They might do what we did after our 4 game streak last season. They proved they can win with current talent and now it’s time to shut down Lauri, Conley, Olynyk, Sexton, and Clarkson so they can land a too young talent. Let Beasley be the star of the team. Should have the desired result.
They'll shut down Lauri and Sexton but I think they'll trade the other three for young talent and draft picks that won't get them too many wins this season.
Simons/Nurk for Conley/Olynyk and one of their picks anyone? Conley would be best backup PG in league and Olynyk would be an incredible get at the pivot.
If Chauncey is on board with starting Shae when that trade is able to be made (January 15th) and if Nurk and Ant are still showing what they're showing now... then I'm totally down. I don't think Olynyk is specifically better for Chauncey's defense than Nurk but he certainly stretches the floor on offense and doesn't have a mental block on dunking like our guy Nurk does. So as long as we got a first from them that we could possibly trade after the draft along with Olynyk, Conley and future picks of ours to upgrade our post positions or if we win a title leave it the same... then I'm totally down with that trade.
Jazz are on 3 game losing streak
You think Danny would consider it?
I think Danny would be very reticent to give up the pick and Ant is just as redundant with Sexton and/or Clarkson as he is currently with Dame but Ant is a young talented player. I honestly think the Jazz would have to make more moves before this trade for it to make sense or have a good idea of moves they could make after.
Making $24m this year, he BETTER be the best backup PG in the league, wtf?
You'd be getting Sharpe at the starting shooting guard essentially in the deal. And I SAID he'd be the best backup PG in the league so why do you say he better be? Simons needs his own team where he can be the starting shooting guard. That won't be in Portland for another 5 or 6 years. Conley would improve our team in the short run to win a title now.
I said he better be because he’s making $24m. Backup PGs shouldn’t be making that much. Just because Ant may not be in Portland for 5 or 6 years, doesn’t mean you trade him for a one year rental that’s shooting worse than he is.
What Conley offers is the maturity that comes with 15 years of NBA experience, a >5:1 A/TO ratio, and a history of solid defense at the PG position. And while he clearly won't be worth 24M going forward, we would be able to re-sign him to continue to backup Dame for a couple more years, and would benefit from that relationship.
Grizzly Adams did have a beard!
He said the Spurs defender raped Curry because of the contact during the shot, equating a foul with sexual assault. Equally egregious, but I think accuracy in reporting is important.
Actually, not a bad corollary. Except that Simons is already starting, and trading him would make room for a potentially superior player in Sharpe.
Thank you.
In person is more professional.
