you know what would look good next to this defense?

[fishonjazz]

Imagine - Dragic, Burks, Hayward, Favors, Gobert, Exum/Burke/Neto, Draft pick/Hood/Baby Sap/Jingles, Kanter and another big to replace Booker (the golden unicorn of Ante Tomic has no contract buyout this upcoming offseason and will still only be 28 years old)

The Jazz would be a young, but extremely talented and deep team if they play their cards right.

That team would be awesome

Scoring would be hard... but a good team.

Meh. Hayward, Butler and Favors can score. Mudiay wouldn't be great as a rookie, but eventually, yes. That team would do well.

Dont know about anyone else but NAOS constantly beating this ****ing Trade Trey dead horse makes me like Trey a little more.

Scoring would be hard? Is Mudiay mediocre offensively? Because Hayward has shown as the #1 option he can get us 19 consistently. Butler is scoring 20+ this year. Favors looks like he'll be a consistent 16+ point scorer.

Add in Kanter and Burks off the bench and I see plenty of points there. We don't need guys who can get 30 on any given night necessarily.

Just to add to this post...... I'm surprisingly starting to believe that Hayward can be a star player and even a number one option (so long as the 2nd and 3rd options are decent)

Hayward is attacking much better than I thought he would (probably as good or better than burks did when he was rolling last year) and he is so confident on his jumpers.
His mid range game is on point and the three ball will drop at an even higher clip eventually (I think). Still setting up teammates really well too.

When this season started I didn't think we had any alpha dog star players. Now it's looking to me like we have 2 of them.

Add in a very good favors, plus Burks, booker, and a more experienced hood and exum, plus kanter or someone else aquired in a trade. I think we fight for the playoffs as soon as next year. (And make it)

A physical lead guard who can get into the paint. If getting shutdown by Rudy and Favs doesn't kill you, then getting abused immediately on the other end by a Parker/Teague/Bledsoe will.

Exum won't be that guy this year or next. Trey never will be.

It'll be interesting to see what come up on the trade block. That kind of piece would turn the tide in a lot of games.

It's only possible with floor spacing. With Gobert and Favors playing together, a guy like Teague, Parker, Bledsoe would not be able to do what they do.
One of the reasons Burks wasn't effective is because we lost Marvin to stretch the floor.

Splitter and Duncan dont spread the floor.
