Why is Tonje a better prospect to play that same role though? Why do we need to open a path for the 53rd pick?

Its a bad look either way. But Sexton has to agree to a buyout but doesnt have to agree to a trade. I dont know if that was ever discussed with him or if they blindsided him with all this... but if they did then I will grade this trade worse. But I wont hate them for wanting to clear his...

Not only that but the reports say that Warriors were actively trying to hunt a pick so they could get him. Lots of teams who liked him a lot.

Nurkic eats almost 0 minutes and 0 touches from Ace, WCJ or any of our other young guys. He is comfortably worse than Kessler, so there is no argument that he should ever get minutes over Walker.

I think this is a good observation, which also explains the missing piece that didnt make sense (the negative value of the deal). It should be 100% obvious the FO wanted to dump him. That deal was so clearly a dump and Charlotte probably did not want him but they didnt want Nurkic either. We...

I think this trade is all about minutes, touches and opening up a rotation spot. Benching Sexton was not an option based on how he has performed, but on the other hand you dont want him eating almost 30 mpg when he obviously isnt building up any trade value and probably isnt a piece for the next...

Best news since the draft.

Its fine AT THIS POINT. I dont think its fine in the long run, but I also dont think we have great passing/playmaking options. Collier is better in that regard but he doesnt have gravity like WCJ. Besides if I'm Jazz I wanna push more passing and playmaking out WCJ, Ace and Lauri as I think...

We have had the need to clean house on the score first one way combo guard side of our roster for a while. No way you deny Sexton his minutes if you keep him. Now we got almost 30 mpg and a starter role to give. I think the key question is why we actually did this deal instead of just cutting...

Im not too worried about high level passers yet. Hardys system emphasizes on the simple read and pass along with ball rotation so WCJ can initiate the offense in that system just fine. I mean JC and Sexton have done it.

Im surprised no one has the correct answer thus far which is obviously: WCJ Ace Lauri Hendricks Kessler Or then its in the eye of the beholder or smth.

I agree 100%. Our lead guard situation has been horrible, and our 2 guards havent exactly been versatile either. THT was probably the most versatile of the bunch we've had but his efficiency and shot selection were just bad.

People are thinking this based on "Ace skill and potential", and forgetting team and context. If you believe Clarkson is suddenly gonna turn into a guy who starts deferring to rookies you arent thinking straight. Cody and Hendricks have gotten like 5-6 FGA without even having to compete for...

It depends on how we handle the roster. I dont see Ace getting to 12+ FGA if Clarkson, Sexton, Keyonte, Collins and Lauri are all here and in the rotation to the extent they have been. Those guys are not deferring to a rookie. Clarkson will still do his eternal search dribbles and shoot them...

Also who the f is that Scoot B Robinson guy? Anyone got a clue how he iw actually connected to Ace or Omar?

Do we actually know Omar is the source of this? Givony and Sidery have been clickbaiting on this subject a lot, but are they somehow connected to Omar? I dont think so. Feels like ESPN buållshit drama. Utah hate is easy to sell and they got their clicks. Omar and GSE wanted Ace to land in a...

Ace has posted Jazz gear pics and shared Jazz hype videos on his IG reel since yesterday.. including a pic of him in a Jazz cap where his caption praises God. This whole drama was always coming as a sideshow if we draft him. Its just the predraft decission to not work out and the preferred...

ESPN keeps referring to Omar as Aces agent. Witlieb said his agent is Daniel Green and they referred to Omar as Aces manager.

That was the interview I referred to and its on YT (Bailey discussion starts around 13:30): View: https://youtu.be/pitH6zyt31o?si=5Z3G86jKesSzQ7Ao

Andrew Witlieb, the President of GSE Worldwide said in an interview yesterday that Ace is thrilled to come to Utah and it was one of the best spots for him basketballwise. GSE Worldwide is the talent agency that Ace and Omar Cooper hired. Witlieb said Ace and Omar primary motivation was to get...
