He might be traded to us. We should offer a first round pick for him. Maybe a first and a second. He's on an amazing contract. It would seriously soften Heywood's betrayal.

*If* we offer a pick, it better be lottery protected.
 
Nah, he'd replace more than 50% of Haywood's production.

According to the model at Silver's website, Jae is 6.6 wins above replacement.

Haywood is 7.6

Their advanced stats aren't that far apart, and Crowder would have a bigger role here.

Wow, well I guess the advanced stats favor Crower more than I thought. He could probably see 1 or 2 more shots in Utah, but I wouldn't expect his usage to change too much from Boston. He'd still be playing off the ball mostly and be a 3rd option at best.
 
Crowder and a big *** trade exception for a lottery protected first would be so much better than losing Hayward for nothing.

I know it sucks to give up the pick, but we should bite the bullet on this one.
 
So I guess we will know pretty soon right, isn't tomorrow at 12 pm Eastern the time when people can actually put pen to paper and make it official?

It would just really blow chunks to get the 8th seed, bounced in 4 games, and get no pick.

I don't know if he'd be a 3rd option AT BEST. Gobert is a very low usage player. Hood is too low efficiency to be a first option. I don't think the Jazz is a team of options. They don't have any go to guys that they can give the ball to and rely on to score. Crowder would be part of the mix of situational options.
 
The Jazz cannot afford to sacrifice 1st rounders now. They can have second-rounders for their very good player that they don't need, is probably ****ing furious, and whose salary in necessary to shed in order to sign the best free agent on the market. Pretty good trade for them, I think.

I think Jazz is likely second, maybe 3rd, best team in the West with Hayward and everyone healthy. I highly doubt we're as bad as 8th with Crowder in place of Hayward.
