Tomic to the Jazz

The conditions are the best theyve been for him to come over.

Favors Gobert and Tomic would be the best big man tandum in the history of the franchise.

Add another shooter to this team and we could make some noise next year.
 
I wonder if trading for Pleiss was a tactical move to make Tomic come to the NBA.

We start negotiating with Pleiss and Tomic is like "Damn, if they get him they won't want me and they will just hold my rights forever." So now he is more eager to work out and deal and get over here.

Probably reaching there, but who knows what is going behind closed doors in the FO. I think they realize that next year we need to at least make the playoffs, and we still are a piece short from it looking like a lock on paper. Adding Tomic means we are set with the bigs, and can go after a shooter in FA or the draft.

That thought crossed my mind as well. Like Rev says, it probably is a bit of a reach, but at least I'm not the only who thought it could be a possibility.
 
Locke on DJ PK -- Quin loves Tomic, he talks about him all the time.

Locke says Tomic could come over and be a backup big...it will cost more than it should, but the jazz could pay him more for two seasons before Gobert gets his big contract.
 
Think I'd rather have Pleiss than Tomic. I watched a few minutes of youtube clips (so you know I've done my homework) and he operates a lot in the post. He is skilled and moves well but still really skinny. I am not sure he'll be able to hold his position in the pros.

He does seem like a smart player and seemed to have a decent jumper from 15 to 18 feet. I'd like him a lot more if he could shoot the 3.

If Quin likes him, then I am sold.


Also, the google translation of that article is some underrated comedy. They said they would be low on Mario Hezonja, kind of like people are low on gas and need to fill up. There are some gems, courtesy of google.
