Game Thread? OKC vs. Utah

So I guess this is rock bottom.

At this point is we got Paul one of two things would happen... he would be good and we’d win some effing games... or he’d fall victim to our pg curse and he’d be done... that isn’t ideal but it’d be one way to be rid of him.

Conley and Exum

Id personally buy those two plane tickets to Oklahoma if that could happen. But why would Oklahoma do that? Why trade for one of the biggest busts in recent nba history and a super overpaid PG who’s clearly over the hill? Paul is old and overpaid, but he’s still hella productive. Conley is a waste imo. Downgrade from Rubio.

I can't do Chrissy. Rather blow up the team.

money... CP has an extra year... NY would likely love to get Conley and send 3 PFs with expiring contracts out... OKC then can bottom out and clear the books a bit. They aren’t interested in sneaking into the playoffs.

Not yet. Rudy or Mitchell can always turn sour and demand a trade. That would force the jazz to sell then for peanuts.

Not really... if we decided to oblige we’d still get a ton for either... both guys are under contract for another year and a half and we have DMs restricted rights... AD obviously got a ton in trade PG too... both guys asked out... we’d do quite well even though it’s suck and be another big step back.
 
I'm listening to our players talk about needing to move the ball more. What I believe they're feeling in their hearts is that they believe they should have the ball more and get to shoot/PnR more. That's the problem.

Just like sharing the ball is contagious, being selfish is contagious. When Mitchell goes hero ball and has 3 zero pass possession in a row, you know Bogey isn't going to pass the ball once he does get it. And you know Ingles is going to drain the entire shot clock trying to set up his PnR while the defense easily denies him the screen.

This is a fantastic thread:

Ex is my favorite player in the NBA ever. I have followed him since he was 13-14 years old. He's struggled to maintain a rotation spot for his entire career. That's what his NBA career is/has been. He is a borderline NBA rotation player with several major injuries piled up. It is what it is.

At this point, Exum's purpose is to give fans something to blame losses on. I wish it were so, but Exum's lack of minutes isn't why we suck. But as long as we don't play him, fans can believe that his absence is why we're losing. The problems for this team start at the top, Exum is an afterthought.
 
The problem the Jazz had tonight was mostly on defense. They were guarding the rim and the 3-pt line and giving up mid-range shots intentionally. The Thunder's guys just hit from mid-range all night. On the other end, the Jazz didn't shoot well.
 
Here’s one problem as I see it if we try/want to go after Morris or the like.

How many shots are there to go around? Seriously.

Morris is a decent player, and the Jazz need players who do not suck. But he's also a ballhog, and we definitely do not need another one of those.
