The only scenario where he moves is if he doesn't look like a max player, but we max him. But even in that scenario the Lakers might just give him the money Reaves. has a $21M cap hold. I'd put the likelihood of us signing him between 1-2%.
Agreed. I can't think of a specific hypothetical move at deadline, but let's just say there's an opportunity to trade for a player who we love and can be a big piece for the long term future. There will be a lot of teams trying to tank, so maybe you can get a good deal. I'd say that's a move...
It would feel more painful if we lost the 9th pick instead of the 14th pick. However, it is still better if we finish 9th than 14th. Higher chance at top 4, and at the end of the day we still have no pick if we don't win the lotto.
January is too soon, but if it's trade deadline and we're .500...
I expected his offense to be good and he’s exceeded those expectations. I think there are some unsustainable things happening at the rim, but his jump shot will also rebound. He’s making good progress. Hoping the FTr remains high.
Defensively he’s playing much harder. I don’t believe he has...
All you can do is try and cut the fat. If it's a player who is not here for the long haul and not a prospect, trade/bench them. This way, if you do lose out on your picks it's at least at the hand of your future roster. Guys like Nurk and Svi are providing so much value compared to a tank...
I think the Jazz will have an opportunity to get out of the Svi business once Collier comes back. I'd start Walt in for Svi, then Collier plays the backup PG minutes. If there are injuries to any of the guards, Cody can take the time. It's more subtle than randomly inserting Cody.
We're gonna...
I still worry about his ability to produce efficient offense. Playing more off the ball is better than what he did in college, but he still needs to be a very elite shooter on this shot diet to be efficient. Ace doesn't get very many easy ones. Looked great in preseason when he was shooting at...
A lot of ego for guys in his position, I’d say it’s kind of typical. Probably felt a lot better to have a mic drop moment than some non-answer.
Truthfully, I think the whole situation is kind of screwed because of the two half tank years. We really have only tanked for one year, but it feels...
We need Cody to start instead of Svi....but that's a hard ask when we're winning and AA had to get his mic drop moment in. I bet AA felt awesome in that moment though, worth losing a FRP.
It’s crazy how close it was. I remember running the numbers and figuring out that if Dok had not taken 120% of the rookie scale we could have ducked it. I was probably off by a bit, but it gives context to just how close it was. Had either Clarkson or Favors taken a tiny discount (we probs were...
Every time I think about losing the pick I'm reminded that we gave Favors and Clarkson just enough money to make it a rounding error that put us over the tax. The gold trips Ryan Smith paid for with this pick are well worth it!
I feel like all of the top 7-8 guys this year have been good or shown somethings besides Ace. Certainly exceeding my expectations, but I became pessimistic about this class.
