Career 57% TS%, only two seasons with over a BPM >1, only one season when his on/off per 100 poss was over +4.1 and that was 4 years ago. 2 of the past 3 seasons his net on/off has been negative.
You can't pay a guy like that $49 M. just not a winning player. low efficiency, doesn't pass, doesn't rebound and even his blocks are tailing off.
if you love this trade, you probably haven't been paying attention to JJJ in recent years and you're more in love with the idea of JJJ than who he really is at this point.

The tank is dead and buried.
None of these guys are sitting out - unless maybe if there's positions still in play two weeks out.
I can see hella chemistry between our core, because they don't step on each other's toes. Hardy's #1 goal for the rest of the season is building chemistry between the three and defining everything super clear. Maybe a boys out camping trip to Finland in the summer.

The timing is just odd but we just added a major piece with an already talented, yet raw, roster.
JJJ is on a long term contract. He's got no real incentive to play much. Utah let's him know he's their future and they want to add one more big piece and he has to sit. Doesn't seem like a tough conversation
FWIW, I'm not a huge JJJ fan. I've always thought his defense was a bit overrated.
That said, now that he's on the Jazz I'm super excited. Even a bit overrated on defense he will make a HUGE difference for the Jazz.

Last season Jeff Hornacek defense would make a huge difference for this team.

32 games left in the season and we really can't afford to win more than 7-8 of them. There are going to be a few teams that go 4-28 or something to finish out the season.
