Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

[fishonjazz]

Eh shooting will be fine, Crowder can shoot. It's the creation Hood provides, and the PNR threat that will be missed.

On the other hand, we had a really nice win streak against really good competition while hood was out of the lineup. Maybe we dont really miss him much at all.

If Jae returns to Celtics version, then this is a good trade... I think. And Jae will become an expiring contract when the market loosens up a little... He could net us a 1st down the road, after playing some valuable minutes over the next 1.5 seasons +/-

this trade will take a while to judge.

if i had to guess, I'm thinking Rodney finally stays healthy for a few years and he kills it in the east.

i think it came down to "do we really pay big dollars to a player that we're not even starting at the 2" and the Jazz felt that the answer was no. As for first rounder vs. Jae, again it comes down to which firsts were being offered. If it was a lottery pick? Bad decision, probably. If it was things in the 20s it makes more sense.

Evidently, the Jazz are very very very fond of Jae Crowder and I suppose we should trust them on it

I'm guessing this is not the only move the Jazz are gonna make before the deadline is up.

Who else can we give away?

Favs + Bradley and a 1st for Vince Carter?

Adding Crowder to the mix, Jazz will be a MoFo to play against with our grinder defensive guys.

Now I can hope for Rodney getting paid in the offseason. Hopefully he can showcase himself well in the playoffs.

In Boston he shot 40% from three, and got 1.4 points per shot (more than hayward, hayward just had a higher usage, and more shots), he's also a better defensive player than hayward was, he's a career positive dbpm, hayward has never had a single season of positive dbpm. He's Hayward lite in the sense that he can D up, shoot the 3, rebound, and assist. Lite because he does few of those thing as well as hayward did. He's not going to carry the team like Hay did, but he can provide some of those skillsets. (this is all assuming he can be the player he was in boston)

He isnt a better defender than Hayward at all. His skill set is limited and he is moody.

If the last couple of games are any indication, Hood has his game face on.

IMO the problem with Hood has always been between the ears. How's that going to translate playing with LBJ?

 

[Coach Ellis]

In looking king at it from an asset acquisition standpoint. . . Jazz should’ve held out for Cedi Osman.

Letting them dump DRose on us to match salaries was a mistake. Unless there’s more to this deal, they should’ve held out until closer to the deadline. Keeping Hood/JJ wouldn’t have hurt them at all. Getting Crowder/Osman would’ve been a huge move if they knew they weren’t going to be signing Hood after the season.

They're not that similar, tbh.

Hayward as absolutely the better defender. No doubt. Don't care what dbpm says, Hayward was better. Crowder is a role player, Hayward was a #1 option. Hard to compare the efficiency in those situations, but if a #1 option is about the same efficiency in a much higher role, they're a much better player. Crowder can handle a little, but doesn't create much. They're just not that similar.

You mean.... the Coach Q Who's Got To Go???

The Coach Q who FINALLY started to fix the problem by subbing out Rudy or Derrick around the 6 min mark of the 1st/3rd to minimize the mins they play together. I didn't watch the Memphis game, but in a previous, I also saw Quin give Rudy a rest in the 4th by inserting Favs and then bringing in Rudy and sitting Favors. Playing the two together creates problems. It's certainly lessened when Rubio shoots well, but Gobert can only convert P&R and lobs. Favors has more range, of course, but he's still best on P&R. So it's crowded to have them both inside.

The win streak has been built around Rudy being willing to sacrifice offense and set more screens. Is he content doing that all the time?

 

[LoPo]

We are extremely poised right now for another big deal (today or in the summer).
5 key guys - Gobert, Mitchell, Ingles, Crowder and O'Neale are signed for the next two years:
2018-19 only $49 million combined
2019-20 only $51.5 million combined

We are very well positioned to do another big trade today that could impact 2018-19 and 2019-20 salaries. What could we get with Burks and Favors? There are a ton of possibilities.

Let me continue. If we hypothetically traded Burks, Favors and our 2nd for Biyombo and Gordon right now, our finances the next two years look like:

2018-19: $49 + $14 Rubio + $17 Biyombo + $25 Gordon + $10 Exum + $1.5 Bradley = $117 (10 players and still have room under luxury)
2019-20: $51.5 + $17 Biyombo + $26 Gordon + $10 Exum + $2 Bradley= $107 (9 players with plenty of room)

Let's go for it. Sure, we might be in the luxury for 2018-19, but we would be out when Rubio comes off after next year. And Biyombo is bye bye after 2019. And this is all if Gordon gets a max which I don't think he does.
