Trade deadline discussion

I like Richardson but really not wanting Smart due to his 5 year contract and his inconsistency. He has had a few diva moments too. Do we want to pay our backup PG 14 million dollars a year for the next 5 years. I would rather play Forrest or Butler than pay Smart that type of money. I think people are overrating Smart a little. The Jazz need an athletic wing player in the worse way.

He would be an awful addition. Contract, would probably hate being here, etc.

The only concern I’d have is if he’s cool being here. He’s a great addition if so.

Man, if it’s Morris then I guess I was closer than I thought.

He’s kinda what we need… he crosses the line more than I’d like but you need an *******.., he’s got that for days. If he’d hate it here then I’d pass. Danny knows him well so at least there’s that.

He can say what he wants about Utah but…. Lawrence, Kansas. Lawrence, Kansas.

He's got a pretty big deal for an inconsistent 32 year old

He makes a little more than Clarkson money. His offense is a little hit and miss but generally a lot more consistent than Jordan and his defense is really solid. Plus he's an *******. You need one of those.

He has struggled this year... I wonder what kind of offer they would take. In general if you deal with the clips they win the deal but they did screw up the Bledsoe deal. If it was Ingles or JC for him straight up.... I'm all over it... Draft capital? Bogey? Royce? Well then let's think on it.

He also may have just been playing the villain. He knows who he is. It would also be awesome to see our locker room challenged by the guy who said no one defends in Utah except Rudy. Maybe its an Ainge galaxy brain move. Unite the locker room against the ******* on their team.

Really interesting interview on Checketts show this afternoon with Tony Jones

-Said he 100% think's the Jazz will make a trade to replace Joe's spot in the rotation and that they have interest in Josh Richardson.
-Not exactly sure what he meant by this but said that another downside to losing Joe is that they lose one of the only guys in the Lockeroom that could look Donovan Mitchell in the eye and tell him no.
-The Jazz still believe that they can win a championship if healthy and are all in, so they won't hesitate to trade draft picks.
- If Jerami Grant is on the table for Joe's salary and two first round picks then he thinks it's a no brainer to make that move.
-The front office is starting to take on the personality of Danny Ainge and some of the names that are popping up that the Jazz are interested in are different from the type of guys that Dennis Lindsey went after.
-Joe's contract is the main thing being shopped but doesn't think they would hesitate to include another rotation player in a deal if they thought it could make the team better.
-There's a guy that a source told him Ainge is going after (Tony wouldn't reveal the name on air but said he'd text it to Spence) that is totally a Danny Ainge guy and someone that no front office in Jazz history before this one would've tried to get in a Jazz jersey. Any guesses who that could be?

I'll guess Marcus Morris is the mystery guy. Ainge signed him in Boston.
Josh Richardson makes a ton of sense for the Jazz. Perfect low-hanging-fruit trade.

Low-hanging fruit, but pretty overpaid for his role and we don't know if his career-year in efficiency is really going to translate. If it doesn't, it's a pretty bad move. Very meh and not a great use of the money for a team that will be on the brink of the LT AT BEST and well beyond it at worst.
