Zach Lowe: Paul George would love to play with Gordon Hayward

Utah gets another star (certainly by Jazz standards) who is locked in for three more years, a compliment for Gobert and (Hayward if stays. Incentivizes Hayward to stay, but also provides insurance that we will be competitive if he leaves.

Cleveland gets not only George but Favors as well to retool for another run next year. They don't care that they're both FAs at the end of the year - they are thinking year to year window. Favors can't shoot but gives them another excellent option at PF/C - TT was not enough alone for the Cavs this year.

Indiana is mostly going for the bottom out here, but gets as good of a prospect as they are likely to get for a one year rental. We throw in a first round as well, maybe the OKC one. Frye is thrown in as an expiring contract for salary matching purposes.

I have been the biggest "Love to Utah" guy around here.

But if can get PG over Love and say no? Lol.

In today's NBA, you want a Gobert, a PG and three 6ft7 to 6ft9 guys who can hit threes and defend.

PG is perfect in Utah. We'd be the second best team in the NBA, hands down.

Get PG and make him your #1 and All NBA player and win 60 games. Then, make him walk away from a shot at a title, more money and 90 mins from LA.

I'd bet he wouldn't leave.

You HAVE to take that bet.

Lakers may still suck too... I'd rather push all in and rebuild in earnest in a year than sit on our hands and end up being mediocre.

Hay, PG, Gobert, Hill... that is legit.

If we can unload Burks to Indiana in the process, sure.

If we could clear Burks, Diaw, Lyles and Hood plus two picks (one this year and OKC next year) for George then being able to maintain Favors for a year would be pretty big.

 

[mellow]

wow, who wouldn't want to paly with Hayward?

 

[mdalby]

Dennis Lindsey's time to shine.
I see both K.Love and PG13 as get-able targets.

I think we could get PG13 but I don't see a way we could get Love. I think we have to unload Burks contract to give us the flexibility we need with signing Hayward and FA PGs Like Teo.

From Jazz: Favors, Burks, Future 1st rounders... is not going to get Love.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I think I would rather have Love than PG. The security of 3 years is just preferable to me than swinging for the fences in a single year. I think the most likely scenario is the Jazz lose to the GSW in 6 in the conference finals then PG leaves. Hayward most likely just signed a 1+1 knowing of PG's desire to join the Lakers. Upon George leaving Hayward is faced with the harsh reality the Jazz lost to the GSW even with Paul George, now that George has left the situation in Utah seems bleak.

 

[Shad]

Wait, people on here are willing to trade favors/hood/picks for a 1 year rental on PG? LOL

So you'd take one year of Paul George over 3 years of Kevin Love?

Yes, everyday and twice on Sunday.

Go all in for a year and pray for a little luck.
