Trade deadline discussion

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.

Yeah, our next 2nd round pick is in 2025 lmao.

But they can always buy a pick in the mid to late 2nd round range if they want to.
 
Sixers are trading for George Hill, sending Tony Bradley to OKC.
Austin Rivers also going to OKC for Terrence Ferguson. Wonder why the Knicks are bailing on Rivers.
 
To me, and this is how I think. Our biggest strength is shooting so why not make our biggest strength even stronger. Matt Thomas just doesn’t miss wide open jumpers. Where’s he going to go where he will get more open shots than in Utah. He will give this team a similar boost just like Korver did in his second trade here assuming he ever gets regular mins.

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.

I think we can win a title this year. Everybody has to stay healthy and play to their averages. It can happen.

After Don, JC and Rudy re-signed, so much our entire 20/21 season and beyond comes down to Mike Conley:

- is he going to play better - so far so good
- is he going to be a difference maker in the playoffs - TBD
- does he want to stay?
- does he stay or does he bolt?
- does he make us pay a premium to get him to stay?

Unless he absolutely sucks in the playoffs, we are held captive by the Conley situation. It will suck if Conley plays well this postseason and leaves. It will suck if Conley plays well this postseason and we massively overpay to keep him. It will suck if Conley doesn't play well this postseason and we didn't trade him now while his value was so high.

We don't have many avenues to improve the roster due to the Conley trade. We gotta hope he plays well and doesn't make us break the bank to keep him.
