Ingles being traded is interesting. Expiring contracts are definitely enticing to other teams.
For us though? Quin doesn’t roll like that.Mooney would play 5... I guarantee
Ingles has value to us beyond being an expiring... not sure he does to other teams. It would be truly one of the dumbest things to trade him. He’s been an iron man and this next year is his swan song. He’s one of the more flexible pieces. I can’t even think of a rational move that makes sense for us, him, and an acquiring team.Ingles being traded is interesting. Expiring contracts are definitely enticing to other teams.
Unstoppable!Tony’s post said the DEFENSE targeted him. As in, they were game-planning specifically to stop him, and couldn’t.
Cotton was only MVP because he took what the defense gave him, and when the defense is quintuple-teaming Mooney, you get to score a lot.I don't think you read that right. Other teams were throwing the kitchen sink at them to defense Bryce Cotton and him. Cotton was MVP of the league.
Unreal shooting mechanicsUnstoppable!

The point guard who is the leading scorer in the Israel pro league looks interesting. A Canadian-Nigerian who played his college ball in Canada. Eric Griffin appears in the leaders in ppg so that league is not terrible.At this point Jazz should consider trading anyone not named Donovan Mitchell![]()

This is pretty much where I'm at. I'm probably blinded by how much I like his personality, but I think he's probably one of if not the most important leaders in the locker room-that's really important. He did lose a step, can't remember who said he hasn't-he was notably slower in the Clippers series-but he can still play.Ingles has value to us beyond being an expiring... not sure he does to other teams.

Yep, we don’t have one player that does everything Bogey does. But I think we can replace him pretty easily by committee. He’s a luxury for us and has trade value.

Thing is, who exactly are we getting to replace him? Same issue with Royce and Clarkson. That's another big reason I'm on the trade Bogie bandwagon - his skill set is more or less redundant. Ingles, Royce, Clarkson, etc. are not.
I doubt we find a player worth making that sacrifice for... soThat’s fine, but if we are doing a sign and trade and some team wanted him instead of Clarkson or something is he a deal breaker?
That was something I noticed is he made a couple guys fee that pick. It’s an under-rated thing but pretty important for us.Quin and the rest of the FO will like Mooney’s ability to screen with intention I think. He knows why he’s doing it and how to do it and would fit in with our offense.
FWIW…
It isn’t hard, but I have zero confidence in them not f***ing this up. The names I’ve seen us linked with for the draft are honestly very concerning. Slow, fat body bigs, and small undersized guards. I mean, for ****’s guys.
We honestly should not be working out a single player that isn’t between 6’5 and 6’8 and that defend like hell. That’s the only criteria. Shooting is a plus, but not a necessity.
Yup, and then immediately finds the spot on the floor he needs to be after he creates the space the screen was intended to get.That was something I noticed is he made a couple guys fee that pick. It’s an under-rated thing but pretty important for us.
Yeah, I didn't mean for my salty tone to take away from what appeared to be some real positives, I, again, am just not sure what question he's answering here. But there are some positives for sure, and would theoretically provide some abilities that the Jazz don't really have (though again, might be more of a luxury than a necessity, assuming the roster doesn't change, that is...).Yup, and then immediately finds the spot on the floor he needs to be after he creates the space the screen was intended to get.
Either on the perimeter or to the hole to make the other defender make a decision.
Honestly impressive.
Rudy can’t be moved until October because he signed his extension. Any Rudy trade would be mid season or next offseason.So I don't know how much this has been talked about, but I am getting jumpy about retooling this team. The debate over whether it's Donovan or Rudy's team is over (at least/especially if it's the case that there is a level of rift under the surface that's not going to fully heal and may flare up), and most of the team's offensive talent are dudes that are an annual threat to fall of a cliff and whose contract statuses are or will soon be nigh.
So what is the possibility of trading Rudy to the Cavs for the #3 pick (if Evan Mobley is there, and whatever stuff has to be done to make it work)? I know Gobert can't technically be traded until October, but I don't know if that's simply a formality or not. I think Mobley pans out and would become a perfect big as he develops (though he might have some rough times in the first season or two at his weight and if he doesn't have a perfect front court mate alongside him). The Cavs might do that because they are jumpy about fielding a respectable team again (which is enough to make the playoffs in that joke of a conference).
Would the Jazz do that? Should the Jazz do that? Would the Cavs consider it (again, assuming Mobley is there at #3)?
