Paschall traded to the Jazz

[Avery]

GSW fans are a bit pissed so that makes me think this is a good move.

Does anyone smell a Dok trade coming?

Wow, people are still complaining about this. We lost the Clippers series over small ball. We can now play Gay and/or Eric to counter that. Pretty easy to understand

Straight up; a front court of Paschall and Gay in a small-ball lineup should work pretty well as long as neither of them just suck. Small-ball “bigs” that make less sense on paper have done pretty well.

Yup. I think we can do some lineups similar to what ATL did last year with Collins and Galinari at the 4 and 5. Our version of Gay + Paschall should have enough mobility/versatility. And if Paschall is more of a slasher, then we should have spaced the floor well enough for him.

Or, Q will be determined to have Dok or Whiteside out there. Dunno. But I think the Paschall acquisition might signal a desire by the FO to develop some different schemas. I ****ing hope so.

We have 10 actual nba players now, and that’s not even counting Butler and Forrest. It’s becoming a bit overwhelming. Let’s hope it all works out better than the summer of Mudiay/Green/Davis.

I was skeptical on the Whiteside addition.

I'm more skeptical on the Whiteside addition now that we got the Paschall guy I like.

Is that not a fair assessment or do we have to throw shade at everybody for anything?

The thing is, they are all low salary players filling the end of the bench. The best player can get the minutes- having high quality options is a coaches dream. If Rudy is hurt for 10 games or so, we can still be favored in most of the games and still play our desired sets and the same goes for any of the starters now except maybe DM.

Someone would have to want him first. I don’t know why anyone would and that’s honestly not meant as an insult; he has done nothing and backup centers with experience are a dime a dozen.

I agree.

I just want more perimeter defenders.

This acquisition makes the Niang departure easier to understand. For me, at least.

 

[idiot]

I'm sure JZ added protection to that 2nd for the sole purpose of trolling DL lololololol

Don't know for sure, but as it's a Memphis pick, I think the greater likelihood is that Memphis put the protection on originally.

This move makes me chuckle, remembering a conversation between Eric and Donovan. Eric telling Donovan 'he needs to get out more' out of utah? lol

My brother the Warriors fan likes Paschall, and thinks this is a great move by the Jazz. He obviously has a tendency to value Warriors guys high, but I usually rate his evaluations, so that's something, I guess.
