Trey-Alec-Gordo-Favors-Enes -9 Last Night in 12 Minutes

Too small of a sample size. It is interesting, but I'd like to see the rest of the season with these guys starting together. Watch them figure it out, or we lose every ****ing game and get Wiggins.

That's a dream of the past since the post is a black hole by design. There are so few assists available that it's meaningless in the grand scheme. Best to dominate and get other bigs in foul trouble.

There is a triangle screen for a three option that could be deadly, but that requires a player who can catch and shoot like Peja in addition to a top flight post presence who can crush quick coming doubles. It's my dream offense.

What if the trade was offered after the draft lottery and the jazz had the number #1 pick?

Would new orleans trade Davis for Burks, Kanter, Embiid?
Would the jazz do that trade?

Wiggins and Embiid both have a higher ceiling than Davis IMO, sooooo....I wouldn't do it. But I'm a Wiggins homer.

Perfect. They learn how to make it work now and lose games in the process. Where is the downside?

If they're losing, are they necessarily learning how to make it work?

If they get a top pick who makes sense in the starting lineup, would it make more sense to get a player or two prepared to play a 6th man role (Alec/Kanter)?
 
This is depressing. But did anyone see that nice post pass inside to Favors from Kanter? I wish Kanter could do more of that.

wow would they give up Brow? if Brow came out this year, he would be consensus #1 pick.

I know you didn't suggest this trade but there is no way Davis is worth that especially after watching Burks and Kanter play well again. So our pick brings us either Wiggins or Embiid or Parker which only makes the trade that much worse. Jazz are going to need depth on the team because they aren't going to be able to sign every player so a 3 for 1 is risky business especially since Anthony Davis already missed time with a significant injury. What happens if Davis leaves after his rookie contract, then the trade even looks dumber.

It is never worth pointing out +/-. It is a useless stat.

Scoring margin for a 5-man unit that people are interested in is useless? I agree it's not terribly useful/predictive over a single game (except to assess statements about the effectiveness of an in-game lineup), but over longer stretches of games it gives an incredibly useful piece of information (adjusting for quality of opposing unit makes the stat incredibly useful).

Wouldn't doing a 3 for one only mean they are more likely to sign every player they have?

Edit: also, Davis is a max player. Jazz would have his rights and he would be here for at least 3 years beyond his rookie contract.
