What's new

Trade deadline discussion

LMAO. No one is saying he needs to be coddled. I think Quin taking the ball out of Clarkson's hands a little more often by running a few more pick and rolls for Joe every game would both help Joe get going and help the team. No reason Clarkson needs to use so many possessions.
Yeah if Joe is lost in the shuffle there is a guy that might be the one that could make changes to adjust that... who's area of responsibility would that be?

Last night if they are just switching there isn't a lot Joe can do.

I don't want to blame the coach because its complex... it just feels like we should be able to cook switching defenses and have a better answer for small ball 5 out **** by now. This isn't at all a new issue. We have gotten better I guess but just letting guys take turns going one-on-one seems kinda lazy.
 
I’m probably going to pissed with any major-ish move. We’ll get the same ******** because Quin is still the largest variable in the equation, and then we’ll get “let’s give Quin a full season with _____ before we make any judgements. It’s not reasonable to integrate in that big of a piece during the season.” Then offer up some platitudes on stuff like “it took Mike Conley a year to adjust and now look he’s really good!”

Quin is the guy who keeps promising you that he’s going to get your money, and next time you see him he swears he’ll really have it that time.

He’s the same type of idiot as Nick Sirianni. Reagor is God awful to anyone with eyes in every facet of the game and shouldn’t see the field.

For the Jazz, when something clearly doesn’t work, change it. Speak to the players like men and explain potential changes in upcoming games and why. Have it make sense to them. It’s not tough. What’s the worst that happens? A mutiny and firing? Who gives a ****? You’ll know you coached the right way for the right end result.

There's no reason to give our most inefficient offensive player so many possessions.
It's just my frustration with him. He passes open shots and doesn't call for PnRs and passes out immediately. It happens every season, start Joe so he can play better, bring him a PnR buddy, don't play him with Clarkson, don't play him against switches, don't let him guard quicker guards, and it goes on and on. Some of it is acceptable but it gets too much at some point.

Sure Quin can cut Clarkson's usage but I doubt those possessions go to Ingles because he looks lethargic and uninterested out there.

I am just as ready to trade him as I am with Clarkson.
 
It feels a little like Joe is coasting to the finish line. With the frustration of JC and Don when they're in full iso mode (with coaches blessing) maybe it's understandable.
Sure, I wouldn't want to play with Clarkson either but at some point you can't pass up possessions and expect to get them back whenever it suits you. Ingles does lots of camping and deferring to sulk.
 
If Detroit and NO don't have interest in JC we are in trouble.... assuming we want to move on.

Not a lot of great trade matches.
 
REPORT: The Pistons made a trade offer of Jerami Grant, Saddiq Bey, Kelly Olynyk and a 1st-round pick to the 76ers for Ben Simmons, via B/R.

The 76ers were not excited about the offer.


It is quite possible that the 76ers over-value Ben Simmons a great deal.

I know they want a star but that isn't a bad package. If the first is this year or next I'd prolly take it.
 
Tim McMahon talking with Spence today... mentioned Kenrich Williams... I'd be happy with that acquisition.
 
I would be happy with that too. Did he say if the Jazz have interest in him or is he just someone he thinks they should go after?
He kinda just threw the name out there and said there were rumors (not that he was coming our way but that he's available). Didn't think it would take too much.
