So anyways, I know Locke was just throwing out D'Lo has a random idea, but surely there is someone or someones on his mind that could be the "next Oladipo" that the Jazz could trade for or pry away in free agency. Someone who has a lot of potential but has played for terrible coaches and situations. Someone on a team who wants to clear cap space to sign a big free agent. Any ideas on players who fit that mold?
Maybe Malik Monk who was buried on the bench last year by Clifford (zero starts in 63 games, 13.6 minutes per game as a rookie)
Someone mentioned Josh Jackson who Igor is playing 21MPG. Dragan Bender is a guy who has a lot of tools and is a decent catch and shoot big, but he has been terrible in his career.
On the Lowe Post, Jackie MacMullen talked about Jaylen Brown and how people in the Celtics locker room think he's a bit weird and think he's not the intellectual he thinks he is. He's also struggled this year and Kyrie said "How do you get out of your own way to become the best version of yourself in an environment with other great players? You’re not in an environment where we can wait around for you." This one's a longshot, I'm pretty sure they'll hold onto him for some bigger trade down the line or something. Lowe said that Ainge thought very highly of him and that he wouldn't include Jaylen in a trade for Kawhi last year because of his great run especially in the playoffs.
I was hoping Aaron Gordon would be the guy, but I was banking on Jonathan Isaac having a breakout year and showing himself to be the future with Bamba or Vucevic.
