Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Saint Cy of JFC said:
When you see guys like Reggie Bullock having a big impact on a playoff game, you realize the major failure of the Jazz wasnt the big moves they made, it was the small moves. The fact that none of our MLE type signings ever had any impact besides negative when we had to trade to get off of them.

But dudes like the weasel still cry about the Conley trade daily.

Our MLE choices have been terrible. Not as terrible as the Conley trade, but very terrible.

Bullock ain't gonna do much. Hell, most thought Rudy Gay would help.

We don't have great perimeter defenders, we lack size, we lack youth and we lack athleticism.

No, we just have a star who has opted to not play defense.
 
LoPo said:
Okay, let me rephrase - we don't need 3 small guards who aren't good defenders.

We need length and athleticism around Don.

Trade Conley

They also need to shoot cuz DOnovan has to have a spaced floor.

ANd you also need another playmaker cuz Donovan can't handle a bigger offensive load, we've already seen what his D level is at when he has a ton of offensive help.

Trash.

Everybody on our team is a below average perimeter defender. That makes all of them struggle.

tbh, Donovan and JC are our weakest perimeter defenders. Donovan was targeted on D every single game in the post-season. He was bad. Royce is okay depending on matchup: he gets blown by quicker players. Conley is too small to contest shots but at least he is smart and knows where to be, which helps him in getting deflections/steals. Boggie is slow and screws up the rotations but when focused, he is at least decent. He can play tough D against bigger guys too (he just doesn't have the tools but at least he cares). JC gets blown by and is so lost on D that he nevers recovers fast enough to contest.
 
Watching Luka makes me so jealous we only have Donovan.

Today I became OK with running back Rudy/Donovan, but damn I just want to tank so we can get an actual star, not a fake one like Donovan.
 
Lopo "Jazz dont have perimeter defenders"

Gobert isolated w/ no help on the best offensive player in the NBA in the biggest defensive possession of the 1st round series.

No they arent.

Conley/Royce are both solid defenders. Gobert, as far as more "traditional" bigs go, is the best switch defender in the NBA. You put any of those guys on these good defensive teams and they are going to help elevate a team's defense.

Bogey certainly sucks and misses rotations, but he at least tries.

Clarkson/Donovan are space cadets who barely try and are the main reason the Jazz struggle. They deserve 80% of the blame as a duo.

Conley and Royce WERE both quality defenders. Now they are both bad defenders.

They arent.

I do think Royce is bad when asked to guard certain types of players, but overall he is a good defender. Same with Conley (though obviously height is a limitation). Both are leagues better than Donovan or Clarkson defensively.
 
I mean, jsut watch the playoffs.

Royce/Conley/Bogey could play on these teams and not hurt their defense.

Donovan would literally wreck all of these team's defenses with how much he space cadeted or didnt even try.
