We’re getting BJ for your BJ.
He makes 7 million. Who are the Jazz trading to get him? They certainly arent giving up assets (because they really dont have many 2nd rounders left, which is the type of asset Bjelica is probably worth) and they don't have the matching salary because they certainly arent taking back more in LT payments to acquire Bjelica.
I also dont think he's that much of an upgrade over NIang. He's having a terrible year and he's worse at perimeter D than Niang. He does have size though, so he can contribute more to rebounding. Utah is currently #1 in team rebounding percentage though, so it's not really a thing the Jazz should be worried about.
So like I said in the last post, 0% chance of happening. The Jazz can't afford it with assets or $$$ cost and it's not a move that helps the team in any significant way, even if Bjelica comes over and plays like he did last year.

Basically all of this for a guy to do Niangs role maybe better?
Ive always liked his game but I’ll bet someone gives them something okayish for him.

You take every avenue to make the team better and win more. If he's 15% better than Juwan Morgan or Niang - you have to consider the move.
I bet the Lakers make a move at or before the deadline, you'd hate it be for Bjelica when he hits tough shots against the Jazz in the playoffs.
Personally, I'm still hoping (irrationally) that the Jazz can negotiate a buyout for Nikola Mirotic somehow. He's one of the few players who saw the potential in this team and this system. He's also one of the few players out there that would fit our system and improve the Jazz on offense and on defense.
