Jazz trade Fonteccio to Pistons for 2024 2nd

[silesian]

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.

Shut the hell up?

Dude you are way too emotional, grow the hell up it’s just the NBA.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Super naive.

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

Yes... Will was sitting there thinking "we should play tech more so that Danny can trade him for a super valuable 2nd round pick next year".

It was obvious why Tech was playing. No need to speculate about that at all. I understand a FO will intervene at times to direct coaches but no intervention happened here at all.

 

[Fosto]

I hate to break it to you guys, but neither Ochai nor Hendricks are good players. They might become good players in the future, but they're currently not good enough for backup minutes on a playoffs team.

We gave up a quality starter to save some money. That's all.

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).

Aight, look, I like Simone, but he's not worth 15 a year. Come on man.

While I dont like this trade at all, I want to remind that we have not 1 but 2 rookies who could theoretically get some of Simones minutes.

You're talking to the guy that wanted to extend THT for 20 mill a year

 

[Fosto]

Aight, look, I like Simone, but he's not worth 15 a year. Come on man.

Could've explored S&T if his price proved too high. All we would lose out on if things didn't work out was a second round pick.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Aight, look, I like Simone, but he's not worth 15 a year. Come on man.

15 million dollars is roughly 10% of the cap.

6'8 player with two way ability and high level spot up shooting with some motion ability.

The only way you can say he isnt worth that money is that he doesnt have enough proof of his level of play for multiple seasons.

 

[Step-Back Lauri]

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.

This is some dark hole of Twitterstans level of dumb. Simone worth only of 2 millions/season? For real. This is borderline criminally bad of a take.

 

[Jazz Fusion]

If this is the only deal happening, it’s indeed underwhelming. It would make a lot more sense if there is another trade in the works.

 

[MTS]

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.

... Why wouldn't people be fine with resigning Kris Dunn?

Dude has a very positive impact on winning.

I'm fairly sure that was a large part of the trade, plus the 2nd being essentialy a late 1st and the rights on a player the Jazz are supposedly high on. I think the value was high for Simone and Utah needed to bite.
