What would you give up for Kristaps Porzingis? (or take on)

I was just reading an article about teams looking to trade for Kyrie Irving. One of the mentioned destinations is the NY KNicks. The cavs want Porzs and the Knicks want the cavs to also take on the awful contract of Noah.

I was wondering what Jazz Fanz would be will to give up and or take on to get Porzs in a Jazz uni.

Would you give up anyone not named Gobert? Including DM?
Would you be willing to take back Noah and other bad contracts?
Would you be willing to do a minor rebuild and give up a big chunk of the roster to pair POrz and Gobert together?

I was just curious because the Jazz could give up more talent to the Knicks then just giving them Irving. However Boston could still offer the most.

Tell me what you think.

I answered "Yes, but" for the last two, because I think I'd be willing to do one or the other, but not both. Also, it depends how much a "big chunk of the roster" is. If they want Exum, Hood, Ingles, Rubio, and Mitchell, then that's too much. But I'd do a trade involving two of those players, and possibly three.

No idea which of these ideas are possible from a salary cap standpoint, don't have time to look at that right now.
 
Knicks are - perhaps - considering trading Porzingis plus a huge dead contract for s FRANCHISE player. Jazz have no one outside of Gobert that would convince NY to do a trade with the Jazz instead of a deal for Irving.

And if the Irving deal doesn't happen, they'll gladly keep Porzingis (as they should, IMO).

Pretty much anything other than rudy.
I'm probably higher on porz than most though.

Agreed
 
I would give up anyone not named Rudy, and throw in a dead thoroughly-beaten horse.
 
I wouldn't put it past Porz to come to Utah after his contract. He isn't going to sign an extension with the Knicks and why not play Euroball with the all INTL NBA team: The Utah Jazz. He has talked about wanting to play for a team with stability and that fits his style.

I think that DL is going to convince a number of great free agents that Utah is the best destination. Just watch.

PS. The Knicks aren't trading Porzingis UNLESS they get back Kyrie. They didn't trade him before because Phil Jackson was fired before he could. They are keeping him... UNLESS... they get back a key piece like a Kyrie Irving. The Jazz could potentially do a trade around DM, but I bet we overvalue him and the Knicks undervalue him. Management would get shot on time square if they did that. The Jazz wouldn't be the best trade partner other than I could see Porz happy to come here. The Knicks can get more elsewhere, so barring a OKCesque steal such as Favors, Burks, and Tony Bradley for Porz and Noah (ain't happening folks) just wait until he's an restricted FA.
