Yep. You want guys that still have some talent and can produce when force fed minutes so they can get locked in as future role players for us or more likely trade bait.

Not sure if you’re serious:
Simone Fontecchio to Jazz?
Baskonia forward Simone Fontecchio will be signing a two-year contract with the Utah Jazz according to Eurodevotion. If the report is confirmed then the 26-year-old Italian player will compete in t…hoopshype.com
So I guess this dispels any idea that we’re tanking…
-if you are; how is signing a dude from Europe (that went undrafted) - and way after anyone else could’ve signed him if they wanted to - ANY indication whatsoever that the Jazz are not tanking? The Jazz are likely to go into the season without any legit rotation SFs, so they at least need warm bodies to try out. This looks like exactly that.
-if you are joking; kinda funny.
A true clown take.
If they nuke this (and I think they will), even if they get very lucky in 2023, the Jazz will likely have a **** record for at least two years.
The Jazz won’t have to try to lose games if they’re mostly greenhorns out there.
Regarding the signing:
This is exactly what the Jazz need to do regardless of the path they take. They will be cratered at SF to start the year and just kinda need anything resembling that. Since they will not acquire such a player through any path besides scouring the scrap heap, then you grab from the heap and see what you got. I am hopeful that Balmaro comes around (he’s a more reliable jumper away from being a VERY valuable role player), but there’s no certainty he pans out and if he does it probably takes a few years of development.

I really like his all around game. He seems like he would have been the perfect fit with the team we had the last 3 years.

3.3 assists per 36 last year.
Jazz don't have a starting center right now, or a starting power forward. Even their backups are limited. They're not going to be competitive. They'll be in that Houston, San Antonio, Indiana tier at best. Orlando and Detroit probably win more games than us this year.
It’s good he’s not a black hole, but I have to admit I’ll forever be looking to fill the Ingles-shaped hole in my heart and a plus-passer would be really nice.
I'm sorry. What do any of us know about his all-around game? This video certainly isn't showing us anything other than that he's at least a semi-multifaceted scorer on the Euro level. But so too is Mario Hezonia, I'm sure, and he would not have been any kind of answer for us the last three years. We'll just have to wait and see if he's truly an all-around player on the NBA level.
