Trade deadline discussion

Have you ever watched any of their show? I seriously doubt those two knuckleheads have actual NBA sources. How could we possibly be the ones asking for draft capital in a trade for Smart?

It depends who we're sending out. Plus, Smart has a big contract extension kicking in that isn't attractive to a team trading for him. Asking for draft compensation might also be part of the back-and-forth negotiation process.

The argument for Smart would be that he defends much better than Clarkson and scores better than Royce. He can also fit in different lineups. The argument against Smart is that he's a low 30%-range 3pt shooter. So he would probably hurt our spacing. I prefer Josh Richardson, tbh.

All that said, I think it's pretty clear that Ainge likes Smart, not only because he drafted him, but because he stuck by him ever since.

I like Richaun Holmes. I know he doesn't have a natural position in Quin's system, but I just really like him as a player. His energy and athleticism would really put some adrenaline in the Jazz's lineup.

 
If the Jazz traded Gobert, they'd be doing it when his value is at an all-time high. But that said, I honestly don't know who they would bring back in a trade. It would be a change in direction.
 
not to mention if we traded Rudy we'd start losing a bucket load of games
If Quin doesn't know how to adjust and play a different type of basketball, you are 100% correct. If we have to play "funnel to the big", we are screwed if we trade Rudy because he's the best in game at that.
