Trade deadline discussion

[My2Cents]

Don't know if he would come back but I like the idea of Dante Exum as a wing defender. I think he's available the end of February.

I'm not gonna lie, the "Fire Quin" crowd is really annoying. It reminds me of when Bucks fans stupidly wanted Budenholzer canned despite the fact that he was obviously an amazing coach. Just feels like that's the natural instinct of your typical dumb fan who wants to blame something: Blame the coach.

Quin's only designed the #1 offense in the NBA by a mile, despite not having any offensive superstars. The players all universally seem to love him. But yeah, fire Quin because he doesn't throw away enough challenges and doesn't play your pet G-league project enough minutes.

I agree. The Fire Quin movement is so unjustified and premature. Outside of the occasional problems with our effort level, our issues are more with roster construction than coaching.

Only if we can move his contract... you think Smith gonna pay two coaches?

We gonna trade Quin and two second rounders to the Thunder for draft considerations.

Let’s be clear, I’m not advocating firing Quin right now, just kind of reading the tea leaves.

But yeah, if we lose early (especially in the first round) I think things are going to get pretty ugly.

not to mention the only "g-league projects" receiving minutes from him all turned out amazing. namely Royce, Niang and now Forrest. While the other G-league scrubs are proven to be scrubs no matter where they go and what coaches they play for.

I don’t hate getting a rotation player for Joe, but the rotation player we got makes no sense for the Jazz’s needs.

Give him a minute. The Jazz generally do a good job of bringing out their players' strengths, and NAW has been in a weird situation in New Orleans.

 

[rjfan]

hey @infection RJ and Perk know our joke too!!!!!

They might not be as attractive this season because how bad they've been, but at least these buyouts want to go there when they're good

Only way a buyout guy ends up here is no one else wants him, and we can be sure that guy will look if he can get a larger bag in Europe or China

There are quite a few people that remember the crap and lies he told while at Missouri. Can people be redeemed? Of course they can but it is never a good look on the redemption trail when the coach and GM don't communicate and the coach gets the GM fired. He is putting all his eggs in one basket.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

This team needs perimeter defense... And it looks like they did nothing to fix it. Sigh.

They're giving rotation minutes to Forrest and Paschall. In theory, they could sign House, although there are almost no minutes for him.

No offensive superstars? Lol, come on now that’s comical.

Mitchell isn't a top 10 offensive player (at least not in the regular season).

I don't care where you set the bar for superstar, change it to "despite not having a top 10 offensive player" if you want to bicker about terminology.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I like the NAW pickup. The Jazz do a good job of spacing the floor, but they haven't really had anyone taller than Mitchell and Clarkson who can put the ball down and get to the rim. NAW can do that. NAW is a guy who could come off a Gobert screen and end up dunking.
