Nikola Mirotic

[Coach Ellis]

Favors/Rubio/Udoh/Bradley for Mirotic/Lopez/Grant

I don’t think they have any interests in taking back Rubio. I still think that JJ and assets would be the best deal for everyone.

Jazz aren't trading Bradley as filler for Mirotic. DL loves him.

Bradley is the easiest guy to give up in this kind of deal. Especially if he's the 1st the Bulls don't get.

I agree with this. He’s an easy asset to move if the Jazz are serious about adding Mirotic. Swap Niko for JJ and this team gets pretty damn interesting.

Mirotic is the kind of player that burns us when we play him, and when we put a jersey on him years later he's a snickers bar.

I read an article today that said Mirotic is interested in coming to play for Snyder because he likes the way he has developed offensive players.

JJ isn't getting it done. Has to be Favors. Favors and Bradley is a good deal for both sides.

No. Mirotic is an excellent player. Not an all star, but a great compliment to Gobert and he could flourish in our system. A more athletic Memo and better playmaker, but probably not as good a shooter (though we need more career minutes to confirm this.)

The Exum trade talk is silly.


The Exum haters should take a look at how Orlando has been operating. Traded away Olidipo 2 years too soon and also didn't pick up the option on Hezonja, who now looks like he might be a decent player. Too many Exum naysayers focusing too much on stats instead of watching his development. I'd rather see the jazz gamble on keeping Exum for 4 more years than lowball him to the point he just takes the QO. That would be a mistake.

Exum has never sniffed Oladipo's production from any year.

He could become a player!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Could! But can we just look at the metrics and believe them? Also, you understand there are consequences to spending eight figures on a meh basketball player, right?

No way this deal happens without a pick.

What do you prefer a stretch 4 in the draft or mirotic?

i think it's completely worth the risk given the lack of other talent we have available, and what he looked like before TJ jumped on his head. If he'd shown 4 full years of the same meh that would be different.

btw there's no way JJ is getting this deal done, why on earth would they want him.

This is off topic but is Fournier on the block? If you can land Mirotic without Favors then I’d say sending out Favors and Hood for Fournier is a good deal.

the way Orlando are going you'd have to assume probably only Gordon would be off limits.

Fournier is under control for 3 more years at 17 (which is HUGELY valuable). No way does he get dealt for an RFA and a pure FA. If Bird Rights on either Favors or Hood were really valuable, it might be different. But the Magic have much more value with Fournier on a reasonable contract for 3 years than the RFA/Bird Right on both Hood and Favors to sign them longterm.
