Jazz acquire NAW and Juancho Hernangomez for Ingles, Hughes, and two 2nd round picks.

[Jingled]

If we don't trade JC then this is an awful trade. JC and NAW will be disastrous together off the bench.

I don't hate the deal as NAW could become serviceable, Ingles isn't going anywhere (still think he resigns here cheap) and Hughes hasn't proven anything either - what I do hate is that our FO the past several years under DL has essentially handcuffed us into these dead money corners and losing out on all of our future draft capital as filler. Most second rounders don't work out, but it's still alarming to see our warchest so vacant for many years to come.

NAW could be a plus defender in the league, but he's never going to be even a decent three point shooter IMO. Anything we get from him will be as a slasher.

Our length is still an issue - unless JC is getting exchanged for a wing, we are an extremely small team and one that could be infuriating in terms of bench-chucking to watch.

Are you just too emotional that ingles is gone?

If we trade Ingles and not make a substantial addition, I'll get emotional.

LMFAO. Just being 100% honest. If you put two guys that are that inefficient on the court together the results will be a disaster.

Can I propose a trade idea, or will that get me blasted?

If we don’t trade JC, we should have just taken Justise instead of NAW. At least we know Justise can defend.

Is it about the urgency of dumping Gobert?

If yes, yes. If no, probably not.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Wait until the follow up trade is to move Hernangomez or NAW into OKC's space and we make that pick unprotected that we owe them....


CASH CONSIDERATIONS

Nah. I've gotten stoned enough today. Lol.

Lucky!

Lol, I meant with figurative stones, but that sounds nice too

If they can pull off something like this then this trade will make sense.

 

[KqWIN]

Mini poll - Who do you guys like for this team as it currently stands: NAW or Justise Winslow?

Pretty much the same contract.

Think of the luxury tax savings Scrooge McSmith can add to his money bin to play in.

I will full-on **** my nuts and gift-wrap them for Lord Dan if that’s the case.

Let me break this down..

Ryan saved money.

The last time Ainge did draft prep he likely loved him some NAW... so he was shocked he was available.

Also, Ryan saved money.
