I hope we keep Beverley. Not because I like him, I don’t. If we keep Mitchell, I want Beverley glued to Donovan’s ***, hounding him to play defense 24/7.
I want to keep him to make him suffer for talking all that ****, then having to play hereI hope we keep Beverley. Not because I like him, I don’t. If we keep Mitchell, I want Beverley glued to Donovan’s ***, hounding him to play defense 24/7.
Ya but this is you we are talking about. If the jazz traded Gobert for prime hakeem and jordan you would find something to be unhappy about. You are always glass half empty.Trading the best defensive big the NBA has had since Olajawon and getting back at best a 6th man.
No these players aren't "good". Not 1 quality starter.
The Jazz went from top 5 to bottom 5 and people are excited.
The picks are a gamble, based on the youth of this team the best the Jazz can hope for is 4+ years from now the Timberwolves suck.

Not sure if anyone else has said this but it seems like you just described andre kirilenko. Would be awesome if vanderbilt could be anything near AK.Vanderbilt will be a fan favorite.
I can almost guarantee the key pieces of the deal for Utah were McDaniels and Vanderbilt. I imagine Ainge wanted both, but he had to have at least one or the deal wouldn’t get done. He got Vanderbilt and when Minny said he couldn’t also have JM, Ainge made them throw in another pick.
Vanderbilt might have the best motor in the league. He’s everywhere and never stops moving. Always in the passing lanes, helping on D, crashing the offensive glass, taking charges, getting deflections, moving without the ball, running the floor, etc, and he can adequately defend all five positions. Just a badass.
Can’t shoot for ****, but he can handle the ball and is a good passer. It’s cliche, but he’s the ultimate high motor guy that can impact the game without scoring.
I did say if Rodman and AK had a love child it would be Vanderbilt. LolNot sure if anyone else has said this but it seems like you just described andre kirilenko. Would be awesome if vanderbilt could be anything near AK.
Well thats high praise. How is this vanderbilt dude?I did say if Rodman and AK had a love child it would be Vanderbilt. Lol
High energy, decent Andrés and good passer. He’s an elite rebounder. Got three offensive rebounds a game last year averaged just over 8 rebounds a game in 25 minutes per. Can guard 1-5 some gets lots of deflections. He does a lot of the same things Pistons era Rodman did, and some of the same skill set as AKWell thats high praise. How is this vanderbilt dude?
Vanderbilt IS a starter on most teams. A guy who can switch effectively from 1 to 5 and take on your toughest defensive assignment (i.e. Durant, Giannis, etc) is highly coveted in today's NBA. Even if he's a total negative offensively, which isn't the case for Vanderbilt.Vanderbilt was in a perfect situation for his skillset.
He's not a starter on most teams. He's a solid bench player.
Same with Beverly.
Same likely with Kessler.
Same likely with Bolmaro (though he has the most potential IMO).

Thanks a lot! Actually considered asking you to do this, so this is perfect!
Good info and good post. Thank youHey guys, Trembling Timberpuppy fan here and I can give you the skinny.
We all know who Pat Beverly Is so I won't waste your time there
Vanderbilt is a good piece but he's a limited role player and probably always will be. He's great on the offensive glass and can defend any position which will always make him useful. However he's got hands of stone. His offense comes on dunks and put backs at the basket. From anywhere further than about 5 feet he's almost useless offensively. He's also not a shot blocker. He can be paired in the starting lineup with a center that shoots which puts him pretty much at the basket so that can be mitigated, but the problem with that is oftentimes teams just switched the center onto Vando and the power forward onto KAT which made Vandos defensive rebounding highly suspect as he's not girthy enough to block out centers. He does however play as hard as anyone in the league and will become a fan favorite for that if nothing else. He's a decent passer as well. I saw some comparisons here to AK47 which I hate to burst that bubble but that's just not in the realm of possibility. He has none of the offensive upside to become anything like AK. Doesn't make him a bad player, it just is what it is
Beasley's your standard inefficient chucker. He can shoot you into or out of any game on any given night but offers almost nothing else. Still shooting of the bench is always valuable, especially at the deadline on a team control contract that can be voided after this year.
Kessler I like a lot better in your situation than ours. Here I didn't see any path to anything more than a backup center that we wouldn't have minutes for when his defensive and rebounding ability were really needed. In Utah however you guys can just throw him out there 25-30 minutes a game and watch him develop.
Bolmaro looked absolutely lost in any playing time he got last year. That could be the rookie, especially rookie foreigner, adjustment period but I saw nothing that would make me think he's still playing in the league in 3 years. But I've been wrong before.
From what I understand similar to Clarkson.How is Beasley as a defender?
Was Dream really that good? I don’t remember him shooting 3s. Nor do I remember him guarding Steph curry on an island. Feels a bit overrated. Only two chips? Hmmm, not even 6? Not great. Checkmate FishYa but this is you we are talking about. If the jazz traded Gobert for prime hakeem and jordan you would find something to be unhappy about. You are always glass half empty.
