Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

If there weren't first rounders out there for Beasley... would you do Malik for Trent Jr.? I'd like to get a second or Banton or some sweetner there. Is Trent better than Malik. After watching Malik I don't see how Trent would be a worse defender. I think he is at least solid on that end because he gets a lot of steals, but not sure he is like disciplined and solid with moving his feet and stuff.

Not sure there is more there but he's still shockingly young. I think he wants out of Toronto. He'd be a big flight risk but again you are risking 1 year of Beasley.

It’s actually crazy how good Clarkson has been this year and it’s not getting talked about very much.

21 PPG, 4.3 APG, 4 RPG on 45/35/82 shooting including a 57 TS%.

That’s not much different than CJ McCollum’s numbers.

Ya, i probably dont give his game enough credit. I always love the person but dont appreciate his game enough. I think he is one of the best in the nba at finishing in the paint though and have always brought that up. I guess the games when he keeps jacking up and missing three after three and finishes like 2-11 from 3 when I know he can get buckets inside frustrate me more than they should.
Gonna try to keep this in mind going forward and show him more love.

Bolmaro for 3 picks and a chick fila. Do it Danny... even if you have to include the Arby's swiss dip.

Btw, on the 23rd of january arbys will be debuting some kind of steak sandwich. they didn't release many details though so thats all i got. Im excited.

That is the recipe for us... Lauri/Walker are mfers at the rim and we are a good defense... we get mega efficient production from Lauri on high volume and Walker on low volume... then JC provides good average offensive production... the challenge is improving the defense on the wing and making sure to do it while having efficient floor spacers... It is why I really want to see Ochai starting instead of Beasley.

At least for now that's how I see us becoming a 50 win team again.

Long term Mikal Bridges is the perfect option to have on this roster. If we can nail this off season via draft and free agency then he is a player I would to get with once we are ready to contend.

And he is who I think of when I think of the ideal 3 and D guy that would slot in there... and that is why you try and see if Ochai can become some version of that (does not have Bridges length so it would be a poor man's version). I'm also more interested in seeing what it looks like with Ochai than I am seeing what it looks like if you throw KO in the starting lineup.
 
Here is our schedule leading up to the trade deadline:

1/20 Brooklyn
1/23 Charlotte
1/25 @ Portland
1/28 Dallas
2/1 Toronto
2/3 Atlanta
2/6 Dallas
2/8 Minnesota

Looking at the standings, we should be in at least 6th place by the trade deadline, and if we beat Dallas we could be in 5th, with an outside chance of 4th.

It might be difficult for the front office to be sellers when we're a top 6 team in the west.

We going 6-2 over that stretch... I am confident in DA though... he has been able to get Ryan to do the hard things. So while it likely is a factor I think it won't prevent us from doing something good long term if it is available.

I think I'd be more concerned that we do really well, DA does a devastating trade that gets us assets but guts the vets, and Lauri is pissed off about it and mentions it during his pending FA.

And I know you know this, but Agbaji has the tools to be a good defender, and I think he will be at some point, but isn't currently a good defender.

Yes, I think Ainge makes it much less likely that we overreact to the results of an easy part of our schedule.

100% but I do think the shooting and acrobatic offensive plays he adds is enough to see what it could look like. I also think he is better than Beasley on defense... he also needs reps. Doesn't mean he gets starter minutes per se... but 15 minutes with the starting lineup a night would be nice to see.

Wait wait wait wait just a freaking minute!!!!?

You can buy arby’s sauce at the store?? Mind blown!!!!
Click to expand...

Yep, and Horsey Sauce. Also, you can get the Ranch and spicy Ketchup from Whataburger too!

The downside is that you have to go to Walmart. . .

But, man you can make some legit homemade sandwiches with those tools. Also, homemade Curly fries!

All I need is a bottle of Hot Mustard from McDonalds and I think I would be set.

Fortunately, he is good enough on offense that you can let him learn with game minutes. Shooting 38% from 3 as a rookie is pretty amazing. Donovan shot 34% and Kyle Korver shot 39%.

Agree with giving him minutes and that his offense had looked good lately, but I don't quite understand the 3pt % comparison. He's hasn't attempted enough to really say anything about yet.
