Trade proposal thread

The only trade I can see is doing something small to address our weaknesses up front... and I think it would be a temporary fix because I think we want Lyles in that role soon.

The PG problem really is with Neto... think Burke is fine in his role, but when he has a bad night our issues are accentuated by not having another steady hand at the position.

We should have done better in FA. The Exum injury would have been hard to predict, but guys could have been had to address the 3rd big issue... which would then make a Booker trade for PG help something we could handle. I like consistency and developing our guys but we went a bit too conservative imo.
 
What would it take to get Jarrett Jack? He has 6.3 million this year and 6.3 million non guaranteed next year. I think he would be a perfect fill until Dante can come back healthy, just depends on what they would want for him.
 
A guy I'd call about is Tyler Zeller. Boston has too many guys. He is a restricted FA at season's end, but if the price was right I'd bring him in. Would give a second round pick or two... if Tibor has value and they are in I wouldn't hesitate to send him. Wouldn't send a first rounder though... not even the OKC protected one.

only problem is he's not exactly a terrific 3 pt shooter
 
Why even bother contemplating trades? Unless you are new to being a Jazz fan, I think it's pretty obvious that they aren't too keen on making trades mid-season to improve the team.

I'm pretty sure the plan is to finish in the middle of the pack and call it good. Then do it again next year. I don't know how the plan could be perceived as anything else.

Brandon Knight, Devin Booker, Markieff Morris

Knight is clearly the best player in this deal. He's putting up better numbers than Hayward. And I think he would fit along side Exum nicely. Morris gives us a more stretchy 4 that we've been looking for. And I think there's a good chance Booker becomes a better player than Hood. He's shooting over 70% from 3 so far and is the youngest player in the NBA, iirc.

I don't agree with the notion that you have to play small to win a Championship, but I do think the trend we're seeing with 3 point shooting is legit. Last year the 4 teams in the conference finals all ranked in the top 5 in 3 point shooting. The Jazz have a lot of catching up to do in that department, and I think this trade would help get us there.

I'll always be in favor of turning a few pretty good pieces into one really good piece.

Exum
Knight
Hayward
Favors
Gobert

The Jazz would never trade for Morris, I'm sure of this.

1. His numbers suck this year and he has never really had great shooting numbers
2. Character

Knight/Hayward/Favors would be a great offensive trio though. I like Burks a lot this season, but Hood has stunk it up and takes away possessions from Hayward without spreading the floor as much as he should. By trading Burks and Hood, you have a clear 3 man offense, which has negatives and positives. It would suck because our bench would be depleted and all we would have is a disgruntled Morris sulking and sucking (though Booker(s) has come on a bit lately).

Yeah, I get that. He's the least important piece in the trade for us, so idgaf.

Knight just seems like a really good fit to me, and you can't trade for a player like that without giving up something substantial.

Should have drafted Knight and Booker to begin with tbh

Yeah, but I'd rather have Leuer or Teletovic thrown in, not Morris.
