Jazz trade Fonteccio to Pistons for 2024 2nd

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Ochai is a much, much worse basketball player than Simone Fontecchio.

Yeah, but he needs 25 mpg instead of 15. The extra 10 minutes of cardio will help his shot.

So we parlayed a free agent signing into a high second round pick in a deep draft, a previous high second round pick, a long & athletic two with a nice stroke, who is stashed in Europe to develop.

How much cap space were we going to invest in Simone during the offseason? I doubt we would match anything over $5m over 3 years. Don’t be surprised if he gets offered $8/ 4.

So Tec's value was just about what we got for Royce. A little more value in a worse draft which is a wash. That seems fair.

I doubt the Jazz decided to move Tec this morning. This had to have been the plan for a while.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

No he wasn't. If you didn't see how useful Tech was, I don't know what to tell you.

Coaches also don't care at all about trade value.

Since I didn’t comment on his usefulness I’m not sure who you are arguing with.

Simone is easily worth at least 15 million a year with how high money is getting. He's a starting quality player for a team that needs a 4th/5th option wing as a starter (which a lot of teams do).

Super naive.

Coaches who don’t follow the overarching front office strategy have short careers.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

People have a really warped idea of Tec's value, probably because he spent some time at the end of the bench and out of the rotation.

For some reason everyone seems to be fine with the idea of resigning Kris Dunn, a guy who literally dropped out of the NBA and is the same age as Tec.

Brother you're the only one being naïve here if you think Simone getting minutes was an asset play. He got minutes because he stepped his game up while guys like Ochai faltered under pressure. Shut the hell up talking nonsense.

I’ll assume you are right on his value. What is the opportunity cost to the Jazz of $15m?

FWIW, most Pistons fans are wanting Weaver's head.

A lot of fans on here won't openly dislike a player until they are off the team. They fear having strong opinions or being called a hater, but will readily **** on someone when it's safe.
