Dame Time

Get Dame if you want to be in the mix the next 3 years. But beyond it would turn out as a big cost. However, I would love to see this team ramp that quickly and compete. I don't see another super star willingly coming to Utah.
 
Wonder if the Jazz would make the move to bring in Dame. If we have an awesome draft/off-season. And cash in a bunch of assets at the deadline next year to make a full on contending move… would be exciting.
 
Damn painted himself into a corner by only wanting to play for teams that start with "O" as he'll only wear the number Zero.

(Growing up in Oakland, College ball in Ogden, NBA ball in Oregon)

So.. unless we can find him another "O" and give him a reason to move, we're out of luck.

Dame does not know what he wants… one day he’s dying on this hill… the next week he doesn’t want to rebuild… they need to just do him a solid and make the decision for him. I think if they wait one more year that contract will start to turn… the farthest out years could be ugly and every good year you cut from the deal it will drop his trade value by a lot.

I think Dame does know what he wants. To win. He is just fooling himself that he can do it with Portland.

EDIT: Or he wants to win and he wants to be in Portland.. but those two goals just dont mesh.
 
Same argument as KD.

You don't go for him who's 33 unless you are absolutely desperate to achieve something in the next couple of seasons. And there's absolutely no reason for this relatively young jazz team to force a short timeline upon themselves like that.

Had they not taken the gamble on a 32 yr old Conley, we'd still be competing with a 25yr old Mitchell/29yr old Rudy now and for many years to come, instead of doing this full rebuild last year.

Similarly, if we fail to achieve something with Dame the next couple of seasons, we are in the risk of losing this entire young core prematurely because we threw away all cap spaces/roster flexibility in acquiring him(he's locked for over 60mil in 2027, his 37 year old season) and the only way moving forward is to do another rebuild.
