What's the argument for not patching a hole in the boat?

I have a few questions about this:
  • How bad is Timmy's situation? Is it the wisdom tooth? Can he really wait?
  • What about Jane? if she can't read, she won't be able to read her favorite novels in the bunker.
  • What type of food are we storing? Is the family vegan? If so, they are screwed.
  • Do they have a pet? What's his name? Breed? He also needs to eat.
  • If Yellowstone erupts, is the NBA season cancelled? Do we get a discount on the Utah Jazz store? Do we continue to worry about our backup center?. Will JFC be active?
  • Is there a bunker for JFC posters? If we run out of food, who do we eat first? carolinajazz? oneye? yuck...

The pet is actually there to be eaten. #foodstorage

This is the 3rd straight year that the bench is a mere fraction of what 99.9% of JFC thought it would be. The national media seems to have whiffed on our depth, too.

Our bench is horrible.

Yeah... Joe making shots would go a long damn way to helping this. I also think Davis being out really hurts us. He wasn't setting the world on fire, but solid big minutes.

Green/Niang/Bradley have murdered the bench production... maybe Dante gives us something, but I think we could really use Booker to boost the energy of that group and give them a competent big until Davis returns.

I agree in general with this. I'd be fine with dumping Kidd to patch the current hole at 4/5. My question is who is available on the market who is better than what we have on the roster? I'm not sold on any of the names I've heard thrown around.

The better solution might be to better utilize what we currently have. I'm noticing going through stats that we aren't getting the most out of our current guys. Example 1- Jeff Green was a great roller in pnr last year. He had a high PPP as the roller. Which makes sense because he's a great athlete. We have hardly used him as a roll man at all. Example 2- He's good at the corner three but he's taking a lot of his threes from elsewhere. Another thing- Last night we played the Wolves who have Dieng as the backup 5. It's logical then that Tony Bradley is the best matchup, no? Because we're going to have an easier time defending the paint and matching up on the glass. The only reason to choose Green at the 5 in that matchup is if you're going to try to exploit his ability to shoot the three and force Dieng to try and guard it. Which the Jazz never did.

We need our coaches to maximize what we do have. Sloan was great at that back in the day.

Would old-school rep this
 
Teague, RoCo and Dieng for

Conley, Exum, Brantley

We get the solid stretch 4 we need and an offensive upgrade at the 1 imo. Minny does that to get rid of Dieng’s awful contract and get a couple young, interesting guys.
