Jazz trade Fonteccio to Pistons for 2024 2nd

[Elizah Huge]

I wonder if the Jazz are going to keep the #32 pick or include it in another deal.

Let’s go grab the 36th pick from the 76ers in an Olynyk deal then we’re really cooking with gas.

Assets are nice to, and we can see that Hendricks can do finally.

The Italian Stallion was an asset... It's more of a loss of assets in my book.

But yeah, the Hendricks thing is nice. I look forward to seeing him develop.

 

[stitches]

This is the trade that gets Hendricks on the floor.

Do we think this is Ainge and Zanik nudging Hardy to play him or do we think Hardy was in on it?

Hopefully Simone can add enough wins to get the Wizards to the worst record instead of the Pistons so it's the 31st pick.

I can't imagine Hardy co-signing this with a happy face.

Crap I thought he would garner more..wishful thinking.

This trade tells me they obviously had no intention to resign him this summer.

 

[Doc Cherno]

Just starting to really like the Fonz. Meh.

"We gonna play our lottery pick now that our other rookie has figured things out!" Is the direction some were wondering about I guess. or, maybe they are going to try the Kessler, Collins, Lauri thing. . .

He seems to be getting a lot of attention, so maybe maybe maybe the Jazz thought he was getting to expensive to re-sign next year.

Good luck Simone!
Oh well let's develop another Italian guy.
Oh and come on down PJ Hall or maybe Ryan Dunn slides.

 

[Mr. T]

I'm kinda thinking if Ainge intended of trading rather Ochai, as he didn't play against Thunder. Or is there another trade incoming including Ochai..?

 

[whatthe]

It was a downgrade but hopefully the rook steps up

 

[HeatCheck]

Thought for sure the Celtics were serious to win this year and would offer a FRP, but maybe they didn't want to pay that price for a rental?

The only good thing is this puts the Jazz back into the '24 draft. They could potentially move up in this draft too if they fall in love with a prospect.
They do end up with an asset assuming they weren't going to resign Tecc.

Still a bummer..

 

[Fosto]

Basically nothing? Lol

Yes. He's a lot better than most 2nd round picks end up. And the Italian dude is a role player in the Italian league, and 15 minutes ago, nobody on here had even heard of him.

 

[MT Steve]

Eh

The way I look at it is, if they didn't trade him now, they'd either lose him for nothing or probably have to overpay to keep him. Which would be silly if you eventually want Hendricks to overtake him in the rotation.

Looks like we’re gonna need a Pistons watch thread.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I do actually really like the Pistons. I watched a lot of them early in the season and thought they had potential.

Getting Simone is a sign their FO is making good moves now. Duren is a beast. Cade/Ivey are talented. Ausuar is extremely unique. Sasser is probably the most underrated rookie currently.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Yes. He's a lot better than most 2nd round picks end up. And the Italian dude is a role player in the Italian league, and 15 minutes ago, nobody on here had even heard of him.

32nd pick plus minutes for Hendricks is worth more to me than keeping Simone.

Hardy seemed to love Simone... so I doubt it.

I posted that before i knew we got Gabriele Procida in the deal. I actually like the deal a lot better now.
