How would save this team as “the DL replacement”?

For the last week or two I have been thinking about trading Mitchell and Connelly for Harden. I know it’s blasphemy but it may be our best option to win a chip at this point. Call me crazy but if Harden is at all willing to play here for a couple of years I think I would probably do it I want a chip so damn bad....

Honestly, that's a Kawaii to Toronto level risk and I'd have to think about it.

Only way to do this is through the draft. No trade because there is no asset. No FA signing because there is no cap space. Tank this season, get the third star, and we will still be able to compete for the next 3-4 years with the kid being on his rookie contract.

And that will never ever happen unless we get some David Robinson/Steph Curry style “miraculous” injury - the Jazz have no such mindset or process. The fans would go ape if it didn’t seem for real. Also I think I might have mentioned this but we don’t own our 2021 1st round draft pick outright - if it falls between 8 and 14, we lose the rights to Memphis (Conley deal)...

then memphis will just sit there and laugh away with our first round pick as we struggle in the bottom half of the league next season.

i mean, yes. technically we don't have to tank all the way to the bottom if we are actually good at drafting. like we could have taken Darius bazley or Keldon Johnson with our own 23rd pick in 2019 then there goes your third star who doesn't have to get paid until 2023. but why do that when you can have dee MIKE CONLEY
 
How bad are some of the current Stars players at playing perimeter defense? They couldn't be worse than what we are putting on the court n ow.
 
76ers just lost to nets without kd and kyrie. I think its a weird league right now. Players are affected by outside noise. A bit early to say we need saving. Also Paul George saying he's all-in in shutting down the league isn't helping.

No doubt this is a wacky season but I don’t think that actually changes the existence of any of our actual problems. I’ve had it with the excuses and the rationalizations. I somehow managed to rationalize the off-season with homerism, and do it convincingly enough on social media, and now a lot of the common criticism from non-Jazz-fans is turning into reality (again). Also wasn’t continuity supposed to be our big advantage out of the gate? Wasn’t that like the whole point?

Change up the rotation after big losses to find a combo of 5 players that are a net plus. Only Rudy and Don are guaranteed playing time. Everyone else must prove themselves by being part of a net-plus lineup. Could discover some surprises, and maybe try guys at different positions this way!

@infection how far does RHJ get us this year? is he even still around?

Yes, he’s still around. He takes us to the finals. Assuming playing time, that is.

Seriously, you need a loose-balls guy. A guy ready to mix it up. Some energy when you suck.

Nobody can look at this lackadaisical team and say we wouldn’t be better with him. Well, nobody except Quin and DL.

Here are the questions I have...

- could Royce, Joe, Favors and Morgan cover the PF position?

- if so, would we trade Bojan?

- what could we get?

- do we need Conley AND Clarkson as much as we need perimeter depth?

- does Conley even plan on returning?

- would we trade either?

- shouldn't we trade Conley instead of losing him for nothing since we have so few assets?

- what could we get for Conley or Clarkson?

Don't entertain trading Clarkson, he was loyal to sign here, not many want to do that
