Trade deadline discussion

[Handlogten's Heros]

They saved $11M. Two seconds sucks but they got one somewhat useable player and an interesting prospect... I did think NAW was only in his second year... he's in his third which is a little worrisome.

I really hope the plan isn't to play him because there is nothing about his numbers that suggest he is ready... JB is likely more ready than he is at this point.

Also looks like Jazz sent two 2nd round picks out

his brother Willy can actually play. Juancho is pretty meh

and dear load are we really sending out second round picks in the 2030s now?

You know who else might have been a NBA player who has just as much talent, but is better? Elijah Hughes.

Okay... he's a free agent and can't save us $11M.

I'm not like excited about this deal at all. Its not something I'm going to cry about though. We sell picks for money... some of us have known this for a long time... others have been in denial. When you know what is coming you don't get upset that it happens.

I think it is likely both Hughes and NAW are not good NBA players so whatevs... I'm numb to this **** now.

and getting NAW better means we are ready to ship Clarkson cuz it makes zero sense to keep them both on the same team, let alone on the same floor.

I think I would’ve preferred to keep Huges to be honest, this makes no sense for a team that thinks it’s a contender but knows deep down this won’t help.

Elijah Hughes is better than NAW. Flat out.

The Jazz got the poor man's version of Jordan ClarksonR

I might be wrong about this. But he reminds me more of a poor man's CJ McCollum. They play similar but CJ's shot looks better and CJ also has nice crossovers to break away from defenders. I think there's a lot of potential here.

You wanna play NAW over Clarkson?

Hughes was dead to Quin. He reminded Quin of DedEx and Oni.

except Ex and Oni are actually dead. Let's see if Hughes can stay alive

Save us?

Save Ryan Smith*.

I get saying "us" when it comes to like winning/losing, but I refuse to use that **** when it comes to saving a billionaire some pocket change.
