Utah Jazz Determined To Continue Building Roster Around Lauri Markkanen

Utah Jazz Determined To Continue Building Roster Around Lauri Markkanen

So the Jazz are allegedly continuing to build around Mister yes the man the Pretty Boy himself lry marinin as origin Ali says marinin is more than likely going to get a contract re renegotiated and extended by Utah as he’s their new face of the franchise it makes sense and with Lowry

What you have right there is a guy who especially with what they talked about the other with earlier today how the parody across the league you’re not going to have these threee headed teams anymore you’re going to have two-headed teams and Lowry’s good enough to be a

Two- eded monster and at this point what you have with Lowry is a guy who can can average 30 points a game a guy who’s going to be on contract for the four seable future he’s 7 foot tall he can he can shoot threes at a high clip or get

To the rim in just two steps he has the ability to shoot from three but has taken that step to be an Allstar all NBA player he’s basically the athletic modern day the more athletic modern day Durk the confidence is through the roof is consistent he has fed and he’s buried

Early criticism of rebounding and defending and become better on those things and he can play the five effectively in spurts but he’s best paired with a rim protector like Walker Kessler and he’s going to finish his career as a multi-time All-Star maybe an all NBA player so it makes sense that

You want to build through this guy because all you need to put his defense around him Mark Stein of the Stein line confirmed what we knew the Utah Jazz are looking to trade John Collins yes so sadly John Collins didn’t work out out this season and you know that was for

One could say a multitude of reasons I just think he just wasn’t a fit and they were hoping that he would but the cool thing about John Collins this year is he’s playing 28 minutes a night which is actually the lowest amount of minutes he’s played since his rookie season and

He’s putting up 13.7 points eight rebounds he’s having one of the best rebounding years of his year season of his career as well as shooting the the three-point shot incredibly well he’s right now shooting 47.6% from the field which is the you know 60th best in the

League while he is also shooting from three Al right now he is a guy who is letting it loose at 37% with four attempts a night which is a career high on how many three-pointers he’s shooting and at this point what what are you getting with John Collins if people

Are asking like what what is John Collins get you at this point in his career who I’m a big fan of Sean Collins he is this guy who is freakishly athletic for his size he’s 6’1 with a 7 foot wingspan he’s a freakish athletic guy who can play power forward or Center he

Can finish through his opponents get Above the Rim he also possesses great skill level like he has the perfect style of play when he tries to be a great fit at the power forward position for today’s modern NBA he can space the floor with his three-point shot he can

Attack the rim and draw a foul he’s defensively he should be a really good player but his defensive impact isn’t anywhere near where it should be his effort on the defensive end wains he just doesn’t move his feet well on defense sometimes he can show bad body

Language and not show good effort when the team isn’t doing well but for me I mean I’ve always been a John Collins fan I’ve always been team Johnny boy but I don’t know I’m I’m a real understander that John Collins and his contract aren’t EAS in move so here I’ve said

This before ran Holmes Maxi kba and a second round pick for John Collins to Dallas Mavericks that’s really not that bad of a move now another team is I think the Indiana Pacers the Indiana Pacers though if they were to do a deal like that I think the the thing that

Will hold them back is financially I don’t know if they have the the filler to take on that deal let me just look at it so they are $36 million under the tax so my understanding is they could probably just eat the money so I take that back

So if the Utah JZ were so let’s send John Collins over that’s $25 million the Pacers would be taking and the Pacers would look at this and be like okay let’s get rid of a contract we don’t want and what is a contract that they don’t want I think Jordan

Wara would be someone they would move and I know he’s hurt but I feel like he’s the next guy that they would move is Jaylen Smith and they would give up at most a second round pick I can’t see them giving up anything more than so right here

Okay so the Pacers if they did Jordan War Jaylen Smith in a second round pick problem is Pacers would have to cut have to cut more money and I don’t they would have to give like TJ McConnell and I don’t know if that’s even worth it at

That point like the only other way I see that’s the problem is like they legitimately would have to give up TJ McConnell and I just don’t see that being worth it if you have to give up TJ McConnell so monetarily wise for this deal to work it would have to be Jordan

War Jaylen Smith TJ McConnell and can it just be Jordan war and TJ McConnell does that get the deal done no you’d have to keep Jaylen Smith in the deal so obviously at that point if you’re the the Pacers for example who we know in the past they’ve had interest in in a

Deal like this I just I’m I’m just very much surprised by what it is so this would have to be a three-player deal and then you would have to hope that someone who’s like not making any money like a Luca shamanic could just be a trade filler so

The easiest way for a team like the Pacers to do this deal John Collins and Luca shamanic for TJ mcconell Jaylen Smith and Jordan war and I just don’t think it’s worth it in my opinion but John Collins real quick I just wanted to say I just think it’s an interesting

Situation due to the fact that John Collins was a Reclamation project and I knew that it was a it was a big one and what we talked about earlier was the Utah Jazz are open to trading John Collins sources told Andy Larson of the Sal L Tribune the quote is the

26-year-old big man has had the lowest on court off Court splits of any rotational player on the Utah Jazz the team has been frustrated with his slow uptakes on learning the Jazz system on both ends of the floor according to Larson he’s missed his thir third

Straight game he is averaging 14 1 12 points and 8.6 rebounds he is shooting 38% from three 48% from the field he’s like look it’s it’s just frustrating because he’s providing some floor spacing and some defending but it’s he it’s just like besides the solid shooting rebounding there isn’t there

His iffy Performance Plus $77 million he’s over he’s Ed over the next three years is going to make it difficult for anyone who’s going to want to take the s year bet but I just find it weird that he’s a guy who and I know I know what

You think of John Collins but wor three years removed from him being a 17 points per game score like really two years removed from him being 16 17 points four years removed in the 20192 season where he averaged 21.6 10 rebounds like almost two blocks and was like a like a

Borderline Allstar so my thought is what’s going on like you said is like the year before he was still a 19 and a half Point per game scorer the year after that they added denil ginari and bogdon and he was still an 18 points per game guy it’s just I mean one person

Brought this up in my comment section that he hasn’t been I think in 2020 was the year he got caught with Peds like taking Peds and everything’s been down and I I don’t know how much correlation I just looked at John like let let you know I’m a fanboy of John

Collins and I always thought he was a guy who was just after you know him having his Fall From Grace I was like he’s just a coach away he’s a coach away from figuring it out and this is because like he has the freak athleticism you

Want from a guy who can play the four or the five he can finish through opponents and Above the Rim he’s got great skill he’s like the perfect style of play for a power forward in today’s game you can space the floor from three attack the rim and defensively yeah his impact is

Nowhere near where it should be but the effort on that end isn’t there but if it was like he could be good at defense but it just shows bad body language and doesn’t give the best effort so I so the I think the whole thing to wrap

It up is like I don’t even know like if they’re going to trade John Collins I think they just give him a second round pick and say good luck good luck thanks for taking him off our hands it didn’t work for us so hope you enjoy him cheers I

Don’t know it’s not a good situation in my opinion and I feel bad for the guy and I feel bad yeah
