Name a better wing rotation than Hayward Hood Burks

[Ron Mexico]

Exum has yet to prove he is starter material or a point guard for that matter

He proved he is a top tier defender at PG which is what this team is build on. Defense is half the game and he is great already there. He proved he improves our winning percentage on the court and our ability to win. He has proven that he can bring the ball up,he has proven he takes care of the ball, get us into plays and get the ball into the playmakers hands. He has proven that he can hit enough open 3s that defenses have to guard him. If that is all he does then he is a solid starter on our team with the roster.

He has shown the potential to be much more such as a great passer and great ability to get past his man. Assuming he stays healthy he will do all of the above plus be able to drive and do wonders in a pick and roll situation.

In Bill Simmons latest podcast, Simmons ask his guest (Haralabos Voulgaris, famous NBA better), if he would accept Brooklyn's pick, Mav's pick, and David Lee's expiring contract for Gordon Hayward. Voulgaris says no he wouldn't do it if he was Utah. Simmons then admits to trolling Utah fans earlier and that he really likes Gordon Hayward.

He said he would only do it post-lottery selection and if the Brooklyn pick was #1.

That all makes sense. I agree with all of it.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Imagine if they'd drafted Booker.

I'm perfectly happy with Lyles, but Booker has been phenomenal as well in Phoenix.

Hayward, Hood, Burks, Booker and Jingles. Booker is probably the best 4th wing and Jingles the best 5th wing on a team of they'd done that.

If Exum doesn't work out how do we get a pg? Trade away Burks?

Because of the ballooning cap even what looked like dumb deals last summer will have value next summer. I'm sure DL tried to bring in talent and just couldn't get the guys he wanted. I think it is moronic that some posters on here think that DL avoided adding talent as a strategy.

Miller Corporation told DL to sit on his hands and make them money, while selling to fans that a mediocre bench player (Alec Burks) was their big acquisition.

lol that fans believe a guy who Trey has outplayed this season was a big acquire. Lap up the Koo

It's an interesting thought. I would also wait until post lottery, and would probably do it if the pick were top 2. Simmons is the big prize, but I think Ingram has massive potential. His length also fits in extremely well with the roster we look to be trying to build.

Not to mention, moving Hayward's contract - and not having to offer another max deal in the next 1-2 offseasons - makes re-signing the likes of Rudy, Favors, Hood, and/or Exum to big deals more realistic.

PG - Exum
SG - Hood
SF - Ingram
PG - Favors
C - Gobert

Amazing size, length, and athleticism at every position.

I'd do it for Ingram or Simmons. All of GH's family is in the midwest (and that includes in-laws). I think he either signs with Indiana (residence), Boston (because of Stevens) or ONLY considers Utah if he gets that 5 yr max deal with the 7.5% raises. Sorry, Hayward fans, he just isn't worth that much, especially since it will likely mean losing Favors or Hood down the road (Gobert is a lock to stay) and one of Hood/Favors will get a big deal.

I outlined salary and cap scenarios in a different thread. Only way the Jazz can keep the 5 starters (counting Exum over Neto, of course) is if everyone agrees to take less. I just don't see Gordon doing that.

Carlisle said there isnt a better young wing combo than Hayward/Hood.

Im not a liar. So I can't.

high praise.

yeah that 1 2 punch is nasty.

Hoodward. There's your damn alpha!

CHOO CHOO FRANKLIN

Now imagine how good we'd be with a legit PG.

Ya just me and dala

Alpha is Hood. He'll lead the team in scoring next season with 20/per.
Omega is Hayward. He ENDS games with his unguardable stepback.

We made it my ninjas!!! Utah's taking the league by storm, and it's only the beginning!!!!

When Exum starts with Hood and Hayward ,you will see great defense creating offense.What was expected for this year will be even more expected next year.

I expect great defense( #1 rated),more points and top 3 in point differential.Doubters beware,Jazz have something going on.They are building a team as fast and athletic as GS ,but longer in all positions.

The Wing rotation in Utah is legit, can't wait to see Burks back in action!!! Hood is one of the best lefty's in the league, as predicted by yours truly on draft night.

Imagine if they paid Kent Bazemore instead of Ingles this offseason? They'd probably be juggling minutes and playing Hayward at 4 some because the small-ball lineups would be dangerous.

i like our guys.

thompson / barnes / iggy / draymond is a pretty damn good set of wings though

Some more dudes

 

[RandyForRubio]

All of them too.


You and Dala were just more vocal that I was wrong.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

They still the best.

Don't think I'd consider Green a wing. He mostly plays bigger than his size would indicate - pretty much 4/5 exclusively.

Thompson, Barnes and Iggy are a very good trio, but imagine Hayward, Hood and Burks with Curry - that's dirty. Jazz have a clear advantage at the wing.

Smells like cake up in this bitch.

Fish. Thinking of your 4 good wings question. All I can think of is Klay, Iggy, Barnes, Livingston/Barbosa (not sure which plays PG.)

Obvi not as good as our 3. But you asked for a 4th wing who is pretty good. That's the best I got.

A few more morsels.

Seems like a lot of Jazz fans were optimistic. It turned out that we were wrong. I sure would liked see how it would have looked without Burks missing all those games though.
