But Dwight is an excellent backup and gives them the defense they want from the backup big which lol Holmes is awful at. At least Dwight fouls while playing D, Holmes is like one step above Jah
Not anymore. He's good at defense now.

He’s balling out super hard. I’m curious about what happens with the Warriors next year, because they’ve got MVP level Steph and Klay coming back. How do you think they’ll try to upgrade?

Wiggins seems like he's turned a corner, at least looking at his stats. Can they even realistically upgrade him short of a Beal deal?

Wiggins is playing better, he always looked better when he's a lower usage guy. I'm not sure its enough to make him more valuable for another team though.

Top 3 protected. I think right now it's like a 70% chance of conveying.

I mean The First Place Utah Jazz are clearly in a pretty good spot as it is but yeah one more big wing defender who can at least kinda shoot to take those Niang and Oni minutes is really the only thing they're missing

:haibrower:

The Jazz heaved 48 3 point attempts last night compared to 29 by the Celtics. They literally shot their way out of the game on volume alone.

They have almost no path to improving the team. They have 3 real options:

1) use picks + oubre's salary to trade for someone this year before the deadline
2) trade Wiggins for value (lol)
3) Trade Weisman + salary for vets

2 and 3 are pretty long shots, but 1 probably can happen.

I'm with you one 1 being the most likely.

Along with trading Oubre their best bet for improving next season:

1a) Develop Wiseman
1b) Pray that Klay comes back as more than a shell of his former self.

Durant and Wall should give them some hope for what Klay might be playing like by next season's play offs.

TS% is a really important stat and being 5% higher than his last year in MN is a pretty big deal.

There's a big value difference between someone shooting under 50% TS and 55+. It's not that he's a different player entirely (which is why I said the value for other teams is a lot more limited) but it's a big step up.

drat Magic era Rashard would be really really good on that Jazz team. At their pace he'd be going for 20+ on 40% from 3 and he was a legit 6'10" who could bully a lot of modern pfs.
