Trade deadline discussion

[Handlogten's Heros]

Royce is way too disrespected on here constantly. Yes, he's not a lockdown defender. HE's still a great defender and one of the more versatile defenders in the NBA.

He isnt Gerald ****ing Green.

He's been rough lately... and sometimes its tough for us to remember back further than a few games. I do think he needs to be the second best perimeter defender and not used as a "stopper". That is more on Quin.

House looks solid on that end and I think could help the rotation without gumming up the spacing. We just need that point of attack guy or that big time disruptive force to add to this group imo. Honestly a lot of the changes that need to be made are Quin things.

There was one stupid possession last night where Conley got ripped and Saben Lee took it for a dunk. We need some of that energy... then the ball handler can't relax. Guys can dance and just be super chill with our perimeter guys on them... no one gets worried until they see Rudy at the rim... once you remove Rudy from the rim.... its just all over.

We haven't figured out two things:

1- How to keep Rudy at the rim without surrendering wide *** open shots.
2- How to have some level of resistance when Rudy is not at the rim.

It's effort, it's personnel, it's coaching... I don't think we have answers to any of them honestly.

HOLY ****ING ****

That moment and a few others have me thinking Hassan might be out there concussed... could just be the Whiteside experiene though.

BTW listened to the Duncan podcast today with Jake L Fisher. Said the Jazz were stoked about House and glad to get him for free. Said we'd love to get Grant but don't have the goods. He also said we are definitely willing to part with Ingles and a pick for an upgrade but doesn't see a logical upgrade out there.

If only we didn’t darft so hard in 2020.

If this is going to work, Donovan needs to be the only negative defender on the floor. This is a challenge though because Bogi and Mike are treading water in a lot of their matchups.

The lineups with Donovan and Clarkson on the floor together may be a lost cause defensively.

This is what I have been saying for years now.

I don't think there's any way Danny Ainge lets his first trade deadline with the Jazz pass without doing something. There's been a lot of smoke around a package of Joe and a first round pick, so that's likely the move. I have a bad feeling we're going to be disappointed in what we get in return.

What if we lost the coin toss to celtics and drafted smart instead of exum?

celtics will take smart at #5 if that's the case. even if Celtics take exum, we will take someone else like stauskas or vonleh cuz smart refused to workout for us

the bigger "if" would be trading josh hart and thomas bryant for Tony bradley.

the issue is simple. have your player stay in front of his man when guarding. it solves everything. any defense would be in a scramble mode whenever the opposition player with the ball just blows by your man. and we are allowing it to happen on every ****ing possession.

It looked like we were playing D with five Jimmers on the floor in the second half last night.
