Trade deadline discussion

I have to admit, I am glad that we didn't lose another first round pick just for the draftnik in me.

Yeah, it's funny how you get attached to certain scenarios and convince yourself it will make all the difference. I really like our roster as is, the head coach, well that's a different matter altogether. That being said, either by accident or whatever some of that bench development is taking place now and we will be a better team because of it. And we only lost one decent able bodied player at the deadline! The question now is what happens moving forward. Does Hernangomez stick or do we take another flyer on House or play the buyout market? And how about NAW? Could be a pleasant surprise! I mean when you think bout it, for a guy that may never step on a court again, a G Leaguer and a couple of seconds, it's all found money!

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.

He's even better in the postseason, but in the regular season, it's damn close.

He's top 10 in the NBA in scoring
5+ assists per game despite not being the PG
Top 6 in the NBA for guards scoring in the paint

I'm trying to think of the 10 players better offensively

I mean up until last night Mitchell was top-9 in PPG and averaged the same as Steph and Jokic.

Harden Jokic Durant Curry Trae Luka KAT LeBron Giannis CP3 Ja Embiid

That was just quickly off the top of my head, there's probably more.

No matter how Locke, Jones, Clayton and others will try to sugarcoat this, the Jazz's number 1 goal for the deadline was to acquire a wing defender and they failed to do so.

Unless Forrest can do that. House can do it too. House is as good as Torrey Craig, for example.

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

I think the way the Lakers chew up dudes and cast them away as soon as they don't perform would worry me as a 1 year buyout guy.
