I know you didnt include him, but how ironic would it be if the Jazz traded Donovan Mitchell? Never have I seen a draftee so excited about living in Utah.

I would be sad to see Exum go but if he is neccasary to get us an all-star under contract I would be okay with the deal. Although I would rather trade picks or other players over Exum, like Hood.

I'd die a little. I'm really looking forward to watching that kid.

Is there any evidence that your dude is reliable?
Who told you DL isnt a believer? You have an inside source? All of the rumors and direct statements about him are very high. Locke is convinced that Diaw, Hood and Favors are our next in line trade assets in that order of both value in a trade and likely to be traded.

Blake back to Clips for 5/$173
Exact contract Hayward could sign here.
Hopefully he set the precedent a bit.

Pretty high level exec with the Jazz. You can see his picture in the programs.
As far as reliable, I'd say he is close enough to DL's office to over hear things, not close enough to know things.
The two biggest things he has said since December:
The Jazz do not think Exum will ever make it mentally and Hayward was pissed Hill sat out so much.

What's are his thoughts on Hayward staying or going?
Assuming we only have our MLE in FA what position are we targeting? Assuming no trade happens and we retain Hayward and Ingles who do you guys want to target?
If that is our roster still I like Favors but dont trust his health. I would go after a PF.
My list is:
Patrick Patterson (price might be too high with his advanced stats running up)
Nikola Mirotic (I assume MLE would be matched)
Ersan Illyasova (most likely)

I really, really don't think that the Jazz are going to trade Exum. He's still the player on the Jazz, next to Rudy, with the biggest upside and the highest potential ceiling and, from the sound of things, it's beginning to click for him. In fact, I think that the acquisition of Rubio is actually a direct complement to Exum - they know that if Dante shows major progress this year, it's going to lift his price next year in free agency. It appears that the Jazz are trying to do whatever they can to get under the cap this year so that they can go into luxury cap territory next year without penalty - assuming Hayward re-signs.
If Hayward bolts, the Jazz frankly need both Exum and Hood to continue development in order to make up for the loss - their development, along with Rudy and Mitchell, will be the only thing that has the potential to spare the team from entering the 8th-seed treadmill game.
The one to watch, in my opinion, is Favors. Hard for me to imagine that they'd bring in Rubio and the issue that both he and Dante (for now) have with floor-spacing and match them with Favors in the front court. Going to be a fascinating couple of days.
