Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[The Jazz Wonderbra]

Jazz are in a pickle, championship teams are not built around 6’1 guards as your #1 scoring option. On a championship team, he needs to be a #2 or even #3 scoring option. Similarly they aren’t built around a defensive center with no offensive moves. Jazz won’t do it cos of the damn all star game. But something tells me not cashing in and blowing it all up now will be a mistake. Go get some young talent and draft capital else we will be mediocre for years to come.

Um...The timing of this post is hilarious.

How tall is Steph Curry? 6'2" in shoes. And he is their primary scoring option.

Also, donovan mitchell reached more three pointers than steph curry at this point in his career. In fact, steph had ankle issues and was basically trade bait for the better part of 3 years before the warriors figured things out.

And the Warriors played kevon looney at center. He is a defensive center with hardly any offensive moves. And he is not paid like gobert so they can afford to have Wiggins, Klay, and Green on the court.

Spoiler alert. The definition of your post just won the NBA championship.

This makes me less interested in Rudy. Why is he using a silly ab machine in the body building section of the gym?

You can more safely (over)load it with weight. Kinda like a Smith machine (for situations on the margins of safety).

The notion that Gobert - a dude who misses little time and only to contact injuries, has not regressed with age at his size, and plays almost every summer - or his trainers are idiots is idiocy. The guy is 1st tier of the 1st tier in terms of conditioning.

He's got plenty of "douchey" posts too.

I'm all about equality in my opinions about "douchey" social media posts.

I believe you. There is no one with more experience with “douchey” posts than you.

I can’t get over that all I’ve seen on social media is Rudy getting after it constantly and Don is just partying and out ****ing around with his thick *** glasses on.
Keeping Don and trading Rudy is not the right move. I just want to get on record.

Trade both but otherwise agree.

Trade of the day....

Houston trades 17 & 26 and Tate
Houston gets #10

Wash trades: KCP, Ish, #10
Wash gets: Conley, 17 & 26

Utah trades: Mike Conley
Utah gets: KCP, Ish, Tate

We get a bruising power wing and a 3 and D player. Wash gets pg without giving up Deni or Rui. They split the #10 pick into a couple firsts and can draft TyTy with #17. Houston has a bunch of young dudes so gets a higher quality pick while consolidating a bit.

Don
KCP
Tate
Bogey - Maybe you move him in another deal.
Rudy

Royce, JC, Ish and whatever off the bench.

Is the "3" part of "3 and D" really applicable to Tate?

No... at least not yet. He's a dump truck though... and has some Mfer in him. He's more than a 3 and D type imo. He can do some Dray/PJ Tucker things. More of a 4/5 could be good as a different kind of playmaking roll man. He will make enough 3s I think. Maybe the shot quality improves a bit for him playing off of good NBA players.

I think if you simplify a bit for him and he knows he gets more spot up opportunities he can get to the 35% range.

I am not sure about the shot quality, teams dare him to shoot.

I love him, though. The defense is legit. I think he is a good tertiary playmaker. He makes things happen after the defense breaks down. He isn't afraid to shoot either so it could mean there id potential improvement there too.

If he can't hit shots then he needs to outrun guards in my opinion. That would be an Olympic athlete runner type of conditioning. That's another level he can reach.

I’m fine with this approach too. The only wrong choice is keeping Don and trading Rudy.

I'm getting more and more cool with just keeping Donovan and Rudy and running things back. We haven't been great at making good decisions lately... so maybe just coast and ride things out until we enter the Kings decade of sadness.

This is also not the worst decision. I think it’s a bad decision, so it still fits in the Jazz brass wheelhouse. Its bad, but it isn’t the worst.

I either want to trade both or keep both honestly.
