Is Ainge asking too much for Clarkson, Sexton, Collins?

[latin jazz]

Imagine getting 3 useless second round picks out of the trade deadline but not being able to unload Sexton, Collins, Clarkson and falling to 5th-6th pick for the draft cos NO and CHA out tank us.

Great job Ainge!!!

Let’s turn those seconds into a bag of crisps!!!

Tremendous downside, is that you???

Realistically Sexton offers have probably been like 2-3 seconds and Clarkson offers have been us giving away some seconds. I would get rid of both for expiring, but I’d understand if you don’t want to give them away for just about nothing. Never believed they ever had real value and nothing has changed that.

I don’t think the FO has been asking for much, but the evaluation of our own assets around these parts has always been delusional which may make it seem like they’re holding out for too much.

Ironically, I think the only players where we may have undersold the value was Don/Rudy and that’s because everyone wanted to quit and tank so bad.

Undersold Donovan and Rudy? So you think they were both better than Luka?

You’re understanding incorrectly. I’m saying those are the two players who we got more than what people were saying here. People wanted to get rid of them for less than we eventually got. We (as fans) undersold them.

I would say "No" but not for winning culture. You dont just give away players for free. I dont think the Jazz are that far away if they able to land Cooper. Yeah, it's a long shot, but everything is a longshot when you are trying to build a contender based off some draft luck.

You get Cooper and you suddenly have a really good team.

Collier
Keyonte
Cooper
Lauri
Walker

with Clarkson/Collins/Hendricks/Sexton off the bench. With Filipowski/Sensabaugh/Williams/Harkless/Juzang on the deep bench with potential to step-up with development or be consolidated with draft assets into another star.

And maybe you get even luckier and Minnesota is in the lottery. Maybe you get even luckier and their pick jumps into the top 4.

It seems like the team that really wants Clarkson, the Nuggets, just dont have anything to offer.

The Jazz arent horny too offload those players. The 2nds are for future use to grab players when the Jazz are a really good team trying to add bench depth.

I think it doesn’t matter. We can’t tank properly.

Jazz are essentially in a 3-way tie for 2nd worse record and comfortably in the bottom 4. They've done a fantastic job tanking while keeping a lot of games close vs good teams and still losing.

I totally get not wanting to give players for free….but let’s be clear here, the cost of keeping them around isn’t free. You are losing draft position by keeping them. You have decide if their future value with the team is worth what you think their detriment is to tanking.

Ya we need coach to lean into the tank more.
Last night was extremely loseable. Just would have taken a few coaching decisions to secure the loss.

But I get it though. Easier said than done.

Except the Jazz have shown they are willing to sit players, especially after the deadline.
