Trade deadline discussion

[Jingled]

Andy Larsen say's besides Ingles contract, the guy the Jazz are most interested in moving is Clarkson. He says the Jazz realize that he's hurting the team right now and is a negative on both offense and defense, and they have had conversations about him with teams. He hasn't heard anything about Royce or Bogey being moved but doesn't think anyone is really completely off limits at the moment besides Don and Rudy.

If simply the presence of Ainge makes people panic, then there were already issues there that he was brought in to resolve.

Nah, it just points to the idea that Ainge and the incumbent crew may have very ideas about how to form/run a team/organization. It isn't (necessarily) an indictment one way or the other as to who is right or wrong.

You're acting like Ainge is the Bobs and he's going to downsize no matter what. I think
Ainge can see which players have upper level management written all over them.

That's fine. But the stuff about internal instability because of suspicions that Ainge wants to make major changes and the part about the Jazz being a borderline soap opera came from national NBA reporter Marc Stein and not David Smith.

I think its a confluence of things...

- star players that occasionally snipe at each other.
- extreme win now pressure.
- a couple huge collapses in the playoffs.
- a new owner that seems to be pretty involved.
- A coach that got a team president canned and then overruled the interim GM... then you bring in a big name and seemingly give him the keys. Guessing Quin and Ainge are not like besties.
- the team under performs and has a big injury.
- a big deadline approaching with all this instability.

I do think bringing in Ainge during the season was a mistake. He may not even change anything. Just put him on the payroll secretly as a consultant and wait. Or hire him last summer. I don't think he honestly opens anything up for us and having a guy with big ideas for change would naturally freak players out... on the other hand if that is why they are sucking then they were going to suck anyway because they are weak AF.

I heard that too... its kind of comforting.

Absolutely. I doubt anything materializes, but It's nice to know they can see that he's been a problem this season and are at least trying to move him.

I wish my dream off-season would have come to fruition of Quin hiring a fatherly-figure former head coach to be his lead assistant. I feel like we’d be in a lot better situation right now.

This Jazz-Celtics Trade Involves Marcus Smart To Utah

The Celtics and Jazz are both struggling this season, so could they come together to make a trade ahead of the NBA trade deadline?

These pie in the sky trades annoy me, but I like this one.

Smart and a 1st for Clarkson and Butler

I have a feeling Josh Richardson is the guy we're going to end up with.

Maybe… not sure it would have stopped him from meddling or lead him to make changes…

It’s okay though… we are six months away from Ryan hiring his roommate for Helaman Halls. He dominated their fantasy football league 2 years in a row. He’s just got an eye for this kind of thing.

Maybe… I wonder what we give… if it’s just a straight JC for Richardson swap sure… jingles… maybe not great financial planning. He’s the most meh realistic option so it’s probably what we get.
