Jazz trade Fonteccio to Pistons for 2024 2nd

It's completely useless to discuss if Simone is a "lynch pin". No one can actually tell you what that means. It's just a term. If we miss the play in by one game is he a "lynch pin". If he we don't is he not? Who cares, it's made up.

Fact is, the Jazz just traded their starting SF (we started winning when he was inserted in the starting lineup btw) in the middle of the playoff race. Unless that pick is rerouted, that is a clear signal they don't give a **** about making the play in. Simone helped us win, plain and simple. Trading him for a pick means you are not trying to win more games. It is inarguable (as it stands) which direction this puts the Jazz for this season, it's backwards.

And if they don't give an eff about the play in can we say they have a "clear direction" even if the claims are they are "building around Lauri". It seems more like we are building for the future while offloading guys that are helping lauri right now...

6'8 shooter who defends while shooting 40% from 3.

What's hard to understand?

He's not that great of a defender and is a spot up shooter. I'll give you that he's a good shooter, but in my eyes he's a Bojan clone, and how much better are the Pistons today?

I think it boils down to them wanting to open up minutes for Hendricks and they wanted some action on the 2024 draft.

Sure that too but I don't think they were going to pay Tecc on a MLE type deal this summer either. Some team perhaps even Detroit was likely going to give him a decent offer this summer.

He's a good defender and can guard big wings. Contenders dont want their role players being off the dribble shooters. Simone is a great shooter against closeouts.

He's better than Bojan at a fraction of the price. Bogey cant defend a chair anymore.
 
Like if we traded KO i could easily predict the minutes and rotation/lineup changes that would follow. Same with a sexton or clarkson trade.
I got no idea what the starting lineup will be now or how the rotation will play out.
