Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[Jingled]

This is such coward ****ing garbage.

It's definitely not the approach I thought Ainge would take. I thought he would get every veteran off the roster before the season started and do a full on tank for Wembanyama.

I'm just assuming Hardy is going to be pushing habits more than winning.

… winning habits?

That’s part of what makes this intentionally throwing games thing just not a thing. Everyone’s working for their careers and if the goal is to institute winning habits, then winning comes with that. You can’t keep the culture right and lose games unless you don’t have experience or talent. This team has too much of both.

The other team that’s having a bad shooting night. What we have is good enough offensively to win games if the other team is off a little.

These will be few with our defensive chops.

Y'all drinking way too much koolaid on this roster.

The best way to establish a winning culture is by having amazing talent that helps you win.

I get what they are going for here but we have 1-2 too many vets. We need to be working on player development and doing things the right way. A couple vets will help that but Mike/JC/KO aren't Favs... OKC sat Favs down and he was cool. Those guys won't have it. Even if you play the young guys and they suck it is helpful. You don't want to hang on to projects that aren't likely to yield anything.

If they cut Gay, I'll believe this. If they keep him while cutting other players, then it is garbage.

Daily reminder that them coming out and saying they are going to try and lose some games does nothing good for them

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Sounds very much like he staying and they gonna play him... might be showcasing for a trade and then waiving him later if no takers. He has a lot of guaranteed money to just cut. If he gave back like 4M in a buyout (vet min money for each year) then I'd be on board.

Maybe Rudy Gay will be better in a different system. He wasn't all that bad last season, just a bad fit for Snyder

He could barely move and really couldn't defend at the 4 or the 5. I think he's washed.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I think Gay can improve his value. He looked a little washed but also is now a full year removed from the surgery he had. He looked a little heavy last year. Issue is he is another vet taking time from prospects. Fine for a month or so but if showcasing him doesn't work just cut him and eat the salary.
