Lebron is back and the young Kuzma , Ingram , Ball can get back to playing basketball after surviving the trade deadline. I don't know who bets against Lebron but I don't. Lakers are going to come ballin to make the playoffs.
Sacramento got better ,they found their SF in Harrison Barnes and...
LOL ,Jazz fanz got to suck it up about Exum ,you get to hate on him for the duration because NO trades happened because of him. Jazz valued him over Rubio and Favors who they tried to trade.
WTF about Snyder though …..clearly he loves Rubio and doesn't like Exum like the front office does...
Barnes avg 18 ppg and shooting 39% on 6spg from 3 pters. moves into Sac Kings lineup and add Alec Burks with Bogdanovic ,Giles,Bagley, to the 2nd unit and Sacramento looks to load up for a run for the playoffs …… still waiting on Jazz to do something
Dennis Lindsey ….Who ?
If Toronto picks up Conley and Gasol after trading for Leonard and Green before the season ,THEN they would have turned over 4 starters and be heavily favored to beat up the East to get to the Championships....Oh but Lindsey got Korver
Toronto is better than Utah and if they dump Lowry and he falls into Utah it looks like scraps and Toronto looks bold and aggressive in getting Conley/Gasol to go with Leonard/Siakam,and Green.
Lowry isn't going to make Utah better by coming to the western Conference.
Utah better see if...
I wrote a week ago that I didn't think Memphis trades for Rubio to be their starter ,because he's unrestricted after this season (30 games) and that it wouldn't surprise me if Exum started for them the rest of the season.
Now Wall blew out his achilleas tendon and wonder if Porter for...
As long as people know Snyder more than Gobert than Rudy will never make an All star team. Gobert is who made Snyder get called a good coach, without Gobert Snyder was a poor coach who couldn't win without him. Snyder's offense holds Gobert back as it gets Mitchell all the freedom to shoot...
IF Jazz don't get bold and look for mid level trades instead their going to hover around 7/8 in the playoff race. Mitchell is doing good now but if his play slides back towards the play of the beginning of the season the Jazz will be in trouble and a likely 1st round exit.
Their assets are...
I agree the slow start when Utah was "suppose" to start out as one of the premier teams after last year was like a balloon deflating and like it or not Gobert gets tagged with that. Undoubtedly he's playing dominant right now but the slow start hurt his chances .
A good trade now would be …
Harrison Barnes for Favors and Exum
Barnes has more 3 pters and FT"s made and attempted and shooting a higher % ( 3 pt) and (FT) than both Ingles and Crowder and averaging near 18 ppg . He's 26 capable of playing PF and Dallas biggest need is C and PG.
Porzingas never had a team mate that could pass the ball like Doncic ,he's also never had a scorer like Doncic.
I think theres a lot of teams who would give up a couple of 1st round picks for Porzingis if they could have.
Its not my favorite lineup yet but it's the one I want to see succeed the most..... Exum,Mitchell,Ingles,Favors,Gobert w/ Crowder,Korver,Rubio still quality minutes and Allen, O'Neale 9th and 10th players
Even David Locke's analytics can't justify Mitchell being All-Star worthy BUT Gobert is playing well enough to be considered.
But Gobert plays for a very average Utah team led by average playing starting guards in Rubio/Mitchell both who lack touch on lob city to Gobert. Gobert needs big dunks...
Embiid missed 2 years with injuries and this is manufacturing hate up because you don't like the guy and that he tried to hurt Rubio …..Not a dirty Play !
