2020 NBA trade deadline discussion

The price is steep but the rumor is that AG can be had. Here's a video on how AG is being misused. He is really good as a roll man but has only done it 69 times his entire career.

Within the past year he had some kind of kerfuffle with police. Not a huge issue, but a bit bizarre. He followed that up with being charged with getting an infant high. That wasn’t even a year ago. But I really like Josh Jackson the player. Every time I’ve seen him play, I’ve thought he was going to be really good, and I’m always surprised when I look at his stats because on the court he looks like a guy who’s probably putting up really good numbers. Even in games he plays against us he looks really good even when the stats don’t say it. He’s a guy I’ve thought would turn out good based on small eyeball samples. He may be a guy that can put it together and be a good redemption story. We all like redemption stories. But I can tell you spending half a year in the G League isn’t it. That isn’t rehabbing. It’s way too soon and there’s no way this franchise would sniff that being less than a year away.

He also no showed a fan event. He’s likely not considered until he’s demonstrated a year or two of good behavior. We just don’t go for guys like that.

Portis is completely different... one fight in practice, but well liked in that organization and locker room still... he came from the hood but protected his moms and just goes a little overboard with the intensity on the court.

The Thunder probably won't trade him. And we probably couldn't get him if they did. But I still want Nerlens Noel.

He's athletic enough to defend the 5 Out. He's amongst the best in the league in steal% and block%, we need a disruptive player like that badly. His defensive rating suggests he plays good team defense and doesn't just gamble. He finishes at the rim.

I like him too. I'd actually like to see a defensive lineup with him and Gobert on the floor together. Play them with Mitchell, Joe and Bojan for space.

His main problem is that he doesn't shoot well. He hasn't become an efficient scorer. I get that he can be a roll-man. Love the size, athleticism and energy, plus his ability to put the ball down and create a bit. He has some of the same strengths and weaknesses as Julius Randle, though he plays more defense.

I have no idea if Orlando knows what they're doing.

I love the player (AG) but hate the price tag. Anyway it would take both Clarkson and Davis and picks to make it happen. WAAAY too steep IMO. Always liked Randle and was singing his praises when he was affordable but now again he decimates our roster. Markieff Morris makes sense if we could cut a deal. Best case scenario though is Kyle Kuzma for Emanual Mudiay and whatever IMO. They need a PG, and Kooz could be that longterm power forward solution we've been looking for. He, Mitchell and Tatum were the cream of that draft. The Utah connection, the youth, the Clarkson connection, it all makes sense.

He was never ever on the Jazz radar. Several Jazz insiders have been saying so for months. And that outburst shows exactly why.

Markieff is probably a no go for the same reasons.

Josh Jackson is another name brought up here that won't happen. The Jazz don't want knuckleheads.

Yup, it was never going to happen. I was surprised when Lowe suggested it as a potential move for the Jazz.

I think that we make a mini trade. Anyone for trading to get Ricky back, lol? It's funny, that with the improved shooting with additions such as Bogey and Clarkson, Ricky would actually be a much better fit with this current roster.
 
We can’t trade Clarkson for AG. The salaries don’t match and Clarkson’s salary can’t be aggregated with anyone else’s.

You would trade Conley picks for AG plus a bad contract.

That doesn’t work. You couldn’t even trade Clarkson straight up for AG because Clarkson’s salary is too low. Adding picks does nothing, and adding junk salary from Orlando furthers the salary imbalance in the deal.

If you want AG, then you’re trading a salary like Ingles.
