Buyout Targets

I would love to get schröder.

Conley, Schröder, Forrest
Mitchell, Clarkson, Butler
O'Neale, House, Naw
Bogdanovic, Gay, Paschall
Gobert, Whiteside, Dok

I love that team going into the playoffs.

I think he is already heading to the Bulls. Carlisle had a weird quote about it after last night’s name.Ii

All DedEx fans: His contract with Barca is about up. Stats aren't gaudy but shooting a decent percentage from two and three, 90% from the line and averaging about 6 ppg.
 
What FAs will interest folks next summer? Obviously depends a lot on if we make any bigger moves. Trying to keep it to guys who could at least potentially be in our range.

Guards:
Gary Payton II - defense from the guard spots, novel idea

Forwards:
Otto Porter Jr/Kyle Anderson - same idea with both, bring in a real modern 4

Bigs:
Chris Boucher - I like him in that he could probably play some minutes next to Gobert
 
Junior Glove is interesting but Quin dismissed him earlier this year when he was a free agent by saying "We know who he is and know what he can do."

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.”

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.

The month has come and gone. NAW is most certainly not above Forrest in the rotation. I’d have to check the minutes, but he doesn’t appear to be ahead of Butler, either.

He’s played 36 minutes in a month.

The FO made trades with other teams to exchange more expensive contracts for less expensive contracts, and we gave up two draft options and our best locker room presence to do so.

In parallel, the FO made a trade with Jazz fans, exchanging a fan favorite and the rest of our potential trade chips in return for empty hype, broken promises, and gaslighting.

I'd still like to know the front offices reasoning for telling both Woj and Tony Jones that Naw was going to be in the rotation, when they knew full well he wouldn't be.
