2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

The most depressing part of this thread, a player like Satoransky being considered a key target for next season.
I know Sato quite well from the Spanish league. There he was a good player but,of course the level is not the same that in NBA. Sato is physical for the spanish league not nba. Of course is tall for a pg and can jump ( reminds me physically to hezonja) ,but is not so fast( comparing to nba average players). His defense is average if not less, he can pass but is not a very good passer, his dribling is average and for a good defender is not so difficult to steal him the ball ( specially cose his high bouncing) . He's not a shooter,sometimes can shoot sometimes not. My opinion, he could be a good back up pg but if you (the Jazzfan )are looking for a future and good or great pg, Sato is not your man

His game has developed significantly since the Spanish league though. He is now shooting 40% from three two seasons in a row and has a 3.45 A/T ratio(top 20 in the league), both indicating the opposite of what you said. And we don't need a players who's so good at dribbling that he is gonna take the ball out of Mitchell's hand anyways. He only needs to be "good enough" at handling the ball when Ingles/Mitchell take a break. And when both do come back onto the court, he is more than capable of standing in the court and knocking down those corner threes when he is open. I've watched enough of Sato’s game this season to realize that he is everything that we are looking for in a PG.

In regards to his age, don't forget both Goran Dragic and Kyle Lowry weren't much of stars until they turned 28.

o.k
 
One day i read in this forum that Hezonja was the real deal, the future 3 or 4 for the Jazz. Now Satoransky, with his limited minutes ,is one of the best 3 point shooters in the league and is all the Jazz need as PG to be a contender...OMG

Has he not played limited min, do you think we've got a chance to get him to leave Washington for Utah? I mean, serious question here. I know it's always gonna be hit or miss when it comes to players like Hezonja or Satoransky. But if it wasn't so difficult for us to land established stars, do you think we're even gonna have this conversation in the first place? Of course I want Kawhi, Klay, KD in the summer if you ask me. But we gotta be realistic here.

I understand you've got your doubts on Sato but so are people here asking "Booz who?" or "Memo who?" when we signed them both 15 years ago. They may have played limited minutes, may have put up empty stats on a bad team, but have we not taken a shot on both these guys, we wouldn't have made a such deep playoff run 10 yr ago.
 
Btw how many times can a player gets traded within a season before the trade deadline? I've noticed Alec Burks got traded twice already and Nick Stauskas as well? Stauskas! Yes, Stauskas... *Imitating Kings owner*
 
Jabari nails the 3 for his first shot. Bobby Portis hitting his first six shots.

I maintain the Wizards Robbed Chicago. Chicago dumber than rocks. This is going to turn out real bad for Chicago.

I'm glad Rubio stays, he's a jazzman. Now let's hope for a nice run to finish the season. Home court advantage is at reach baby, we're standing 6th in the West now.
For how long, the chances of Ricky returning next season is very low, why would you.
Memphis wanted the back up and not you and I believe Exum will start when playoffs start, as Rubio has been very average

Portis can ball. I bet WAS do all they can to keep him in the summer
