Nic Batum really isn't that good, and the only real plus Batum has in his favour over Love is 2 less years on the deal. But Batum has gone through a couple of coaches now, has tried being played anywhere from 2 - 4 with some stints as a small ball 5 as well with Borrego, and he could barely keep...

I don't see/understand why the Jazz would want to trade for anything on the Charlotte roster not named Jeremy Lamb or Miles Bridges. Their roster is doo doo, and I'd absolutely take Love and his contract over Batum and his contract as at least with Love I know that if I can get him healthy at...

I'm just glad Gobert got in over empty calories Towns, should have been the same for the ASG too but hey the NBA are slow learners.

I'm of the impression that Kemba can be a much more efficient player than he already is if he doesn't have to rely on Jeremy Lamb or 85 year old Nic Batum to be his 2nd options, and he actually gets to play in a lineup with more than one or two shooters on the floor. There's a fair concern...

The idea with DLo and the rumours is that the Nets would rescind his rights due to basically upgrading him with Kyrie and needing to remove his cap hold so he effectively becomes a UFA anyway (at least as far as I know, cap heads feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)

What's Jazzfanz feelings regarding DLo now? If Kyrie ends up in BKN and Kemba in NYK like some rumours are suggesting that'll free up DLo to be a FA. I don't feel strongly one way or the other but curious to know where the board is at compared to earlier in the season when it was LoPo vs the world.

You're right but Jingled is also right in saying that there's no real point in having the Bucks tie up your cap space for 3 days when it's about 99% confirmed he's staying with the Bucks considered he's an RFA. You can express interest in a number of other ways without necessarily tying up your...

The one thing I learned/took away from the Jazz' playoff run this year is that the on/off or +/- numbers with lineups mean jack **** come playoff time and it's all about matchups, as the Jazz are too well coached and have enough talent to get by in the regular season regardless. Jazz had zero...

I thought their offense was fine today but god damn their defense was bad. Giannis looks kinda gassed too I thought which could be why the offense appears to be stuttering a bit.

The 2nd round of the draft is more or less of a crapshoot and Norman Powell had been doo doo for the majority of the last few years.

He's getting trapped pretty hard but he's also missing a ton of shots that he was making in the OKC series so idk.

Seems like he struggles hard against teams with lots of motion in their offense like Denver and GSW as they're working him hard defensively or something.

Eh I don't think adding a couple of useful role players would put the Jazz on the Bucks level unless Mitchell can come close to outputting Giannis' impact on a game, but I get your point.

Don't know how hot of a take this is but they were pretty good from a talent perspective last year... not elite but pretty good. People seem to forget or downplay the Bucks taking the Celtics to 7 games last year and that Celtics team was leagues ahead of the Celtics this year offensively, and...

I don't trust Lowry at all in the playoffs and he's only getting older at this stage, think it would be a bad move to trade assets for him.

Speaking of Conley though I haven't done the cap calculations yet but does anyone know if there's a world where the Jazz could sign Tobias outright and then trade for Conley?

Meh, I don't think Conley's slightly better regular season over Jrue is enough to outweigh Conley's health/contract situation and Jrue being a much more versatile matchup tool when it comes to playoff time on the defensive end. We saw him literally take Lillard out of a series on the way to...

It was my pipe dream lol

I'm not trying to argue for one point or the other here, I'm just curious to know if the crowd who want Donovan at full time PG are the same - or close to the same - crowd who would prefer Tobias over Kemba.

In Kanter's defense the game plan was to drop on the PnRs, and Stotts defended it in his press conference. Him getting torched by Curry on PnRs all night isn't surprising. Unfortunately I don't really know what other option Stotts has because Kanter sure as hell can't come out and hedge with...
