2020 NBA trade deadline discussion

They clearly don’t hit it on every deal.

But they always hit. And we should assume that everyone on the roster is a hit. Until they aren’t. Then we credit them for recognizing they weren’t a hit and letting them go.

ARE we punching our ticket with defense? I like having a bench that is offensively potent. If we want to go back to last year's "ugly it up and hope they don't score" bench play, Davis is more than sufficient.

You really haven’t been following along. Davis hasn’t been protecting the rim or rebounding at all like he was last year AND he’s been arguably THE worst offensive player in the NBA. Bradley didn’t start playing because he was so good he forced Quin’s hand, his hand was forced by Davis being - frankly - pure dog ****. I’m not sure if he’s injured or what but it is bad.

A lot has changed over the course of the season. The 2nd unit offense no longer has Mudiay with tunnel vision or Green just chilling. It no longer features Joe Ingles trying to play a style of basketball that he’s never had to by playing PnR with a completely incompetent big. Mudiay has improved and he won’t even be in the rotation. We now have Clarkson, and one or both of Conley and Mitchell are spending significant time in that group as well. That lineup is going to take and make a ton of shots regardless of the big, and that is a complete 180 from the beginning of the season.

In any case, this version of Davis wasn’t and won’t be a plus player in any phase of the game. And Bradley has been bad in intense game environments. The Jazz are going to be in serious trouble if this is the playoff roster.

I attended the Hawks /Clippers game tonight. I was paying particular attention to Len. He played most of his minutes against Harrell. I wasn't too impressed with Len. But he was definitely better than any minutes Davis played this season.

Harrell ate his lunch but Len could be of value to us.

Len replacing Ed, yes. given he's also an expiring.

replacing bradley, no.

I definitely would rather have Bradley than Len. But if we can somehow get Len as a 3rd big keeping TB and giving Davis+, that would be a good move.

yep, all the backup center talks to this point are definitely more geared towards finding a 3rd string Ed davis replacement than upgrade over bradley.
 
When we really get serious about winning we will just play Juwan as the backup 5.
 


I just don't think we have the assets to acquire Baynes, unfortunately. I think the Suns would want a first round pick for him.

Or a good second like the GS one Dallas owns. As long as they are in striking distance I think they keep him. I doubt they get a first unless they take on bad salary or also put Saric in the deal.

I honestly think he's a tad over-rated.

I think he’s a bit overrated too but I think we should be looking for a guy whose not rated at all right now who will have their stock rise with us. I’m looking at Noah Vonleh.
