Simmons has the better numbers but the context in which Mitchell has put up his is more impressive imo. Tho both are deserving & I can see the argument for either

Good grades. As long as DL, Snyder, Gobert, & Mitchell are here, I don't see how we won't be successful. We are extremely lucky to have them. And that's not even mentioning guys like Ingles, Rubio, Crowder, Exum, etc. Great time to be a Jazz fan.

I did not. Thanks for the info.

What is everyone's opinion on Tra Holder? I think he will find a role somewhere as a scorer off the bench.

Not sure how anyone can listen to/observe Mitchell & come away with anything other than a sense of sincere humility & thoughtfulness. Outside of some NBA2k create a player nonsense, DM is essentially the prototype that I would use if designing a young star (skill-wise as well as...

I was talking more specifically about a player's team-first mentality/all-out style of play. I agree GSW has multiple tough competitors but some styles of competitiveness can ultimately have a net-negative impact on a locker room/team chemistry in the long run. DM, Gobert, Ingles, & Crowder (&...

To use Crowder as an example/excuse to bring this up, DL deserves serious credit for utilizing a strategy that has been seemingly neglected/undervalued by focusing on competitive players that fit the team culture. I still believe that talent typically wins out, especially in this current NBA...

Crowder shouldn't be judged until after he's had a full off-season with the team. He's still in the proces of integratimg/brushing off his (fixable) poor tendencies developed in CLEn, seemingly due to their style of play/offense. At minimum, he should be a key role-player for a couple more...

Wasn't necessarily a need but def a guy you want on your team during a playoff push, even if only for what he brings to a locker room. I'm not overly familiar with IND's big man situation but I assume he's chasing playing time. Tho I'd be surprised if DL didn't at least inquire on him, as his...

I'm a fan & he fits the mold of player DL has targeted but imo we need to be careful about who we commit significant long-term cap space to as we are likely still an impact player away from truly contending. Bradley is seemingly maxed out so unless he comes at a bargain, we need to preserve our...

Crowder's personality/style of play should mesh perfectly with DM, Gobert, Ingles, etc. My guess is it's 1 of the main reasons (along with contract/versatility) DL targeted him.

Hood is probably a better fit in a vacuum due to his shooting/age but Crowder is signed for 2 more years at below market value & is a "Jazz type of player" ala DMC/Booker. I was hoping we would target picks/young talent but given our recent success & current standing in the playoff picture, it...

Booker's ceiling is a 2nd/3rd option on a championship caliber team ala Klay Thompson. Mitchell's ceiling is the best player on a championship caliber team ala Wade. Anyone who prefers Booker is either a Sun's fan or someone who's never seen Mitchell play. Or David Kahn.

Mitchell being as good as he already is in the 1st year of his rookie deal is a huge advantage as it allows us to gamble by offering a max contract to a RFA since the deal would come off the books right as Mitchell is due for an extension (if I'm not mistaken). Imo we should trade Hood for a...

Likely true but SVG is allegedly attempting to save his job so I wouldn't necessarily rule out a desperation trade.

DET is rumored to have interest in Hood & are apparently considering offering S.Johnson. I don't view him as a great fit on this roster but Kennard is intriguing imo. Although I'm not sure if DET would do this as they're looking to add shooting & Hood for Kennard is a bit of a lateral move in...

I'm not claiming that it's likely but I do think it would be negligent to not at least inquire about the possibility. We may very likely be outbid if the pick is made available but I do think we are in a unique position to offer a combination of "win now" pieces that could help salvage a season...

I'm not sure it's that simple. As I said, hanging on to the pick would be the right long-term decision for CLE & their GM has shown to be competent thus far but they are in a tricky situation. Unless the FO is operating under the assumption that LBJ is gone regardless & they are set on keeping...

With the turmoil/uncertainty surrounding CLE, I would consider targeting a late 1st for any combination of Rubio/Burks/JJ/Jerebko/Udoh with the intention of adding it to Hood/Favors as part of an offer for the BKN 1st + 1 of their bad contract. CLE would likely be wise to hang on to the pick...

3.5 games away from the the 5th pick in a lost season, with Favors unlikely to re-sign & Hood likely to get overpaid considering his inconsistencies & injuries, I can't see any reasonable argument for not trading both (+ anyone else of positive value outside of DM/Gobert + Exum/Ingles/Bradley...
