D'Angelo Russell

You'd have to be a complete moron to trade for THJ. He's an even worse defender than Russell.
 
What if I told you there was a guy that is almost Russell exact same age... that is a more efficient scorer this year, but has some of the same knocks. This player also can be had for about half the price and has recently had a 9 game run where they put up 20 and 6 in 30 mins a game on 57% TS... you want him... how much would you pay a year for him?
 
I'm not a big fan of Russell but a Russell trade is about 30000x better of an idea than trading for Jabari Parker.
 
There's an argument that picking up Jabari Parker after he gets cuts or his option decline next year is a better move than trying to get Russell.

Both average offensive players who suck on D and have locker-room concerns. One is a lot cheaper than the other and has a higher ceiling potential.

Wasting assets to trade for either is a terrible move.

As far as signing them next year, Parker is probably going to be cheaper. He has been humbled. He certainly has the higher ceiling as well.

I wasn't really advocating for trading for Russell I was simply saying it's a better idea than trading for Parker.

I've already said in previous threads that the Jazz should wait until the offseason if they're that desperate to take a flyer on Parker.
 
I get why people are intruiged by Russell, I was too until the other week.

If you just look at some of his stats at face value he looks nice. If you're actually capable of critical thinking he falls apart real quick. Lopo just doesnt have the brain power i guess and is fueled by an irrational hatred of Rubio.
 
The closer you look at Russell the more nervous you should get.

No, he's more in the neighborhood of Rodney Hood because he can't get to the FT line.

Do you remember Hood? Yes, he had an amazing dribble pullup game and could really shoot it. But like any player he goes through cold spells, and since he cant get to the FT line, those cold spells are extreme. There's a reason why Utah didnt want to pay Hood, and a lot of it had to do with that aspect of his game along with his lacklust D approach.
