Quentin Grimes Will Be The Starting SG Next Year for The Utah Jazz

I would be in for Grimes depending on what happens in the draft.

I also am a big fan of Keon Ellis and would be willing to trade for him now and extend him.

I wouldn't mind sniffing around Okogie or Watson.

The player i will be watching closely will be Jaden Ivey.

I don't see how it really matters what we get in the draft. Even if we get AJ/Peterson I would still want Grimes as a 6th man or placeholder starter until the rookie is ready to start.

I was pissed when we sent him to Minny. Very annoying to watch him continue to grow.

Lol if we had NAW still their would be countless post how we need to trade him to tank

What does everyone think Grimes’s market will be? 15ish?

I would guess around 20 million, but I don't know the specifics on how much available $$$ is on the market.

As a pure hypothetical, would you prefer Grimes + Boozer in the draft, or Porzingis + Peterson in the draft?

Grimes/boozer.
Porzingas is kind of redundant to Lauri (a poor man's Lauri)
I think we are pretty solid with our wings/guards so I think boozer is a bigger need than Peterson.

good call Saw his name floated a few weeks back. And probably a realistic one for Utah to sign as a free agent. Can he defend tho ?

I'm hoping the emergence of Keyonte has totally killed this possibility.

Unfortunately, nope. Our difficulty getting top-notch players, and the fact that we won't be allowed a pick higher than 5th any more, means the FO will latch onto any big name they can get to ensure they keep the ticket money coming in. Name recognition trumps need or skill set or actual, you know, stability as an actual human being. They just need to keep funding Ryan's hobbies, that's the bigger push. So Trae is the most likely target since he has the single most important ability: availability.

I was told at the best buy there is legit interest in Trae. I was told at the other corner of the Best Buy lot that at least one high ranking FO person hates Trae.

Did you just reply to your own comment? Ha ha ha!

Maybe but at least he wouldn’t have helped the Timberwolves for years.

He was on the Timberwolves on both the ‘23 and ‘25 teams. They were on the playoff bubble for most of both of those seasons.
