Jazz trade for Niang

Niang doesn't help the tank at all. No idea why people are calling him a "tank Commander". He makes the team better, not dramatically so, but the Jazz will be a better team with him than without him
 
I love that he brings better culture. Last year everyone looked like they hated each other by the end of the season. Its an easy thing to have happen when you don't win, but you need a healthy locker room whether you are a top team or a bottom dweller. Especially if you are a bottom dweller. If that is all he brings it would be a great thing. Also, vets show others how to play.

I agree. I just wanted to post the image of a minivan with a rail gun or a missile launcher because the team is tanking regardless of what the bench looks like.
 
Niang and Anderson are both players who could probably play regular season minutes on a good team. They are also well known good locker room guys (Nurkic could also be considered here, but depends on the locker room).

They will deserve/take playing over the young guys. I don't think having the vet presence makes a significant difference over simply having more minutes for the young guys. Having them play here for the first half of the season before an inevitable buyout seems fine, but personally I would probably prefer to just have more opportunity+roster spots.

Again, I refuse to believe the same front office who did this deal and the John Collins deal is responsible for the Collin Sexton trade.

You must have missed the game Sexton yelled at Collier last season.

He’s a cancer than needs to be gotten rid of (frim the Jazz perspective).
 
Not sure if I like this or not. I’m not going to do an analysis of what players you could absorb with the TPE before this trade and after, but I sure hope the Jazz did.

Happy for the 2nds.
