If you had too attach Diallo or Jackson in a trade who would it be?

I’ll start off by saying Diallo. Touch choice but since I haven’t seen Jackson play yet, I wanna give him a shot. Feel like Diallo is still a project and can’t see him being a part of this team moving forward.

Jackson is more NBA ready once he gets his foot right, but big men do take longer to develop.
Jackson has a better chance and more opportunities with this team so I'd trade Diallo before Jackson.

Trade Diallo in a heartbeat
Why? We have 2 of arguably the best bigs in the league and theoretically only need to fill 20 minutes of playing time otherwise, they can do that by committee (Cunningham, Hill, etc). Compared to guard where we are severely lacking outside of Jrue and Rondo offensively.
Its a guard dominant league and you need elite or good guards to content or be halfway decent and Jackson fits that billing.
I can find an athletic freak like Diallo easily, but he doesn't look like he's going to be the defensive stalwart you need as a backup.

Diallo just impresses me with his ability to rim run. If the dude could play defense he’d be logging minutes. Just wish his summer league success translated to real games but just hasn’t happened yet.
Both Diallo and Jackson were top 10 recruits coming out of high school.
My problem with Jackson is he’s not a true point guard and Diallo isn’t a true PF.

Assuming that our system remains in place- Jackson might excel here.
Also - I would like to see what he is capable of.
Because of his lack of PT - he will have little to no value now...
Just checked how many picks have 76ers,Hawks and Suns.
We should trade with them...

It’s pretty obvious Diallo will need real game time to get better and he just won’t get that here. I’m surprised they haven’t sent him to the GLeague any this year. I’m to the point where if dumping Ajinca is all he could get you I’d take it. I’d love to get a mid 2nd back as change but if I didn’t I’d still make that trade.

Moore deserves some credit here. He’s been a surprise this year on that end.
I still don’t know what Diallo does well. He’s a poor man’s Tyrus Thomas, who at least had enough size and raw athleticism to be useful.
I’d ship him out just to dump contracts too. I just don’t know what a team would see in him to do that.

Yeah, I'm still not seeing anything in Diallo's game that really translates. He is so bad defensively and potential only lasts so long. He is like a homeless man's Aminu.

I meant it more than just shooting. Moore can't really run an offense, shoots pretty damn well though so I can always appreciate that.

He’s taking 45% of his shots within ten feet (career high), converting them ~64% (career high), and is shooting 52.5% on the year (career high). He’s more than just a shooter.

Both.. 2nds are a crap shoot and neither has shown anything special yet. Jackson is a combo guard and we already have two of those locked down for this season and next (Holiday and Moore)..
