Woj: Don to the Cavs for Markkanen, Agbaji, Sexton, three unprotected 1sts, two swaps, and a partridge in a pear tree.

How much they ask for is meaningless. You think the Jazz are just going to give them more picks because the counterpart asks for them?

No. In which case, a deal isn’t made.

I’m simply saying teams are gonna demand more from the Jazz than other teams with less. We literally just watched the Jazz do this with the Knicks and Boston was on the wrong side of that around 2017.

So teams are going to dream impossible dreams that never come true. That has no impact on the Jazz whatsoever.

Who and what would you give to get him? That would be interesting though.

You'd only get him if he becomes toxic to the Nets and they mostly want a salary dump. Then you bet on Will Hardy as a "high EQ" coach to help Ben through a mental health rehab project. My comment was tongue in cheek but it does make you think.

There are more and more teams running their offenses through "nonprototypical point guards" (Jokic, LeBron, Luka) who can have both better "altitude vision" and extraordinary passing skills. (flashback Magic). Ironically, this could create a niche for a "small scoring guard who is not a great facilitator/ passer"

Of course you need to address the defensive side of the ball. Like 2021 utah, cleveland has two small guards, but unlike utah they have two excellent defenders to compensate.

I mean the jazz wanted 3 unprotected and a couple of decent players. All of the extraneous New York picks didn't matter. We were more interested in the Knicks because they historically suck not because they had an extra 3 or 4 garbage picks.

Sexton is a 2

Although I agree he has not played the point in the NBA much at all .So it is a question that needs answered. I have seen enough Cavs games, to watch him struggle with bad shooters and hesitant one's, at least enough to understand his unwillingness to share the ball and the scrutiny that came with it.

I think the idea is to put Sexton and Agbaji together and although it may not happemn right away, it will be the best backcourt

Maybe, but far from foregone conclusion. They would need a facilitator at the 3 or 4 for this to have a remote chance of working

It's hard to believe Sexton is still only 23. The wins and losses won't matter so much this season. I'd throw him out there and see what he can do as a playmaker before boxing him in as purely a Jalen Brunson type that relies on a big playmaker and/or as a Clarkson archetype microwave scorer.

I'd throw THT out there and see if he has any playmaking chops too.

Don't forget Bolmaro.

 

[The Jazz Wonderbra]

Don't forget Bolmaro.

Nah... fahgetabouteem. He isn't that great based on the summer league.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Don't forget Bolmaro.

Nah, forget him

 

[Release the Kraken]

I don’t know, he’s got all the qualifications save for the offensive component, and he’s 6’6” and can survey the floor, and he doesn’t get the yips at the charity stripe like that other oversized point guard in Brooklyn…. And we just hired the shot doctor.
