Trade deadline discussion

I'm not gonna lie, the "Fire Quin" crowd is really annoying. It reminds me of when Bucks fans stupidly wanted Budenholzer canned despite the fact that he was obviously an amazing coach. Just feels like that's the natural instinct of your typical dumb fan who wants to blame something: Blame the coach.

Quin's only designed the #1 offense in the NBA by a mile, despite not having any offensive superstars. The players all universally seem to love him. But yeah, fire Quin because he doesn't throw away enough challenges and doesn't play your pet G-league project enough minutes.

I agree. The Fire Quin movement is so unjustified and premature. Outside of the occasional problems with our effort level, our issues are more with roster construction than coaching.

Let’s be clear, I’m not advocating firing Quin right now, just kind of reading the tea leaves.

But yeah, if we lose early (especially in the first round) I think things are going to get pretty ugly.

not to mention the only "g-league projects" receiving minutes from him all turned out amazing. namely Royce, Niang and now Forrest. While the other G-league scrubs are proven to be scrubs no matter where they go and what coaches they play for.

They might not be as attractive this season because how bad they've been, but at least these buyouts want to go there when they're good

Only way a buyout guy ends up here is no one else wants him, and we can be sure that guy will look if he can get a larger bag in Europe or China

There are quite a few people that remember the crap and lies he told while at Missouri. Can people be redeemed? Of course they can but it is never a good look on the redemption trail when the coach and GM don't communicate and the coach gets the GM fired. He is putting all his eggs in one basket.

No offensive superstars? Lol, come on now that’s comical.

Mitchell isn't a top 10 offensive player (at least not in the regular season).

I don't care where you set the bar for superstar, change it to "despite not having a top 10 offensive player" if you want to bicker about terminology.
 
I like the NAW pickup. The Jazz do a good job of spacing the floor, but they haven't really had anyone taller than Mitchell and Clarkson who can put the ball down and get to the rim. NAW can do that. NAW is a guy who could come off a Gobert screen and end up dunking.

I have to admit, I am glad that we didn't lose another first round pick just for the draftnik in me.

Yeah, it's funny how you get attached to certain scenarios and convince yourself it will make all the difference. I really like our roster as is, the head coach, well that's a different matter altogether. That being said, either by accident or whatever some of that bench development is taking place now and we will be a better team because of it. And we only lost one decent able bodied player at the deadline! The question now is what happens moving forward. Does Hernangomez stick or do we take another flyer on House or play the buyout market? And how about NAW? Could be a pleasant surprise! I mean when you think bout it, for a guy that may never step on a court again, a G Leaguer and a couple of seconds, it's all found money!

He's even better in the postseason, but in the regular season, it's damn close.

He's top 10 in the NBA in scoring
5+ assists per game despite not being the PG
Top 6 in the NBA for guards scoring in the paint

I'm trying to think of the 10 players better offensively

I mean up until last night Mitchell was top-9 in PPG and averaged the same as Steph and Jokic.

Harden Jokic Durant Curry Trae Luka KAT LeBron Giannis CP3 Ja Embiid

That was just quickly off the top of my head, there's probably more.

No matter how Locke, Jones, Clayton and others will try to sugarcoat this, the Jazz's number 1 goal for the deadline was to acquire a wing defender and they failed to do so.

Unless Forrest can do that. House can do it too. House is as good as Torrey Craig, for example.
