Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

[LoPo]

We have so many threads going that I wanted to start one to centralize trade deadline discussion.

http://hoopshype.com/storyline/rodney-hood-trade/

“Listen, my understanding of Utah’s situation is that they’re as much of an open shop as there is in the league right now. Whether it’s Derrick Favors or Rodney Hood or even Ricky Rubio, they want to turn the page. They want to maximize Rudy Gobert’s prime. … Utah is going to look at everything right now. They obviously don’t feel like they have their core and they’re trying to figure things out. But yeah, I think Rodney gets moved. I think Derrick will draw decent interest. And the Rubio one, I didn’t know what to make of it. But if they are truly open to parting ways with Ricky, I think he’d have a good market too.”

Surprised he didn't mention Burks.

Surprised he didn't mention Burks.

Can't remember who it was but they talked about teams wanting compensation for taking Burks. He portrayed it as Burks being the only one with negative value.

I'd just keep Burks then. Only one more season.

 

[LoPo]

Yeah, if we have to lose an asset to dump Burks, just keep him. I do feel like there are lateral trades that get Burks moved, but are they worth it?

Like Burks to NOLA for Asik and a 2nd. Or Burks for some role player from Portland that helps them save a little money.

Any lateral move that ties up more of Utah's money by either duration or amount is not worth it in a Burks trade.

After reading the article and the signs the last week, I think the targets are Mirotic and Fournier. If we are truly "maximizing Gobert's prime", then those guys are the attainable pieces that create the roster:
PG Exum
SG Mitchell
SF Fournier
PF Mirotic
C Gobert
6th Man Jingles
2018 Utah 1st
O'Neal

The rest is TBD...

I'd like the jazz to make bigger moves than mirotic and fournier. Go get one of those guys that are rumored to be unhappy with their team like kawhi, Otto Porter, etc.

Jazz need a real third guy. Fournier would be nice, but as an addition to someone special.

I came to post the same quote LoPo started this thread with. What Lopo missed was the title: FIRE SALE IN UTAH.

I think Mirotic is big. Fournier I think is a smaller move. I don’t think Kawhi is realistic and I love Otto Porter but he’s paid quite a bit more than Fournier so that’d be a tough one.

So there are too many trade threads going so we create a new one? Didn't Shad start a trade deadline thread yesterday?

Would you be willing to part with this year's draft pick to do it? I don't think I am unless it were Kawhi, who the Jazz aren't getting. There's some real top heavy talent in this draft that isn't out of the question yet.
