trade partners made in heaven: Utah and Detroit

[NAOS]

Both teams are under-performing; both teams are installing new systems and have a few players that seem mismatched; both teams looking for better fits while focusing on player development.

Burke could go "home" and help sell some tix.
Jennings could help with Snyder's pace.
Etc.

Discuss & list your favorite Utah-Detroit trade scenario!!!

I'm probably in the minority that kind of likes Jennings, so yeah, if Detroit would take Burke and a lottery protected 1st rounder, I would do it.

Wait we have to add the pick or Detroit. Either way I hate it... I just may hate it a little less if we got a pick.

I brought this up as a scenario a week ago. But offering a protected 1st as well like Cy proposed is stupid.

 

[NAOS]

I don't see either team surrendering picks.

I'm not a big Jennings guy, but I take him over Burke. I think Q could use him well. I haven't watched much of him in a while... I'm assuming his defense is ****. Amiright?

 

[QuinSnydersHair]

I'd guess his d stinks but he can at least penetrate (if he's anything like I remember him being) and would and should be great at drawing defenders and dishing it to Hayward and others camping out at the three point line.

You're such a nasty perv.

I like Trey a lot better... either guy is a placeholder until Exum is ready and I think Trey has been cool with Dante. I'd much rather keep Trey... he's a much better trade asset than Jennings is.

Why not sign David Stockton from the DLeague. He is second in the league in assists.

When you supposedly have your PG of the future offering ANY asset(let alone first round picks) for an inefficient shoot first PG in a system that relies a lot on passing sounds insane to me.

Jennings is ****.not "the ****".
I mean, he is plain and simple, excrement.
I pass.

do you think Jennings is better than Trey, in general?

do you think Jennings is better than Trey in Q's system? (recognizing, of course, that it is less position-focused than other systems)

Your post is seems to imply that any deal for Jennings would be a bad one. There are, of course, bad scenarios. Are there good ones, too?

Jennings isn't that inefficient. He has no floor spacing to work with in Detroit and he hasn't in a long time. He hasn't play alongside someone at talented as Hayward. He is also pretty good at not turning the ball over.

Giving up a lottery protected draft pick isn't a big deal in the West. We might not even make the playoffs next year. You have to give up stuff to get talent. Jennings will most likely be better than anyone we get in the future in the non-lottery.

Jennings is one of those players that gets hated on so much (because he was overrated coming into the NBA) that he has actually become underrated.

Agree.
While I'm not opposed to the Jazz combining assets to upgrade a position, I don't think Jennings is very much of an upgrade. He's a career 39% shooter. Trey is at 38% in his 2nd season. Now I do admit Jennings gets to the line a lot more. But if the Jazz are going to give up a pick AND a starter on a rookie contract, they should get a lot more.

For the right deal I'd part with one of the GSW picks.

so propose a deal with more in it. That's the game of this thread. Duh.
