Trade deadline discussion

These... I think this is a move with next year in mind. If we have to let Mike walk or trade JC then this guy might provide some cheap bench minutes.

My beef is we have needs this year that we should address... I guess we can waive someone if OP jr. or someone good comes along.

Depending on who is moved this summer, I can definitely see Matt Thomas being in the rotation and at $1.8M that is a steal.

At this point, the FO probably knows whether or not they have a real shot at OPJ and we could easily waive Ersan anyways so I'm not too bothered about the buyout market. Was there a better player we could have traded for with the 2nd rounder? I'm not sure. I will forever be on Stanley Johnson island but his deal is up this season.
 
It's funny how the Jazz are building a roster so much like the ones I used to build on NBA2K.

I always had a ton of shooters and a shot blocking center. The backup center was also a rim protector. My best offensive player was an all around type guy who could hit tough 3's.

The main thing - shooters everywhere.

It seems like trading Lou Williams would upset the Clippers locker room. He's a mainstay there.

Can't believe the Hawks got Lou Williams AND 2 2nd rounders for Rondo. Clippers must really need a leader.

Clippers have the same issues as Boston, that is the lack of a floor general and playmaker. Still don't know what Celtics is doing. Kemba is really just a SG trapped in a PG’s body. They should be going for all the playmakers.
 

Very informative video for those who don’t know who he is. It’s a good watch.

OMG!!! Love this pickup. He’s not Mr 99 for nothing. I’d bet if he gets minutes over the next few years he will have as good a shooting rep as anyone. Just as good a shooter as JJ and a much better defender. I think he has a bad rep because he plays for a team full of good to elite athletic defenders.
 
Our rotation is really good leading to the best record in the NBA. However, the truth is though these guys aren't good enough, and will get exposed in the playoffs.

Royce would be the best upgrade if we could get a bigger wing in there. Again we might miss Royce's good all around play, and unselfishness.....but
in the end he will be attacked and owned deep in the playoffs. We could keep Royce if Bogie was upgraded. Someone has to go. We need more size, defence, and athleticism for a title run period.

Basically the ingredients alone are all nice, but when we add them all together it's a good but not great meal.

We won't make any moves today, and we won't win a title this year. Maybe offseason pressure will force some moves. Its devastating for us Jazz fans as this
might be our best chance a a title with this core.
 
Weren't we required to get Ersan to get to the Minimum roster requirement? I don't think we have to cut anyone to add a player on the buyout market.

As Jazz fans we should really be desensitized to trading 2nd rounders. The FO just clearly values them more as trade pieces to obtain fringe players with experience than they do as draft picks to obtain fringe players without experience.

KOC actually stockpiled second rounders, fat lot of good that did us. I'll convert them to Jordon Clarkson all day long if it is up to me.

Also kind of why I really like DL. I think he definitely has a talent for finding guys on the fringes.

Yes... I was more speaking to the trades and contracts he hands out... seems sloppy around the edges or that he doesn't negotiate hard enough... like could we have gotten this deal (that they needed to do) for just cash... the GS second is a pick in the 40s which isn't too bad, but we also don't have any second rounders for infinity at this point.

Just always seems to give like 30% too much and in any one deal its not an issue but it slowly adds up.
