2020 NBA trade deadline discussion
- Thread starter infection
- Start date
I don't see the Jazz having any interest in either of those guy's. I don't think either one would be a good fit on this team.
LMA is soft as whip cream. I was honestly shocked when SA went after him. He pulled all that crap in Portland the way Dwight did in Orlando. Then when he got to SA, he didn’t like it and called up Dame asking him to help get him traded back.
Not the kind of dude we need.
Do we think that it's possible that we just trade Ed Davis for like a future second round pick? I'm not sure what team would be down to do that. The Jazz might be able to sell it as a situation where Davis just doesn't fit this particular team. We'd open a roster spot for a buyout target.
I'm not saying the Jazz would do it, but LMA is a 7-ft big who can pick and pop, shoot 3s, grab 10 rebs, and block 1.5 shots. It's the one thing the Jazz don't have.

The cost to get him and all his baggage is extraordinary. Like, not even close to happening.

What about Marvin Williams? He can stretch the floor.

Seems to slow footed to be played with Gobert. Eventually are defensive rotations would get beat and lead to a lot of open corner 3s.
He makes 15 million this year. We aren't trading Clarkson or Ingles for him lol.

i'm fine with trading Ed for one additional shooter. no backup center in this league can do what Rudy's done for us. not even close. put Ed on most of the teams in this league he'd still be a solid backup. but because we don't have any legit PF, our center is basically being asked to do the job of two. that's why i firmly believe this is Rudy's best season yet even though his defensive stats have gone down. we honestly need to give up defense entirely whenever rudy goes out and try to outscore our opponents with our elite 3 point shooting and ball movement. if lakers wanna size us up with AD, lebron and Mcgee/Dwight, good luck trading 2's for 3's.

Niang has been awesome. He was not awesome. Not sure what’s controversial about that.

His struggles were vast exaggerated, though.
Exaggerated. His +/- was (and remains) brutal. Should not be guarding 3s which he was doing, also.

we don't worry about defense when niang's on the floor. there's no point. just trading buckets.
Y'all acted like Niang wasnt a threat from 3 tho. It was just a wild opinion to have.
