The super Melo to Portland thread + The Big Blockbuster

I really feel for the Jazz. That shit that happened to them shouldn't be allowed or should be protected, something. They did everything right and were looking good then that shit is just gone after years of building.

 

Ehh, that team was never getting passed the 2nd round anyway. They're still young, and I think Mitchell is gonna be a star. Draft a couple star level players to a young core of Mitchell, Hood, and Gobert and they'll be better than they were before.

 

WE. WANT. HEZONJA.

 

I was guoting the twitter guy.

I haven't been told anything different about Portland being involved

 

That and red zone network

 

My league source close to the Blazes tell me 3:13. Stay tuned !

 

Bluff.

 

you mean your sauce hah

 

David Aldridge: "I’ve learned never to say never, Ryan. It’s hard to see how that deal comes together, though — unless, somehow, the Rockets are willing to do something they currently haven’t been inclined to do, like including a young player like a Clint Capela in any potential deal with the Knicks, or taking Joakim Noah’s contract as well. Could they do so in a (pardon the pun) New York minute? Sure. But as of this writing, they haven’t been, and the Knicks aren’t at all interested in Ryan Anderson, or Maurice Harkless from Portland."

This was from a few days ago.

 

I hope they're not interested in Harkless. We need to get out of all of this IMO.

 

We definitely need to get out of this discussion. Turner and Harkless at SF is good enough.
Now our target should be turning some expiring contracts (Aminu and Davis) into a better 3rd guard to create the best rotation with Dame and CJ for when one of them is on the bench

 

Just to clarify, while Aminu's contract is reasonable, it is not expiring next summer.... He has one more year after this coming season.

 

bump!

Another day of this.

At least ClutchFans is joyful to read at the moment.

 

Turner has spent half his career playing SG. I would argue he is our third guard. He gets Dame and CJ's scraps and then gets some minutes at SF as needed after Harkless goes out. Also, don't discount Layman at SF this year. His defense, ball handling and passing looked good enough to get some time this year. If he can turn that beautiful shot form into results then Harkless might lose his job.

 

It would be nice if y'all posted links.

 

Harkless is about to break out this season.

Mark my words.

 

No, Turner is ideally a SF like Aminu is ideally a PF, we NEED another real guard (preferably a combo guard) to solidify our backcourt rotation.
Regarding Layman, I hope he gets at least some playing time, I think he's earned it

 

I hope he does. His is the only signed jersey I have. The only thing holding him back is just letting his inner tiger loose. You can see in his eyes he has that killer instinct, and he lets in out now and then, but he needs to let that cat loose all the time. He has the body and the shot to really make it, I think he is just too nice and defers too much.
