The AB Replacement Options

[Handlogten's Heros]

I think we need help with AB out... Hood is no iron man, so I think it's time for a trade. Here are some minor options:

The guys I think we could get for free:

-Bojan Bogdanovich (sp?) - was rumored to be available earlier in the season but his play has picked up so maybe not anymore. Has 2 years on his contract at around 3.5 M per.
-Vince Carter - I just puked in my mouth... 2 years removed from a good season, but may have mailed it in.
-Kyle Singler - I just puked everywhere. I would want compensation for taking on his stupid contract.

Upside options that may not cost a lot:

- Jordan Adams - No idea why he doesn't play for Memphis. Looked okay last year. Are they ready to send him out for a good second round pick?
- CJ Wilcox - Home town guy. Never given an opportunity.
- John Jenkins - Again never given an opportunity. Played well in preseason.
- Tim Hardaway - The coach/GM trades for him and buries him on the bench. Are they ready to send him off. He's been terrible this year, but at times in the last 2 years he looked like he is an NBA player.

What we will end up doing... nothing (insert fart noise).

Do the Jazz have one roster spot then? Mr. Lindsey loves them D-league guys, my guess is the Jazz rotate through a couple, while Elijah 'the brick' Milsap and Chris 'end of the bench' Johnson get most of the extra minutes.

Don't skip steps, by acquiring players.

The Jazz obviously aren't going to find any NBA scorers in the D-League. Jordan Adams is the only thing that interests me on that list. It's going to be hard replacing an NBA scorer, even ones that don't do much else.

It isn't an exciting list at all. Adams is intriguing but I'm not sure they are ready to give up on him. Bogdonavic could actually be decent. I only added players to the list that wouldn't cost us much if anything. There are likely bigger options out there, but we generally don't make big trades.

Right. The hustle is good and appreciated, though. Especially since I'm not as on-top of the happenings in the NBA as I have been in the past (which is mostly what drives my interest in Jordan Adams, actually).

I wanted Bogdonovic and Jenkins in their respective drafts. Wouldn't mind either.

(... You know we're just going to see more Millsap and Chris Johnson, though, right?)

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Another one for the list that is more exciting... KJ McDaniels. If we traded a second rounder for him it would get Houston completely out of luxury tax. He was okay with Philly last year and hasn't played at all for Houston. He does cool stuff... entertainment value is there. He can't shoot, but neither can Millsap.

LOL!

Right which is why I added the fart noise to the end of my post.

Stauskas is a name to throw around. He hasn't been good so far, but is a system player, and has played in the two worst systems in the league.

I doubt Philly is ready to give up on him... He'd cost something. I think he's better than he's shown, but I've seen him live from about the second row a couple times. He doesn't have an NBA build to me and looked flat out overwhelmed. this was last year so take it for what it's worth.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

After doing a little homework (perusing stats and a couple youtube videos)I'm all in on the KJ McDaniels trade. I know people compare Millsap to Tony Allen... If there is a Tony Allen clone it might be McDaniels. Really long freakish athlete. Millsap is shooting 27% overall and 9% on 3s... that is on basically layups and open jumpers... McDaniels can do at least that and he does amazing things that will make me want to watch when he is in the game.

DL you owe this to us... make it happen.

Dude, it's the winter. DL is hibernating.

What the hell happened to Millsap and Booker? I'm trying to remember a time where I've seen one guy lose almost all of his touch.... and it's happened to two guys, at the same time, on the same team. I'm not saying they were ever great, but this year you can see how badly their shots are going to miss from the moment they leave their hands. Ugly.

Sap can't shoot and Book ain't gonna be here next year.

Booker is playing better but millsap has made just one shot all year outside the immediate basket area. I think he's an average defender too... Last year he was a good defender... That cake is burned.

 

[The Jazz Wonderbra]

How about McDermott?

If we need scoring off the bench, he can provide it. His defense is apparently Kanter-level pathetic though.

KJ McDaniels was always a nice player last year and I touted him before the draft if he fell in the second round. He isn't getting time on a deep rockets team and $3 million counts against the cap pretty soon. So, I could really see it being a nice pick. I like Milsap, but he is virtually invisible on offense. Chris Johnson deserves some run too. We should see CJ tonight. He has shot well and his defense hasn't been as hard to pick out as others in the system.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Wasted thread. This team isn't contending no need to make any trades. What good does a trade do? No plausible trade will turn us into contenders.

 

[fishonjazz]

Always liked mcdaniels

 

[NUMBERICA]

Yeah, McDaniels is worth a look. Sending them nothing or a token asset (2nd rounder) to save them a ton of cash for someone that isn't playing seems to make sense for everyone, McDaniels included.
