Jazz trade Fonteccio to Pistons for 2024 2nd

6'8 shooter who defends while shooting 40% from 3.

What's hard to understand?

He's not that great of a defender and is a spot up shooter. I'll give you that he's a good shooter, but in my eyes he's a Bojan clone, and how much better are the Pistons today?

I think it boils down to them wanting to open up minutes for Hendricks and they wanted some action on the 2024 draft.

Sure that too but I don't think they were going to pay Tecc on a MLE type deal this summer either. Some team perhaps even Detroit was likely going to give him a decent offer this summer.

He's a good defender and can guard big wings. Contenders dont want their role players being off the dribble shooters. Simone is a great shooter against closeouts.

He's better than Bojan at a fraction of the price. Bogey cant defend a chair anymore.
 
Like if we traded KO i could easily predict the minutes and rotation/lineup changes that would follow. Same with a sexton or clarkson trade.
I got no idea what the starting lineup will be now or how the rotation will play out.

If they trade Sexton for something less than amazing I'm going to lose it.

I think they were hamstrung by that Collins contract esp if they are going to extend Lauri too. Maybe I'm dead wrong.

Look I'm upset they traded Tecc too. Trying to make sense of it.

Certain they could time those things were they wouldnt be an issue.

Sounds like this was to open up minutes for Ochai and a KO trade is coming next for Hendricks.

Im down with that. Play the young guys and try hard to win. Would be awesome to see hendricks and ochai contribute to a playoff team.

Happily? Celebrate? 13M a year for Fontecchio is far from that.

Look man, I know your thing is to kind of **** on players once they get traded, but you are being weird if you sit here and act like a 40% 3pt shooter (not just a wide open spot-up guy either, a guy who can make tough looks off the catch and motion) isnt worth that. Simone is basically a poor man's Klay Thompson and is hyper valuable.
 
I have no idea if Procida is any good or will become an NBA player. But his percentages are fine. Unlike the NBA in Europe they play and are allowed to play defense. Also, unlike college all the leagues are full of seasoned professionals, not 19-21yos.

Tecc's situation would help the money crunch, not hurt it. His cap hold is tiny, that's the only relevant thing here.

Me too. I dont think they will though. Would have to be a great offer imo. Hardy might not like sexton but I think DA does.
