They will be phenomenal inside, but will have no perimeter defense.
I just don't think it will work.

Kat can play on the perimiter offensively, but not really defensively. And we know how bad Gobert is on perimiter D.

Just keep swinging the ball around and you will get good shots.

Gobert cannot score inside, and KAT doesn't want to, so I don't see them punishing people in the paint either.

It sounds like the Jazz are essentially getting 5 first round picks.

I agree, The price for KD went up.:bang:
The Suns have the maximum number of picks (including swaps) allowed. This sounds more like Utah trying to match that. Again, even after the players Utah is getting? KD is not winning a title there. I seriously doubt he would entertain playing there.

I've want Raul Neto as a depth point guard for years. I guess it will never happen.

Jesus. Gobert is not worth anything close to that.

How many is it going to take for KD?

Maybe we should take all the draft picks from the Jazz for Ayton and move a different direction. That would be a curve ball.

They don't have cap space, and James Jones hates the draft, so that's not happening.

I mean seriously, if I am running an NBA franchise I would consider Gobert a negative value.

Dude is USELESS in the playoffs, and is way overpaid. How in the hell did that turn into 5 first rounders?

The draft picks can be more or less currency to get a player a team does want. Unwanted players can be sent to a third team.

It's going to be interesting to see what happens. I hope I'm not on twitter all weekend.

Well like I said, I would be ok with Bogdanovich and Clarkson alone for a side deal with Utah if it came to that. Not sure how we would still be able to get KD though.

I'm not really interested in Jazz players although I used to be a fan of Clarkson but not so much anymore.

I honestly don't know how you can't like Bogdanovich.

To me he might be the best PF in the league - at least offensively. Dude is clutch.

The Suns need more athleticism. It's not that I don't like him.

Well, I will admit his rebounding and athleticism does leave a bit to be desired, but he would be a huge upgrade to Crowder.

It wouldn't take a lot. He is like a better shooting Jae Crowder. Also he is 33.

Bogdanovich is the best PF in the league? I have to be missing something here…

Sure, he's the best PF in the league who currently plays for Utah but that's about it. He's not even a top 5 PF in the West.
