Exum. You know it makes sense.

Hayward will evolve into a modern 4 - he rebounds well enough. Trade: Favors + Exum + Niang/Neto = Haywards salary (close enough) Might not even need to add draft compensation as they conceivably would love the bigger cap space in 2020. They would love Favors no? Do it....

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25723296/sixers-fit-great-that-matter Zach Lowe mentioned a bunch of possible trades for Simmons :) I have wondered a little over the past year whether Simmons and Mitchell switching teams would make either team better. (He did mention a direct swap) Simmons...

why does Quin have a knack for putting players in positions that accentuate their weaknesses, or at least don't maximise their strengths? Rubio = seemingly is open half the night (surely this is something opposing coaches are happy with right?) Favors = Is often standing in the corner...

Boring thread - but with a few days between Jazz games I have been listening more carefully to some NBA podcasts and have become more sensitive than ever to the brutal dismissal of NBA calibre players abilities and ceilings. On these types of forums I expect people to have harsh things to say...

... in terms of drafting. So he scores big with Gobert, Mitchell. He looks to have chosen correctly in 2014 - Hood is a rotational player/starter and Exum is probably the only guy with all-star potential from his draft outside the top 4 picks (I mean I like Dinwiddie as much as the next guy...

Reasons to vote YES... Hood demonstrating he is a high volume streaky wing (no real progression to his game) Rubio sucking (at least within this system) Neto injury The tiny (but positive) sample size of DMX in summer league and preseason Jazz being buried below .500 Jazz being basically .500...

Mitchell will win ROY in a cakewalk unless he slows down dramatically. You all know I am as big a Aussie homer than there is, but Simmons can't compete with what Mitch is doing atm. The 76ers look lost when Embiid isn't out there, and Simmons is generally too passive (due to his shooting...

I don't know about you guys, but this season has had a plethora of unpredictable story lines that have confused the hell out of me as to what the FO will do (or even should do) moving forward. So many questions existed prior to the season e.g. how quickly will DM prosper, will Exum justify a...

Damn. Truly wish Jazz could have given something else up. Was he given up because the FO thought he was a bust or did Denver really want him?? Not suggesting they did the wrong thing to get DM... just curious as to what the reasons were for giving Lyles specifically up. This thread is based...

In part because of the leash that Quin has given a #13 draft pick versus their #5 pick. Watching DM throw up a thousand shots a game and get stuffed repeatedly at the rim and jack up 3s is great for the kid. It is teaching him to be aggressive, but not much else. It certainly is teaching him to...

I am wondering if the added defensive prowess of Gobert is worth more to the Jazz than a #1 scoring option? I have been pondering this since Hayward left. Favors is a better center than PF in the evolved game. How productive could he be if he was the full time center? Would his potential as an...

if you were to redraft the 16-17 classes combined, would you choose DM in your top 3? Simmons Tatum Mitchell Fultz Brown Kuzma Brogdon Ingram Josh Jackson Markkanen ------------------------------------------------ Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot Isaac (haven't watched a single Magic...

Porzingis Gobert Embiid KAT Davis It feels like Embiid. In fact, if he is healthy, I feel like he could win it next year. It feels like only Gobert and he help their teams win (out of that list).

Jazz can't play Rubio, JJ and other vets max minutes with the goal of sneaking into the playoffs. Have to play Favors, Hood, Exum, DM and Burks a stack and find out who can join Gobert going forward. We don't need to have 30 mins of Ingles, 36 Rubio, 18 Sefolosha, 15 Jerebko, 8 Neto. Last...

This guy grates.. He gets cut when anyone challenges him over the player development at the Jazz. He literally spits venom. Based on his last podcast he obviously thinks Dante's minutes are going to be limited come mid season, refuses to acknowledge that Burks is a basketball player and thinks...

http://hoopshype.com/rumor/1121026/ Sounds like he might stay after all. If he had the stomach to leave the Jazz, I don't think he would be showing doubts. He might feel there are too many reasons to stay! That is my hot take on an otherwise meaningless piece of 'news'.

It is inconceivable to me how the Jazz FO have let them get themselves into this predicament where it feels like their whole game plan was to resign Hay. The best player on the Jazz team by FARRRRRRRRR is Gobert. It's not even close. Based on RPM, Gobert is already a top 8 player. They...

So glad to hear it. I hope this sends a message to the Jazz. Quit drooling over Mack. Think twice before signing Hill to mega bucks long term deal. And stop with this bs of playing Dante off the ball. You drafted the kid at 5. The kid has something almost no one on the roster has. An elite...

Assuming that players are 'ready to go' - what is the most likely breakdown. My big questions are: 1) Does Q pull the trigger and start Ingles? 2) Is Neto the preferred backup (and if he's injured??) 3) Does Exum see the court? Will he get minutes alongside Hill? 4) Will Favors play starters...
