Addressing our deficit at power forward

[infection]

They are as identical personality wise as it gets. They do everything together and get matching tats. I would think that he also would hate being in Utah.

Which matching tats?

Morris takes Niang off the floor completely. And he takes Ingles off the floor from minutes 30-36. And takes any of Bojan’s minutes over 34.

Conley being fully healthy may take Niang off the floor completely. Because Oneale will move to the bench.

Gobert/Davis
Bogdanovic/O'neale
Ingles
Mitchell/Clarkson
Conley/Mudiay

Then again we may be fully underestimating Quins love for Georges. He might get minutes over Morris or Oneale...

Wish we had something to offer to Denver for Juancho Hernángomez, like, if they still accept our calls.

Morris wants to stay on the Knicks..

True.

The window for getting Morris may have closed. We have a new coach who in just ten games has won more games than our last coach did in ten years (kidding aside, in 24 games). Knicks have been playing far, far better and we are actually thinking we could be an eight seed. Morris has said he wants to remain here and be a part of this rebuild. He likes it here, he sees better things on the court, he sees better things in the new coach. He also sees the Jazz are on the decline, while the Knicks are on the rise.

Who are some rotation players that may be available who create a lot deflections/steals/blocks? We need a hustle player in the second unit. Davis, Mudiay, Clarkson, Niang just don't effect a game in that way at all.

Davis and a 2nd for Jabari... he has decent stats and is a lot bigger than what we got. On 7 mil and will be traded.

If the Jazz could get a pick-and-pop big, it might give Conley a fighting chance of getting all the way to the rim like he used to in Memphis.

We don't need another high volume scorer like Morris or Parker on this team.

Aminu is only 6'8, which means he is slightly undersized at the 4 -- as Bogdanovic is. He also is not really a good scorer inside, probably due to a combination of lack of size/strenght and post moves. From outside, he has always been inconsistent -- to say the least. From 16 feet to the 3 point line, he has been at 29% for his career (and 33% this season); from beyond the 3 point line, he has shot 33% for his career (and 25% this season) -- per basketball reference. My point is that Aminu is a classic tweener: can't really play the 4 (due lack of size) and can't really play the 3 (due to lack of shooting). He is no solution for whatever problem that any team in the league may have, IMO. I concede, though, that his athleticism is above average and that he is relatively though, especially on the defensive end, but I don't see how plugging him in any Jazz line-up would be a clear upgrade over what the Jazz currently have available.

Aminu is 6'9" with shoes and has plenty of size to play at the 4. His defense and rebounding would be a definite upgrade over Niang. You just have to relegate him to shooting corner 3s on offense, but we pretty much did that with Jeff Green and do that with Niang.

When your bench gets out scored like ours does nightly anything will help. Just tired of hearing the same names tossed around that are injured or unattainable. The only two pieces the jazz may move now are Davis and nwg.

I understand your pov. Our bench has been terrible at everything this season though, not just scoring. We're near the bottom of the league in bench points, rebounds, fg%, assists, steals, blocks, deflections, and more.

It's easy to think that anything will help. But I really believe that the reason why our bench is so bad is because the players we've been playing on our bench don't have skill sets that compliment each other. It's like putting together a puzzle but we're using pieces from 4 different puzzles, ya know what I mean? We picked up Clarkson for instant offense. Mudiay has natural score first instincts. I feel like another score first player would complicate things.
