I love when people post this and act like we traded so many assets.

People like the idea of Crowder but when he plays for your team and shoots 29% from 3 in 45 games it wears off quickly.

Am I supposed to be mad or sad that we traded Allen and Korver? Or the first round pick who wouldn’t have seen much playing time?

I would still do that same exact trade today knowing what we know now.

Sure Jae has been hot for a minute, but just fluke timing because there is a 25 game stretch where he will shoot 20% and will be borderline unplayable.

Is it ok to bring up that Crowder has slightly worse ISO defense numbers than Niang?

The Conley trade will go down as the worst trade in team history.

We were a better team this season when he didn't even play. We consistently got worse in the 7 game series when he played.

I like Conley the person and I even like Conley the player, but he doesn't fit here. He takes the ball out of Don's hands, and he can't guard anybody good.

Yeah, way worse than trading Magic Johnson for cash.

The Jazz lost two late first round picks and a handful of scrubs for a guy who put up a 9.2 BPM under unique circumstances and it's the worst trade in Jazz history.

#1 - that was New Orleans

#2 - you're lying about the actual trade: August 5, 1976: The New Orleans Jazz traded a 1977 1st round draft pick (Kenny Carr), a 1978 1st round draft pick (Freeman Williams), a 1979 1st round draft pick (Magic Johnson) and a 1980 2nd round draft pick (Sam Worthen) to the Los Angeles Lakers for a 1977 2nd round draft pick (Essie Hollis) and a 1978 1st round draft pick (Jack Givens). This exchange was arranged as compensation for Utah signing veteran free agent Gail Goodrich on 19 July 1976.

#3 - the entire league, scouting, finances, etc. were different in those days.

#4 - Conley is a questionable fit for his price BEFORE we even consider what we gave up to get him.

Stats can always be misconstrued to fit a narrative.

Yes, a 9.2 BPM can be misconstrued lmfao. Mike Conley was next level in the Denver series. Yall are just being blind and looking to make someone the scapegoat. You are among the dumbest posters on the board and it consistently shows.

Rayjon Tucker is likely better than Caruso.

Tucker's BBIQ is half of Caruso's.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

AC is a good role player on a championship quality team... ain't trying to worship homeboy. He had a 3-4 minute run in the game yesterday that displayed so many things that we need and lack. The defense ain't nothing new... he's been good on that end for a while.

If yall don't appreciate it then its your loss.

yeah guarding one of the best offensively players on opponents team will probably result in worse ISO defense numbers than getting assigned one of the worst offensive players on opponent's team. What an amazing discovery

yeah, definitely would do the same so we could improve this team so much that we go from a horrendous season of 61% win/5th in the west/first round exit to the marvelous 61% win/6th in the west/first round exit. A franchise defining trade for sure.
