Jazz acquire NAW and Juancho Hernangomez for Ingles, Hughes, and two 2nd round picks.

Lol this thread man. I call the front office out when they deserve it but most of you didn’t want to move Bogey or a 1st round pick. Please tell me the type of win-now move out there for Ingles salary and a couple seconds.

Okay but that is a process. I think we should try it but be realistic that it is likely next year where he can make that change.

I just think some of us think we can give a guy a new role and different color jersey and he becomes a different guy. His catch and shoot numbers are just as bad as his other numbers... his defense isn't all of a sudden going to change.

He's a long term project and that's okay... just allocate playing time accordingly.

I completely agree with all of that.

Ha... all the birds rights stuff was complete nonsense. To keep his bird rights it costs them like 15M in cap space that they plan to use. Are they going to sign him for 15m to rehab all year.

Ingles will get a minimum deal. I'm not even sure he reports. They may not waive him because they may not want to pay someone to come in and fill his roster spot. He will choose from spots that offer him a minimum deal but he has 12 months of rehab in his future and another couple months to get into playing shape. He may not come back but it won't be because he got a big offer.

Also we will never lose Joe... he's always in our hearts and minds... @Rubashov actually keeps a little bit of Joe in his balls too. Joe is eternal.

I have a hot take I don’t really believe but… there is a chance Juan becomes the better pickup. He’s buried on the depth chart. If he plays there have been multiple injuries.
 
From Andy Larsen's 'Tripple Team' article tonight about NAW

The two trade acquisitions were on track for DNP-CDs until the Jazz pulled away by enough late that they got just over a minute of garbage time. Trent Forrest played 24 minutes, as did Jordan Clarkson. Eric Paschall played 12. Jared Butler even got a short 2-minute stint in the first half, giving Conley a little bit of an extra breather. Alexander-Walker, though, didn’t.



I don’t get the sense that Quin’s going to be that excited to play NAW — in particular, that little Butler first half stint, with a double-digit lead, really could have gone to the new acquisition just to get his ears wet.

Honestly, watching the video of Alexander-Walker in New Orleans, I get it. I’ll get into this in a more detailed article later, but he’s a really, really poor decision maker right now, really on both ends of the floor. Maybe that changes overnight, but in a game today, I’m probably picking Butler too. That doesn’t mean Alexander-Walker doesn’t have potential, but I do think that it makes his road to playing and contributing to the Jazz in this year’s playoffs a lot tougher.

According to Justin Zanik this morning, the team tried to get a guy who could contribute this year. In particular, the Jazz asked: “Can it make us better? Can it definitively make us better? That’s a high bar with this group because we’re really good,” he said. “… There was just not anything definitive that reached a bar, whether using a future first or not.” Even if they used a first!

Still, this is the group: it looks like they’re going to have one of Forrest or Paschall in the playoff rotation, barring something like 36 minutes a night for Rudy Gay.
