This is true and not true. If you take the concept of defense, and divide it up into transition defense vs. set defense, hitting shots on the offense does not improve either subset individually. What hitting shots does is more often put us into a set defense s. a transition defense, thus improving our overall defense.

It's not a good argument to get Jabari Parker, though.
 
As I’m on the Gallo bandwagon, I don’t see a scenario where Jabari makes more sense, unless it’s to not guarantee his second year, but we’d have to be sending additional compensation to Chicago.

Can you guarantee he won't get injured? I mean whenever there is a positive talk about Gallo, he blows a knee.

That’s the problem, though. You’re looking at the same thing in Jabari blowing his ACL twice and this is, what, only his 5th year?

He’s had one knee injury... Denver effed up his surgery and rehab which led to an additional surgery.
 
I'm defeated, I think that the Parker trade is all but done. The Bulls were interested in Favors last year for Mirotic, and the deal makes sense for both teams this year.

I really like Favors, he does everything you want him to do but score, unfortunately the Jazz need help scoring. I dont think the Jazz are going to pick up Favors option at the end of the year, so why not rent Parker and see if he fixes some of the offense.

If Parker turns out to be a bad idea like I thought he would, then the Jazz can just not pick up his option.

It's just like, the Jazz really dont have much to lose either way with Favors or Parker. Even if the Jazz click with either player, it would be incredibly difficult to beat the Warriors with Cousins, so why not?

I don't think they were all that interested in Favors. Had they been, the trade would have been a done deal. They were interested in a 1st round pick. Lindsey wouldn't give it to them, so the ideal trade for Chicago fell in their lap when Cousins went down and NO was willing to give up their first with minimal protection.

BTW, I'm all for the trade. It's risky due to Jabari's injuries and his defensive liabilities. But another star isn't going to fall in Utah's lap. I don't see the Jazz really having a shot at a 1st or 2nd tier player in free agency. Jabari can score; the Jazz need that. I don't think Lindsey gives up a 1st, which could be problematic; I'm sure contenders looking at Parker are more than willing to give up their pick in the mid or late 20's.
