jom gotta jom, though. Check back in a few months when, with a straight face, he accuses the FO of not making this obvious and realistic trade for Yuta.
Trade deadline discussion
- Thread starter Jingled
- Start date
I'm on board with switching the Forrest and Butler development plans for awhile. I'm anxious for Butler to get some more time in the regular rotation and think Forrest could benefit with some more time running the show in the g league (once they start playing again) and getting more attention from the development coaches.
I guess it's possible that the team wants to give Forrest as much of a look as possible before deciding on giving him a real contract. For me, I would have already gotten that done already.

It makes sense to wait because of injury but it’s clear they have picked Trent over Miye and I think Miye has a January fully guaranteed date… so I think he may need to call Baileys.

Its obvious Toronto likes him and the Japanese market behind him but I still don't see a scenario where he'd get consistent minutes with OG, Barnes and Siakam being healthy. They will have a tough decision to make comes next summer.

Something strange about Forrest is this is the second year he has been on a two way contract and he has logged zero minutes of PT with the Stars during that time.
Yuta is probably too expensive and not proven enough yet to be worth his price tag from a trading team.
I'm sad, but hopefully one day the Jazz can get him.

Watching me some live Yuta tonight.

I think he could be had in free agency… guys in his tier/range typically don’t draw more than taxpayer MLE… unless he continues his strong play and teams get more confidence in him as a player.

Niang>Yuta
Quite possibly, that is the fortunate thing.

He was hit with a Niangphoon!
I mean, if it all it took to become a 40% shooter was walking tape I'd be in the league
Trent is a different player and athlete to GP2. GP2 is actually pretty similar to Shaq in terms of his track record and physical profile. I think GP2 deserves a ton of credit for the work he's put in and his obvious skill level improvement, but the Warriors are also the perfect team for him. Everyone knew about GP2's defense, it shouldn't be a surprise that he's been so good on that end...but the Warriors offense is perfect for him to succeed in. They play a very unique style that allows for a lot of cutting. They run more splits and off ball movement than anyone in the league and it opens up cuts whenever the defense makes a small mistake, and there are a ton of them when they are chasing Curry around all over the place.
The Jazz play a completely different style and he wouldn't have the same success with the cutting and being a pseudo big man. We're all about spreading out and setting up a PnR action with Gobert. 90% of our offense is just creating angles for the screen and spacing out. If GP2's shooting is real he could make it work out anywhere, but I think it's important for these fringe guys to find the right spot for them to succeed. The Jazz offense doesn't require a ton to make it work either, but it's a different skillset. It's really all about the shooting. If you can't/won't shoot like Forrest it's going to be really hard to make it work here.
Stanley Johnson is probably gone for the rest of the season with the Lakers, but he would have been a decent bet. I personally am a believer in Oni, but if Quin has given up on him there is no point to him being on the roster. We need to snatch up a player with a Hinkie special.
I still like Cedi Osman. He'd give us a little more size and athleticism on the wing without screwing up our spacing and ball movement. He'd fit in here.

true, GSW's offense is just perfect for guys like GPII or even Shaq because they don't require their guards to stick to their specific roles or positions. Their big men like Bjelica and Draymond are actual playmakers with three point range who could help spread the floor and provide their guards with the opportunities to to make backdoor cuts and score inside. But since we work with traditional big men like Rudy/Whiteside, our guards need to be either the one initiating offense or capable shooters to make use of the pick and roll.I mean, if it all it took to become a 40% shooter was walking tape I'd be in the league

i'd be looking at Bucks guards situations as well. Allen, Pat and Donte are basically the three guys competing for one spot right now. Any one of the three would be appealing candidate on the trade market.

I don’t know what the answer is, but Conley and Spida are really short and jingles looks old. I’d love to add one more quality piece, a 3-4 who can defend and hit 3s for our playoff run. Otherwise, I see us a tier below the warriors and Suns in the west. And I see us being potentially upset by the clippers or grizzlies if we meet in the playoffs.
