DM+niang=5 mil in total. give me 2-3 "good players" in that value.
No Portland is not a legit team. Their defense is doo doo. Dame is just carrying them on his back rn.
There have to be better options than Josh Jackson. He isn't ready yet, and he's been up and down in the G-league.

apparently grizz think he is. he just played 28 min against the pels last night, that is more minutes than any of the players off of their bench.
and jackson is our best option because:
1, we don't have any assets for better players. Ed Davis would probably get it done right now but there is a window that we can't miss. if jackson keep balling and end up staying in grizz's rotation, then he will no longer be available.
2, jackson involves zero risk. his contract expires in the summer so if we don't like what we see, just let him go and sign someone else with the cap space we have created by getting rid of Ed's contract
3, jackson fits the profile. some people mentioned kuzma but he really doesn't help our D in anyway that jackson could. jackson, once getting his head straight, could become the two way wing that our current roster desperately need.

Check out these highlights. Ed Davis and Georges Niang are just in over their heads trying to defend. Clarkson too.
Can we extend Donovan at the max (like Simmons) before the trade? I don't know. Throw in Ed+Niang+Bradley+NWG+Clarkson/Ingles. Maybe we could package Donovan and Conley. I just have no faith in this team's ability to win a championship unless we slaughter a sacred cow. Also, while I'm giving unpopular opinions, I think the DWill-Boozer-Okur era Jazz would beat this team.

our last season's team would beat this team
Yeah, Ed Davis, Georges Niang and Jordan Clarkson were a disaster defensively. You can have one player on the floor who is an iffy defender. You can't have three. That's suicide.
It's one thing to give up open looks, but they were giving up plays to guys like Nas Little, Gary Trent and Carmelo.

can't help when 5 out of our current 9 rotation players are iffy defenders.

in a 7 game series, i'd bet the money on crowder/rubio having more good shooting nights than niang/bojan/ed/JC/conley's good defending nights. i'd count on good defense over good shooting anyday anytime
