Potential Trade Targets

[rocfan1]

Clarkson to the Knicks makes sense with the IQ trade. They have no bench scoring currently.

After the DM debacle this offseason I don't think our front offices will be interested in doing any business in the near term.

What are they willing to give? Because unless Danny wants to tank, Clarkson is worth more to the team in that scenario than a couple of 2nds, IMO.

We need the Ochai PR campaign to come back. Remember when he was an untouchable, sure fire starter? Dude is well below average league efficiency despite shooting on the highest quality shots at a very low volume. Defensively he has picked up his activity, but I'm still not sure he's a net positive.

The Knicks and raptors did a trade while they sue each other. These people are grownups

They have a decent amount of first

Malachi Flynn is out of the rotation at the moment. He might be available cheap.

I know you are thinking this because Royce, but Royce always had a sense of hidden versatility to him. IDK if that makes sense, but he always seemed like a really smart player who was capable of doing more, he was just limited his actual skill level and/or athleticism (kind of the theme of the Quin era role player). But he would have flashes of finishing, dribbling, passing and he was able to hit shots from 3.

Ochai can basically only finish in transition and shoot corner 3's, and the latter is ice cold for the past 2-3 weeks.

I feel like that was Quin's thing, smart players. Not basic. Not that Ochai is some dummy, he just doesnt process basketball at the speed Quin would like.

He can put him in a Royce box and he will not escape. I was also kidding and trying to like talk up Ochais trade value for Quin.

I wonder if part of the trade is the lawsuit goes away.

The Stars need a backup PG?

Exactly. For a 4 year college player, Ochai is a really bad team defender in half court. He often looks like he simply doesn't know where to go and what to do. Sure NBA schemes are more complicated than NCAA ones, but Ochai will be 24 in a few months and he's played a lot of reasonably high level basketball in his life.

Not everyone needs to have a genius level BBIQ, but I'm pretty sure the Jazz expected more from him. Right now Ochai is ok if he has a ridiculously clear-cut defensive assignment – "Try to deny this guy the ball and go over every single screen". But throw him in a zone? He's lost before you know it.

bucks lost to rockets despite Gianni’s dropping 47/13. They need more bench production. Clarkson was linked to bucks before. Next game could be tryout?
