He's fit perfectly so far. Backup center is the next thing. When is Bogut done down under for the season?

Tim Bontemps: Reggie Bullock checks in for the first time this season for the Knicks, after missing the first two-and-a-half months with a back issue. Bullock could be a really interesting trade candidate as a 3-and-D wing on a reasonable deal over the next month for contenders seeking depth.

[QUOTE]Is finding a new backup center a high priority?
[/QUOTE]
should be the highest priority
[QUOTE]Aside from hoping Davis improves his play, the only other option is Tony Bradley, who has seen the most meaningful minutes of his career thanks to Davis’ recent incompetence. But Bradley currently seems only capable of a few minutes per stint before Quin Snyder begins anxiously counting the seconds before he can comfortably cut short Rudy Gobert’s resting spells on the bench.
[/QUOTE]
Morgan needs a look
[QUOTE]Frankly speaking, the Jazz don’t have any valuable players they’re willing to move. Emmanuel Mudiay, Bradley and Davis — the most expendable players at the moment — will hardly net much in return without sending compensation. The necessity to send second round picks to get Jordan Clarkson proves that point. If Utah wants better players than they have, they’ll have to pay for them in assets.
[/QUOTE]
then that's what you do
[QUOTE]Should Joe Ingles move back to the bench when Mike Conley comes back?
[/QUOTE]
I think they have to try it again and hope having better players around him will help. Bradley can run the pick and roll and Clarkson has been great
[QUOTE]An interesting tidbit, however, is that among Utah’s 20 lineups that have seen more than 15 minutes (and that aren’t impossible because certain players have been traded), the two best are lineups where Mitchell and Conley do not share the floor.
[/QUOTE]
COTY has to figure a way to make it work
[QUOTE]A little over 21 of Conley’s 29.4 minutes per game come with Mitchell on the court. It might behoove Snyder to cut that down by a few minutes and stagger his two backcourt scorers. The two are similar in some ways in terms of style, so, reaching into the realms of speculation, it’s possible the two are redundant and not quite complimentary. At least not yet.
[/QUOTE]
One on court at all times makes sense but now you have Clarkson not to mention Mudiay as well
[QUOTE]I think the second biggest surprise was how suddenly the Jazz parted with Jeff Green, and then replaced him with a much smaller player in Jayvon Tucker—when it is apparent that the Jazz are already undersized in the front court (other than Rudy Gobert, Ed Davis and Tony Bradley).
Having serious championship aspirations for the current season has apparently made Jazz management less patient than in previous seasons, as is also evidenced by the trade of Dante Exum (whom the Jazz has patiently waited on for over 5 years) for Jordan Clarkson.
The actions Jazz management has already taken in the early portion of the trade season creates speculation as to what additional actions Jazz management might take between now and the trade deadline—and whether any player (other than Donovan and Rudy) is safe from a trade (even prized new additions Mike Conley and Ed Davis), if the Jazz believe a trade would help the team in its urgent quest to be a legitimate contender.
