Report: Jazz ready, willing, able to deal

[The Midnight]

The Utah Jazz have opened the doors and are open for business, according to a report.

Sam Amico of USA Today joined Alex Kennedy on the HoopsHype Podcast and said the Jazz are more-than-willing trade partners for needs in search of possible upgrades.

“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,” Amick said. “Whether it’s Derrick Favors or Rodney Hood or even RickyRubio, they want to turn the page. They want to maximize Rudy Gobert’s prime.”

Amick said he expects Hood is the most likely to be dealt, while Favors will be the subject of calls from other teams and Rubio would be a good trade chip, as well.

“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,” Amick said. “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.”

The NBA trade deadline is Feb. 8.

Sounds like DL is really going to gut the team.

Sorta strange where it said "They want to turn the page. They want to maximize Rudy Gobert’s prime.” Does that mean they are not looking for draft picks, but rather, productive players in return?

To me, turning the page means you're rebuilding from the draft, not reloading with players & contracts.

 

[Coach Ellis]

The Jazz are broken. They need a roster that fits together better and a plan for moving forward around Gobert/Mitchell.

I think that they should pivot to building around Gobert and focus on adding guys who are on manageable contracts that are between Rudy and Donovan age wise. Hard reboot and build around their strengths.

I will believe it when I see it.

This is so sick... This **** is still all collateral damage from putting all their eggs in Haywards basket...

If Hood gets ran out of town like this, I don't like it..

I'm not gonna bump the infamous Harrison Barnes thread but I really do want to.. I'm solutions based tho as always, no need to cry over spilled milk..

Yeah, we're still reeling from Hayward walking out that's for sure. I'm really interested to see what DL could do to rebuild from this though. I know he won't give up.

how was the pitfall not avoided in the first place tho... I can;t believe that with the stakes as high as they are they'd gamble like that...

You have some of the worst takes on Jazzfanz. Its makes it more entertaining that you are confident about it. Stick to your repeating scouting reports from the internet of HS kids, its your strength.

Remember that one time you told us all that it was a good thing Kings passed on Mitchell so they could get a better draft pick this year? Oh man, so good. Still makes me laugh. So does your determination to think we should have offered a max to Barnes who is an average player with a huge contract.

If we had picked up Barnes we would not have made the run we did last year into the playoffs that was great to watch and then we would suck this year and have his borderline un-tradeable contract clogging our team up.

You cant troll Jazz fans for having a down team. We have Mitchell, we will be okay.

BTW, who is "your team" that you picked this year?
