Trade Deadline

[mellow]

Last season there were 45 players traded, so far this season only 9. It could be a crazy week.

Good article. I love being able to look back and see what good trades teams in sports have made historically. One of the worst trades ever involved Jazz. Wilkins. You guys got what 2 players for 2 years and they were nobodies? I was little then so I don't recall who the players were

It was done to keep the franchise solvent - simply couldn't afford to have him. How the NBA has changed since then!

.@ChrisMannixYS on @1280sports says the Jazz have been pursuing Jeff Teague. Hawks asked for Rodney Hood and a pick in return. Jazz said no.

Not, no, but hell no!

Not, no, but hell no!

I'd like to think this played out as a 30 second text exchange:

Hawks GM: "Teague for Hood & a pick?"
DL: "lol no"

It seems like the Kings are shopping McLemore...maybe he could be a good option for the Jazz?

Hopefully the Jazz made a counter-offer.

That is the trouble with the current jazz structure. Team success has been dependent on many working parts. And it is those working parts that other teams want. Injured Alec and chuker Trey won't buy much. The OKC and GS picks don't buy much either, at least not at the deadline. They might have more value at draft time.

I don't want anyone. Seriously. I wanna roll with who we have and go to war with dudes who are tight with each other.

5 seed or bust!

I think we could really use an upgrade at PG.

I also really wish Snyder would try more zone defense, specifically a 3-2 zone.

A 3-2 zone does not work that way. The bottom two defenders (generally PF/C) cover the corners, so you can force Gobert/ Favors 20 feet from the basket by putting your shooters in the corners. You don't even need a stretch 4/5 to get this outcome.

In a 2-3 you can keep Gobert near the basket regardless of perimeter ball position.
