Trade Deadline

Also, if the Jazz are interested in getting either Teague or Hill, it helps to have them first say they're probably going to stay out of the fray of deadline deals AND have it leak that Houston might be looking to swap Lawson for Burke (thereby showing value in the Jazz's asset) before negotiations get hot and heavy.

Seems to give give up quite a few easy layups to dump it off to the big man for the assist.

Overall I'd be very excited if he joined us though. I mean this is less than 12 months ago.

That is absolutely one of the things I love about Lawson. He is one of those rare breed of players that would rather give it up for an assist than get a layup. He prides himself in doing that.
 
Also DL has been going on about the Jazz wanting to follow the example of the 2004 Detroit Pistons team right?


How about the addition of Rasheed Wallace? Wasn't he a bad apple with attitude problems when he was added to that team? He was instrumental to that team winning the Championship was he not?

There is a mountain of difference between the quality of the player and the magnitude of the off-court issues. Did Rasheed even have off-court issues?

I dunno I wasn't following that DET team that closely that year.


My point is simply that sometimes you need to take calculated risks. According to Andy Larsen, the Jazz had done due diligence on Ty Lawson and is happy with him so who are we to argue?
 
At first Im not crazy about Lawson and his DUI and then I remember reading his 13mil next season is not guaranteed next season, a gamble for less than half a season and I trust Quinn and staff will not take Lawson playing up...I trust the coaching staff on this one...I just hope we don't lose Jo too Id rather Booker

So the Jazz are looking at other Vet PG options too.

Pretty much what I was saying. Looking at multiple options gives you the freedom to make the best deal when the moment comes. Still think that a lot of this is in an effort to bring Atlanta around on Teague.

I know I'm late, but Jesus dude, do you really have so little faith in our players? Lawson is just going to destroy everything we've built?

I LOVE the risk/reward scenario here. And an extra first rounder out of the deal? Hell yea.

No I said worst case scenario. I don't believe that would happen.
 
I REALLY don't want to see the Burke / Lawson deal go down. Lawson is the worse player this year and Burke gives us a scoring punch off the bench.

Like many of you, I'm okay with trading Burke, but not like this. Lawson is bad juju and that's like the last thing the Jazz need right now.
 
And to those who say "well why do we need another ball handler when we already have Hayward and Hood"?


Well I would say Hayward and Hood are ball handlers 'by default' because of a lack of a decent PG. If we have an elite passer on our team I think Hayward and Hood would get much better looks for their shots and easier catch-and-shoot or catch-and-drive opportunities which has got to be good for the team.


Utah is a pass friendly team, can't compare us to HOU which offense is dominated by James 'I-always-go-1-on-5' Harden.

This is the most important point for his decline in Houston I think. Their offense seems to be all, Harden iso or shoot a three. And I'm no expert on Lawson's game (or anything for that matter) but it seems like that is a very bad fit for him.
 
Think about 3 DUI's. Think about one DUI. Now think about another. Now think about getting a third. You have to be a colossal drunk to get three DUI's.

I love my bourbon but Lawson sounds like a train wreck. Not sure you can come back from those kinds of years of alcohol abuse. It's not like a normal injury.

Did I say that? I said the picks are worthless. For every Hood and Gobert you have far more Padgett's and Quincy Lewis'. Don't forget we bought that pick that was used for Gobert for peanuts.

And such deals have never been made by any other teams since.
