As i said 46 shoots from jc and don for 46 points and 10 to and now we gonna some1 tell us how we need atletisam and defence...At least Bogey doesn't single-handedly shoot the team out of games.
Yeah, only if we have someone like Bogey who could step up to provide the much needed firepower, we would’ve won tonight. Oh wait...As i said 46 shoots from jc and don for 46 points and 10 to and now we gonna some1 tell us how we need atletisam and defence...
So we don't play defense?Yeah, only if we have someone like Bogey who could step up to provide the much needed firepower, we would’ve won tonight. Oh wait...
You acting like we are the Nets with three elite scorers in KD/Harden/Kyrie who just iso their way to the W cuz no one could stop them. Then yeah, defense? What defense?
But see, we don't have scorers at a level which they can guarantee you production every night, what we have is a bunch of secondary/tertiary scorers, which means some night they will be on, some night hey will be off, like tonight. How do you win ball games when you can't throw into the ocean or the defenders simply lock you down?
Maybe play some defense on the other end to grind out the W?

on the perimeter? yeah, that's a no.So we don't play defense?
That all sounds cute, but it’s empty without any realistic trade scenarios offered up.Although I do think Bogey is a little overrated, it’s more about our glaring defensive needs and surplus of scoring that makes me want to deal.
Almost all of my reasoning for trading Bogey would also apply to the idea of trading Clarkson. Having both is a great luxury, but I think this team would be better off picking one or the other and addressing the defensive need.
IMO, Bogey would probably yield more on trade market so I would rather move him. Also, JC is freaking awesome. But if it came down to it I would also do the same type of trade, scorer for defender, if it had to be JC. I’m not married to the idea of trading Bogey, just the idea that we would be a better team with more defense.
Dude, you’re just wrong. So back off. Or be a bitch. I’m guessing you’ll go the latter route.it is both. free throw is the easiest way to score points in basketball, period. Taking that away will result in less points scored in a basketball game. just look up the numbers. stats don't lie. highest scoring games are also the ones with the highest number of free throws. reducing free throws would help the gameflow, yes. but they don't just take away free throws without bearing in mind that points would also get reduced as a result.
More cute. More empty.Bogey's playoff minutes where almost entirely tethered to Mitchell's. And once again, I'm not trying to just pick on Bogey. I think we can be elite on offense if as long as we have Mitchell. We should move one of the scorers, doesn't have to be Bogey, for a defender. There's overwhelming evidence to suggest that we can still be elite without one of the main guys. Two full regular seasons and two playoff series. Bogey just seems like the most obvious scorer to trade if we were to do so.
I guess I'm just being a downer, but the Clippers series did happen and the DEN series before that. We've lost back to back years because we couldn't defend. If you guys want to pretend like that didn't happen or aren't concerned by it, to each their own. But the defense is definitely a concern for me and swapping the backups doesn't inspire much confidence. Scoring without Bogey/Clarkson on the roster? Not a concern at all for me. I think you are vastly underrating the rest of this roster if you concerned about scoring.
Ain’t happening without draft capital. And we don’t have that capital. How does Bogey fit their timeline, like, at all?I'd trade bogey for Grant straight up right now. And frankly if we sweetened it somehow Detroit might show interest. But other than something like that nothing would make any sense right now.
Lol.Yeah, only if we have someone like Bogey who could step up to provide the much needed firepower, we would’ve won tonight. Oh wait...

"sometimes" is very good choice of words here. we can use a guy who could play solid D "sometimes". Instead, we have guys like Bogey, JC and even Jingles who couldn't play D at anytime. so what happen when our best defender Rudy and Royce were having off nights defensively, who's gonna step up?On the other hand i saw some great defense on derozan last night and he scored anyway. Sometimes great defenders can do nothing to stop great scorers.

Who wouldn’t trade Bogey for Grant? Who would trade Grant for Bogey?I'd trade bogey for Grant straight up right now.
Hart doesn’t really fit the need. We can’t trade a wing for another guard.I don't know where you've been, but we've talked about different targets several times. Hart, Anderson, Covington many times in this thread. In the summer we also talked about Smart, Young, Nance ect. I've also said ad nauseum that finding a trade partner is difficult, but the general idea of trading a scorer (Bogey/Clarkson) for a defender like those listed makes all the sense in the world to me.
Not sure where to stick this, but Kyle Anderson is an expiring contract this year. Considering that this could be Ingles’ last season, I would hope the Jazz are seriously considering running at Anderson with the full MLE.
