A Big Move on the Horizon?

[Handlogten's Heros]

Yeah and that's super bad (unless Johnson finally turns it around).

Right... I think starting Lueur or Ellenson is also super bad... it's just super bad.

I think they have to throw Stanley out there if this is their roster... He was a high pick and needs to either figure it out or they need to move on.

yeah but giving up Tobias Harris and getting back Ryan Anderson isnt an upgrade anywhere. I think they would have to get another good player back, someone better than Lee or Joe Johnson.

Fish may be the only poster who still has real estate on Burks Island. He ain't selling low. I sold most of my property but still have a condo there just in case.

I bought half that island from all y'alls at pennies on the dollar. Fish and I will bank on that island being a popular resort in the wake of Hayward's departure and a year of getting his body back. You guys can come back for a nice December reunion to see all of the renovations.

What is everyone going to do when Favors is our starting 4 come November? Outside of a Love trade, he's by far our best option.

I'm not sure about everyone else but I will be cheering on the Jazz.

From what's been reported, Portland is willing to take Ryan Anderson and move Harkless to New York, BUT they want to dump one of their bad contracts (e.g., Meyers Leonard) on a 4th team. So a 4th team would need to come in to be the patsy, and probably get rewarded with a pick or two.

I don't think the Jazz are involved in the Carmelo/Houston deal. I think the Jazz must have something else they've been cooking for weeks involving Favors and I'm guessing maybe Exum.

I'd bet my left nut they are not trading Exum

That is a bad bet... if you lose you are down a nut and the process to extract said nut can't be fun... if you win you just won a nut... bad deal by you.

A team looking for young players and picks would inquire about Exum. I'm not sure if the Jazz would move him or not. The Jazz front office seems to be talking a lot of smack about Rubio entering his prime.

Give it up, guys. It's not happening. I don't think...

 

[Stoked]

I think waiving Diaw decreased the likely hood of anything happening before the season starts.

Jazz open the season with this:

Gobert/Jerebko/Bradley
Favors/JJ/Udoh/Bolomboy
Ingles/Sefolosha
Hood/Mitchell/Burks
Rubio/Exum/Neto

I'm aware this probably isn't a perfect depth chart.

Just flip Jerebko (pf) and Udoh (c).

And I think we will see Ingles as the 6th man.

And I think we will see Ingles as the 6th man.

Why?

 

[LogGrad98]

Why?

I think Sefolosha fits better with the starting group. And Ingles is already established as one of the 2 primary leaders of the team, along with Gobert. That gives you a glue guy and a leadership presence on both squads.

I'll take a share for myself, just a little hut will do for me.

Bradley and Bolomboy go to the G-League, Griffin is a 4 / 5 and Jerebko is just a 4. I think both JJ and Burks could see minutes at the 3.

I thought I read teams can offer 17 contracts; Griffin would make 16. He's head and shoulders about B & B, and if you ask me he could be better than Jerebko. I think the guy has the tools to be a rotation player.

I think I want Ingles out with the starters but either way is fine.

He's too good to be a two way contract dude imo. If he takes that deal his max is like 25% of what he could make on a guaranteed minimum deal.

Again, why?

Gobert
Favors
Thabo
Hood
Rubio

We have one shooter. Maybe two guys who can create a shot for themselves or others. It would be an absolute disaster.

Ingles will start for several reasons:
1) They're paying him $13M/yr
2) He's our best shooter
3) He's a good defender
4) He's better than Thabo
5) The 2nd unit will have Joe Johnson, Mitchell, and Exum. They don't need Ingles to run the offense or create.

So I fail to see how Thabo fits better in the starting lineup. Don't see it at all, unless you're starting Ingles at the 4. As far as leadership for the 2nd unit...give me a break. They'll have Joe Johnson and Thabo, two solid vets. It'll be fine.
