Toppin, Barrett, Rose and 2 2023 firsts?

A big three of Randal-Mitchell-Fournier is trash.

Edit: forgot about Brunson...

Arent they getting Brunson, too? He’s probably better than Fournier.

You're right. The glacial pace of this off-season made me forget about him.

Along with Mitchell Robinson at the 5. With Quickley/Reddish/Hartenstein off the bench.

Still likely not a contender, but if they gel, that could be a pretty solid 8-man rotation.

Yeah playoff team but weak defensively.

They really need to add a “Successful, But Stupid” label to the Trade Machine.

Why would you do that to Joe Cronin and his Clippers trade?!?

Am i the only one who likes RJ more than Mitchell?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Should Boston try and get in the mix? Mitchell for Jaylen Brown+?

I'm just assuming that that's what Ainge would insist upon. I think a deal like that would be great for Utah.

Hey now!

Should Boston try and get in the mix? Mitchell for Jaylen Brown+?

Jaylen Brown, +?? If I was Boston I wouldn't give Brown straight up.

Danny loves Jaylen Brown.

 

[RR7]

Danny loves Jaylen Brown.

I'm sure he does. Boston isn't going to add anything to Jaylen Brown to get Mitchell. Ainge would have to be the one adding. And with Smart and now Brogdon added, I don't see it.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

So the jazz got rid of Gobert and now they want to rid themselves of Mitchell?
Seems like they will be wanting picks because this looks to me like a rebuild at this point. Betting they tank this year and try to strike it in the draft.

I love this quote. I wish Ainge were our GM or CEO or whomever made decisions.

"This season wasn't very much fun this year," Jazz CEO Danny Ainge said Saturday. "This draft wasn't fun. Free agency wasn't very much fun. You're over the tax, no draft picks and our team loses in the first round. It wasn't fun for us. We want it to be fun for our fans and our players, but we just haven't had much flexibility to do anything over the last little while."

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Funny how true that is.

 

[STOMP]

Funny how true that is.

I don't see the comparison at all. Mitchell is bigger & much more athletic while CJ is a much better shooter.

Bigger? A bit yes. More athletic? Not so sure?
CJ a better shooter probably.
Is Mitchell less charming and much less likable?
Absolutely!
CJ with better PR and not playing behind Dame will compare pretty well IMO.

Jazz Brass already admitted as much. Said they missed their window. Total rebuild mode.

Blazers thump their chest with stats of x years making playoffs in the last decade.

Hey were not contenders but we can be underdogs proving the national media wrong.

 

[HailBlazers]

I'd take Donavan over CJ twice on Sunday.

I knew this if you are trying to make a point?
He’s a bit bigger yes. His dunks sucked. Not even as good as Ants? Which were mediocre at best.
