What's new

Lowry anybody?

Lowry has good defense FG% 15 feet and out and bad 15 ft and in. We have the interior defense to counter that.

Seems to be a bit of a ballstopper, though, on offense. He is a scoring PG, after all.
 
I'd do it in a heartbeat. It's a bit of a stretch to believe those assets we're giving up would turn out to be as good as Lowry/Patterson, and Lowry's contract will have amazing trade value in both '16-17 and '17-18.

Not doing it for the sake of developing Exum is just stupid as hell. If he pans out, we can always trade Lowry, but let's at least wait until Exum becomes better than God-awful before turning down amazing trades for the sake of giving Exum more minutes.
 
Just tossing this in here as I found it pretty amusing even if not quite related:

New thread on the realgm trade board:

Gobert for Parker and 17 and the general consensus is that the value isn't there for the Jazz, which I agree with.

Hysterical how much of a better place we are in now compared to last year.

Exum isn't "God awful", he's great on defense, and his offense will improve, it is his first year in what's considered the best league in the world and he's 19. HE IS 19. I didn't even know what life was at that age. I don't even have to hope now that good 'ol QS has the whip in his hands. that being said, I do however think Lowry would be a good fit considering he's a threat at the point we have been lacking. He just needs to be on board with Quin's system like the rest of the team. DL and QS have proven many of our statements false, and impressed us all. This is the first offseason where I'm not considerably over analyzing what's going to happen, a new found feeling I call #Jazzfaith. Jazz are bringing it next year, it's about time.
 
At face value it's a good deal for the Jazz. However, I'm not sure Lowry is the right fit, and I don't like the opportunity cost. I'd rather trade up in the draft, but if that's not possible.... a trade for a player is worth discussing.

An All Star in the EC isn't the same as an All Star in the WC, fwiw.
 
No thanks, would much rather target someone like Cory Joseph
Why? The Jazz don't need any more depth, they need better top-end talent.

Lowry's fire would fit very well on the Jazz. Prior to this season, he'd never attempted more than 13.6 field goals per 36; less than Favors, Kanter, Burke and Hayward from this year's Jazz team. I don't think chucking would be a big concern, especially since he's been playing for a coach who only seems to be able to draw up perimeter isos the last couple seasons. Not sure the deal in the OP is all that great, but if you can get Lowry without giving up too much, it's worth giving it a try. His contract is very tradeable.
 
The fit is questionable indeed(mainly about what we are trying to do defensively), but the value I think is very fair to say the least... when I saw it I actually thought, "no way they are doing this trade"... I think the only reason they would do it is if they decide to blow it up. I think you do not realize what a top 10 PG(and he is one for sure) can do for us. I'm confident Quin can use him and fit him into the system just fine.
a top 10 PG would take the ball out of our best playmakers hands. Don't get me wrong I actually like Lowry. I wanted him a few years ago. I just don't like the fit now and I don't like that price. It seems to high. If it can be done for just Lowry and not losing Booker I'd probably have a different opinion. But because of the cost I don't like it.
