Herro Rumors

From the 5 on the Floor Heat podcast… Jazz are willing to do THT and Sexton plus a first for Herro. The guy mentioned he’d talked with informed Utah contacts… earlier in the pod in a different convo he mentioned he talked with Tony Jones… I’d venture a really good guess that is where he heard it. Said they didn’t want to include KO.

Yeah, from what Heat fans say the 5 on The Floor guy is usually full of **** and he has been debunked in the past.

But it kind of makes sense to me, though what doesnt really make sense is the Jazz holding strong on keep KO. Like if a team wanted KO instead of THT/Sexton, would they really make that the breaking point? Obviously KO is more important to the team next year than Sexton or THT (especially considering we are getting Herro) but does he still have 3 good years left?

It’s cuz KO > THT and he’s DA’s guy. I bet he sticks around on a smaller deal after this season.

The informed Utah contact has to be The Monty Show?

Nah they dropped Tony’s name earlier in the pod on something else… I’m pretty sure that is who gave them the info. Monty is not a source for other media types… he is the mouthpiece of the sources directly to us.
 
If the raps stuff is true… we should try to snake OG away… I still think he’s overrated and going to get a bit overpaid this summer but the prices might be bearable now (they weren’t last offseason).

If we're open to give either of Sexton or THT it is because we don't see them as keepers for the future, and I don't blame them for that. THT is yet to prove he's a positive NBA player, and Sexton that he's worth a starting spot.

For all that can be said bout Dunn, he's an actual defender (which is something we do need, tho who knows If he's even in this year rotation, let alone for the future), and main thing is we drafted Keyonte George betting on getting a PG out of him, cause If he ain't that, then he's a pure scorer undersized SG, and doing that within a rebuild means a reasonable route for playing time for him to play PG if they consider him ready enough to belong and learning that position also on the court, not waiting 2 to 3 years like Poole to Curry, but instead to Curry with 4 rings, 2 mvps, a fmvp at a title aspiration team, he's behind and when playing deterring to all of Clarkson, Sexton, THT (who knows If Dunn too) at a play-in aspiration team.

Tony follows them on Twitter, fwiw.

No, it's because we like Herro better
 
I dont get how the Raptors can be serious contenders.

They would have to trade Trent JR, OG, and Dick along with at least two picks. That would leave them with a pretty sparse roster. The starting lineup would be talented, but I dont think that's a top 6 team in the East.

Lillard
Schroeder
Barnes
Siakim
Poetl

They would have a horrendous bench, like worst in the NBA type bench. Given Lillard's injury concerns, that seems like a flimsy roster. Their best bench players are Bouncher and Precious. Their backup wings are horrendous and their best bench guard is an aging Will Barton.

They could swap Little and Porter Jr to make it a bit better for the Raptors and give them a depth piece w/ some potential.

Or they could omit trading Trent Jr, add an extra pick, and find a 3rd team to dump a bunch of their mid level contracts to (but that would require usage of 2nd round picks most likely).
 
How much better is Bane than Herro?

I would say he's better, but not much. Herro is also 1.5 years younger, so he has a chance of surpassing Bane if he can make some solid leaps this upcoming season.

He's going to earn 5 million less per season (for 3 seasons) when Bane's extension kicks in the following season.

I don't think it would stop him at all. But if there's anything that's been in the works I would bet the teams involved would want to get it done before camp starts. Last year the Bogdanovic trade happened just before camp -- like 4 days. I wouldn't be surprised to see something like that happen this week.

Bane is a much better defender than Herro. I see them on a similar level offensively, but Bane's defense makes him much more valuable.
