Sato sucks. He had a good season like three years ago.

NAW sucks. He had a good season never.

*I really don’t know on NAW, but if the definition of Sato is that he sucks, then that doesn’t speak well for NAW helping us this year.

Also, I’ll give you $50 if NAW is ahead of Forrest in the rotation a month from today (assuming Forrest is healthy). The only thing I’d ask is that you acknowledge he isn’t if he isn’t, without appealing to “he will be soon” or “he will be next year.”

If we were really looking to fill Joe’s role, it would have been us taking back Satoransky in that deal and not San Antonio.

Jazz needed to get younger and more athletic
They did that with NAW and Juancho
Sato seems to be getting old and less athletic

Taking your bet would be a no-brainer. NAW was a starter in NOLA for a good portion of the year, until Brandon Ingram was healthy and Herb Jones really took off. He still averaged over 26 mins/night and scored 13 pts. Even on a team like the Pels, Sato only got spot minutes and averaged under 3 ppg. Sato isn't going to play much of a role for any team at this point. See if he averages 10 mins for the Spurs.

The problem with NAW is that he's not a starting-level point guard unless he's surrounded by quality talent and some team structure. Also, he shouldn't be your 2nd-option scorer. On a half-baked team like the Pels though, he was both of these things. He's going to look like a different player when he plays in Quin's system. NAW is really a 2-guard in the mold of an Alec Burks who was playing out of position after the Pels unloaded Lonzo Ball. He'll be a solid rotation player for the Jazz. Once he settles in, I'm expecting he'll get regular minutes and probably score double figures.

There was a rumor that the Jazz wanted to trade Ingles in a deal for Moses Moody at the time the Jazz traded for Paschall. Quin stepped in to block it. Jazz are just following up with the same type of deal now that Joe can't play and he's expiring.

When we first made the trade, I thought there was a chance we would just buy out Hernangomez. Looks like we're keeping him.

Who are the buyout targets?

There is a chance that Gary Harris or Terrence Ross will be bought out. Who should we be going after?

If either is bought out, they would both make a lot of sense for the Jazz (especially Harris) but I would imagine Gary goes to Nuggets and Ross goes to LA or Milwaukee.
