If we can't get one of the other targets out there, this is a no brainer.
Why would Kings do that though? They have like $1B in cap space this offseason. I think we'd have to add something or give them a backup pg... There could be a three team deal with Atlanta if they liked Exum.... I don't think he's available even though he's not getting as much run as he was earlier in the season.
Show Tobias the clip of DM high giving the crowd and then a highlight of the clippers arena dead silent or cheering for the warriors or lakers... then get his Bank account info so we know where to send the direct deposits.
He already shoots most of his 3s on open shots. 4.1 of his 4.7 3s per game are on open shots. Oddly he shoots worse on wide open shots than his average though at 42.7. He does drive the ball a lot, which fits in with our system this year. But he also runs a lot of ISO plays that does not fit in. He also is a really poor defender which does not fit in. He allows 70% at the rim. Which is one of the worst PFs in the league.
Luckily gobert is actually quite defensively around the rim.
I think having a shooter like harris would makeoffense easier for gobert as well which might leave even more energy for gobert to expend on defense
I dont think we can rely on just having Gobert as our defender and others not be good. He plays poor defense all around. That is just one example. Teams can pull Gobert out of the paint and often do. Thats one of the reasons Gobert and Favors together can be elite on defense. Because you cant pull them both out.
I think Harris could be good here. I just think there might be better options and better fit players. I also dont think he is worth the 33 million and rising contract. The 4th year would be 38 million. If he could be had for less then I would be much more inclined to go after him.
I actually think we more good defenders than just gobert. He is just super duper elite around the rim.
I think coach quin is a good defensive coach, jingles is a good defender, oneal is a good defender, korver is a good defender, exum is a good defender...... agree to disagree i guess.
All Utah players are good defensively. What's common among Hood, JJ, Jerebko and Burks?I actually think we have more good defenders than just gobert. He is just super duper elite around the rim.

I'm going to be shocked if the Jazz actually make a trade before the deadline. The team seems to like each other, and probably has a legit shot at the WCF as presently constructed if they can avoid the GS bracket. The FO clearly thinks they're going to get someone really good in Free Agency this offseason.
I think we can throw a bad defender into a lineup and cover it up with our team full of good defenders..... in fact i have seen us do it before. We have had bad defenders on this team and looked great. You yourself have been bashing ricky defense a lot. We have looked elite defensively, number one in the league in fact, with that poor defender starting and playing big minutes because we have a ******** of good defenders. You can totally add a great offensive player who sucks on defense to a team that desperately needs offense and is full of great defenders and be successful. Im certain of it.Im not saying we dont have good defenders. I am saying we cant just throw a bad defender in and say oh well, we have Gobert to cover that up.

That we were elite defensively while they were on the team. Yep, thats true.
And neto, ricky, niang, grayson, crowder, are not really that good defensively.
Fact is that some players are not very good at defensive but if they are great offensively they are still very important.
That harden player actually is quite valueable but not a good defender. Curry too.
I'm all for trading Dante and derrick. But I want to see them on the same team!!!! Starting togetherIf we got Conley and Otto, I think we can beat anybody.
Favors, Thabo and a 1st for Porter
Rubio and Exum for Conley
And we might even get lucky and find a good buy out player or two with our 2 extra roster spots.
