Jazz trade Fonteccio to Pistons for 2024 2nd

[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..

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Has OKC made a monster offer for Lauri and we're trading away all older guys and going for full youth movement?

 

[Eminence]

I like Simone, but the value seems solid for us.

Good luck in Detroit!

I guess we'll find out if that's true. I would rather keep the proven NBA player who could've been re-signed cheaply.

But 5 years ago Simone was an Italian dude we had never heard of too.
