Why Jazz: Simply they aren’t good. Won’t be good yet. Ainge is playing the long game. The OKC Thunder game. So buckle up and trust the process. Maybe it’s a season too early for Markkanen but his value will be diminished in a years time too. I think they trade Clarkson too.
Why Pacers: I think it’s obvious lol. They need a PF and they don’t love Toppin or Smith just look at their minutes. Maybe you want more defense I say double down on offense could easily be the best offense in the league this year. Markkanen is still a better defender and rebounder than what they are doing now. Also opens up the floor for Walker minutes.
