Jazz interested in bringing Neto over now!

As GSW have proven that small ball is absolutely the independent variable in the championship formula, I hear we're looking to go small:

Cotton
Neto
Burke
Hanlan
Exum
 
Nice. I like it.

It definitely signals that Trey might be on his way out.

But what about Exum? Maybe we might deal him. If it brings in a star I don't see why not. I don't like him as much as others.
 
I think they are doing their due diligence and keeping in contact with him, getting to know how his progress has been, etc. He still has 2 more years on his contract and we have 4 PGs on the rosters. I think he won't be coming any time soon... he also didn't have a great season in Spain, so I don't know if he'll be ready for the league if he came... I don't even know if he will ever be ready.

Utah isn't giving up on Exum after one year. After the way the team played in the second half of the season, there's no way they should trade away any core pieces.

What if we're in a package to get Butler or Leonard? Or even someone like Damian Lillard?

I'm not saying trade him nothing.
 
If y'all recall, Jody Gennessy did report a rumor that the Jazz were looking to trade Burke in a draft day trade.

Maybe his mommy and daddy saw that rumor and got butthurt, so they told DL they want a trade.

I think a trade to Cleveland for Dellavedova would be tops... But then of course the Jazz would have no choice but to get Bogut in free agency so we could have an Aussie party up in dis biooooootch!!! Oh aaaaaand they would need to bring Motum back for the full on Aussie lineup!

Dellavedova, Exum, Ingles, Motum, Bogut

Yep, he was 0-2 on his draft day rumors. That track record is taking a beating. Time for a new "source."

He reported that they were "looking to trade" Trey, not that they were near a deal. Does anyone doubt DL is still looking to trade Trey for a decent price? I'd say it's 1 and 1 on the rumors, although the one about Trey is not really a rumor. I think that has been known since the day Trey lost his starting job to Dante.
 
To me, this indicates that the Jazz are doing their due diligence in assessing where Neto stands and whether he's coming over this year or not, which is important to do at least once annually -- regardless of what his answer is. Especially given the Tomic situation. Whether he's willing to come over or not, the Jazz have to take stock of where their actual roster stands.

If a Burke trade is in the works, they can be even more confident about their position is at the position going forward if Neto commits. If he doesn't, maybe they will consider cutting bait.

Either way, DL does have some flexibility to make some trades / sign some free agents, even more so if Pleiss and Neto make themselves available to play in the NBA. I'll be more interested to see what happens with the Pleiss talks.
