@pmmbasketball Right. Really hard to predict

[Matt Miller @Matt9204]

@RIGGED_NBA11 The Lakers have to do all their signings and trades in the right order to make it all work with their cap space. They are likely the ones slowing it down. It gives the Jazz a chance to expand the trade too if they can find someone willing.

[Matt Miller @Matt9204]

@TuskedUp It might have to do with the Lakers trying to sign Kuminga. With how good DP will be right now they should probably just roll out this roster. JJJ starting at center isn’t ideal, but allows for both Ace and DP to start. There aren’t enough shots to go around if they add a guy

[Matt Miller @Matt9204]

@grrr22 I loved WK, but he was not going to be their defensive anchor. That’s JJJ. Walker was the defensive anchor for 2 years on the 30th ranked defense. I think he’ll figure it out, but he’s not there yet

[Matt Miller @Matt9204]

@HoboJ_ They weren’t trying to maximize wins this year even with WK. They want to maximize wins in a few years for the DP and Ace teams. I wanted WK back, but signing him for over $30 M would have been a mistake. They don’t need another center right now. The Hayes signing sucks though

[Matt Miller @Matt9204]

@hallsrh I think the issue is matching salaries to get him. DP is the 3rd highest paid player on the team. We’d have to trade all the young guys plus Nurk for it to work

[Matt Miller @Matt9204]

@EdwardRoon9180 @ArtTakesNote @DLocke09 The reporting from reputable sources was that the Jazz didn’t get the same offer that the Clippers got, and no one knew the pick would be at 5 when the trade was made. The Clippers got 2 firsts and filler, the Jazz got 2 firsts and 2 swaps. Pretty similar return

[Matt Miller @Matt9204]

@BensHoops He loves to finish with his left, but shoots right

[Matt Miller @Matt9204]

@getsit Good thing the Jazz traded it to Memphis

[Matt Miller @Matt9204]

@JPadmore92 I wanted him back, but that $30+ million price would have forced the Jazz to trade him in a couple years anyway. I’m super surprised they got those picks out of this

[Matt Miller @Matt9204]

@VidaVivaDiva I just jammed a paper clip into the aux and it worked fine

[Matt Miller @Matt9204]

@danclayt0n @zarinf 3

[Matt Miller @Matt9204]

@ArtTakesNote Wouldn’t be surprised if AJ was 3

[Matt Miller @Matt9204]

@ZP12Hoops @cyguy_9 Boozer would probably be the backup 5 and 4 next year. Lauri would probably be the first to go in the next year or two, especially with Ace already looking like his heir apparent

[Matt Miller @Matt9204]

@JeffBiesinger I’d be happy with any of the 3. Boozer is probably my favorite, but there isn’t much separation.

[Matt Miller @Matt9204]

@CJRealHoops2 99% of the time you here rumors about what the Jazz are going to do it ends up being nothing. The trades are always a surprise

[Matt Miller @Matt9204]

@jpottingaround If Ainge is tipping his hand that he wants AJ, then he doesn’t want AJ. Ainge wouldn’t make it that easy

[Matt Miller @Matt9204]

@MikeBajda @jimcat40 @DraftExpress Bam jumped 3” higher, and Boozer beat him on the lane agility, 11.06 to 11.98

[Matt Miller @Matt9204]

@yanksduece @ZP12Hoops Boozer measured at a 35” vert. He can almost hit his head on the rim
