    We Shouldn't Trade Bojan

    I've been on the trade Bojan train for a while. After the Rudy trade, I think it's smarter to keep Bojan unless we get a fantastic return for him. My 5 reasons why: #1 - We added perimeter defending in Beverley, Vanderbilt and Beasley. We don't have to trade Bojan to address perimeter defending...

    Potential "Buy Low" Candidates

    Below is a list of my "buy low" type guys for this offseason. Guys like Kuzma and Horford were last year, Wiggins the year before. Etc. These are some trade targets, not 2022 free agents. - Eric Gordon: he's getting old (33), but he can still play pretty well on both ends. - Joe Harris: he's...

    Atlanta Rudy Trade

    Just Jazz Bear with me for a minute.... Rudy for Collins, Okongwu, Jalen Johnson, #16 and a 2023 1st from Charlotte (Atlanta has it and it's lottery protected) Atlanta does the trade because the only win now piece they lose is Collins who is already on his way out. They don't give up any 1st...

    2 Major Roster Moves We Need

    Easy really: #1 - Pick Clarkson or Conley. Trade the other. Whoever we pick, bring that player off the bench. #2 - Maximize Rudy's value by trading him now. This isn't a blame trade. This is simply a - it hasn't worked and we don't have assets to make the necessary improvements so trade him...

    I Don't Blame The Players

    I've slept on it. It is incredibly unfair to blame a couple players or one trade. @Handlogten's Heros has fully documented the incredibly stupid run of FO moves the last few years. Add those moves to a coaching staff that lacks any flexibility in scheme or rotations. Getting outcoached...

    Trade Rudy to Atl, Tor or Cha

    I hate making this thread before the playoffs is over, but the whole vibe right now is moving on. And changes are coming. We know that. These three teams make the most sense for Rudy based off what he does, what they need and what they have. For Atlanta, I would want John Collins and something...

    NBA 75th Anniversary Team

    That was a pretty neat presentation last night, but I feel like some of the selections were pretty bogus. https://www.nba.com/news/nba-75th-anniversary-team-announced I don't believe that Damian Lillard is one of the best players from the last 75 years. Kind of shocked he's on the team if...

    Bring Joe and Ricky Back

    The tweet below has hit pretty hard, and all this talk of Joe being done is depressing. I say screw it, and trade Clarkson and Dok for Ricky Rubio and draft compensation. Let Ricky and Joe support each other through rehab to come back together next year. Bring them back on team friendly deals...

    Make Our Own "Big 3" Now

    If we stay with what we have, and we disappoint this postseason, we might be facing a teardown. There was talk after last postseason that if this season fails that we will have a major shakeup. We have never had a "big 3" in Utah, and there are two great "Third Option" or "#3" guys available...

    Trade for Jerami Grant

    Hey fellas. Been a while. I really like our current team which is why I haven't proposed any deals this year, but I do think we will eventually meet our demise to a "superstar" team whenever we face them. Could be either LA, Brooklyn or maybe even Denver again. Our lack of perimeter defense is...

    January 2021 State of the Jazz Address

    Here's how I see our roster: Rudy - foundational piece who we are built around right now Pro's - establishes our defensive identity and sets great screens Con's - good opponents can scheme him out Don - foundational piece and one for the long term Pro's - he's a fantastic offensive player...

    LoPo Plan 11/19/20 10:54 CST

    Trade Rudy for John Collins, Kevin Huerter, Capella and future 1st round picks Sign Favors for some of the MLE We groomed Rudy. Now, we groom Udoka to play the Rudy role. He won't be as good, but we dont need to rely on an old school C as much anyway. Favors and Capella handle starting C until...

    He's an unrestricted free agent this summer. Just based off system and fit, how would he do with us?

    Re-Tool Younger Trade Idea

    My first big trade idea thread of the off-season. Constructive criticism desired. (The amount in parenthesis is the amount of salary added or saved not counting draft pick wages) New York gets Conley #23 and draft considerations from Charlotte (NY adds $9.4 in salaries) Charlotte gets Gobert...
