Another French Big?

[Getting Traded]

I was fairly impressed by Lauvigne when I watched him in the World Cup. I think Utah is pretty happy with Whitey, though. Utah, when healthy, is also now 3-deep at the 5 since Favors can play there. What the Jazz don't have is a stretch-4. Along with a legit-PG and another wing who can shoot 3's, that's the direction they should go when trading assets.

Lauvergne could be that. He has a good outside touch and was making 3's during Eurobasket and runs the floor well.

Denver waived a big today and not this guy.

Since Nurkic came back, Joffrey Lauvergne has barely been off the bench for the Nuggets. He got a DNPCD tonight. He's 6'11", with a 19.0 PER, shooting 41.5% from deep and 95%(!) from the line. This guy looks like the next Memo.

Hey Dennis, quit dreaming about all those 10-day contracts you're about to bring in and figure out a way to get some real talent on this team.

The Denver Nuggets are seeking a late first-round draft pick in exchange for center Joffrey Lauvergne, league sources tell Sheridan Hoops.

The OKC pick?

The OKC pick?

I like Jokic more but would be fine with Lauvergne. There are some players with higher upside in the draft that could be had with a late first rounder, too.

The OKC pick?

I'd probably pass on a first round pick (even one as worthless as the OKC pick) because having multiple picks in consecutive seasons allow the Jazz options to put together better trade packages if they want to chase a star. Multiple years of unprotected picks can go a LONG way towards getting a deal done.

I feel like we're good. If we're going to spend, it needs to be elsewhere/on a stud

The OKC pick?

**** no. You dont throw away the OKC pick. We have no idea if they will be able to keep Westbrook and/or Durant. That could be a good pick. You give them the GSW pick.
