks.

 

[whatthe]

If Ed Davis didn't hurt the offense he would be perfect, right?

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Seeing how Derrick Favors is playing for the Pels, the Jazz should have gotten more back in a trade for him. I get that they sent him where he wanted to go though.

I’m fine with keeping Mudiay but he won’t be playing much once Conley comes back... he just won’t... there aren’t enough wing minutes and if you are playing DM, JC and one of Bojan or Ingles mixed in with the second unit you likely don’t want a guy that doesn’t provide offball value. I’m fairly sure I’d like to have JC, DM and one of the other guys handle most of the on ball duties. Mudiay may get the Tucker 4 minutes.

There's 240 minutes a night

Right now here's where everyone stands in MPG

DM 34.7
Rudy 34.4
Bojan 33.4
Joe 30.0
Royce 29.5
Mike 29.4
Jordan 25.2
Mudiay 17.4
Georges 13.2
Tony 10.0

But my assumption is that the Jazz would like to have each player closer to these numbers to save for the playoffs...

DM 33
Rudy 34
Bojan 33
Joe 28
Royce 29
Mike 29
Jordan 22
Niang 10
Tony 10-14

That comes to a total of 228-232 leaving 8-12 minutes a night in the rotation for Mudiay. And the Jazz might even like to knock a minute or two off of those Joe/Mike/Rudy numbers just save them more, ideal world. Having a guy like Mudiay for depth is valuable.

Sorry, what?
