Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

Tony Jones is railing people on twitter for suggesting any deals involving Asik. For example Jackson, Asik, and an unprotected 1st. He even said that he's very high on Jackson. Do you think he's unaware that Asik is only guaranteed 3mil after next season, or is he hinting that the Jazz want to have a lot of room for the 2018 offseason instead of the 2019 offseason? If we save room for the 2019 offseason, I would take on Asik. Then Asik, Rubio, Burks, and probably Jerebko/Thabo in addition to Hood and Favors would be off the books.
 
Things in Cleveland have become so damn toxic





He's starting and he didn't want to go through the regular starters' presentation where he goes and gets greeted by teammates. Just stayed to the side in the dark.

edit: Boston fans on reddit are saying he was doing the same thing in Boston and that it's just "his thing"

Listen to all of his interview and Kevin Love's interview. The media is blowing this situation up. It really seems like nothing. Just like politics, we've got a lot of fake news in basketball.


Although I really would love to have Kevin Love on our team.

It's a pretty good answer by Thomas. His numbers will improve once he gets back to playing. But all this craziness in Cleveland is fun to watch.
 
Not to be insensitive, but Roberson just had a very serious looking injury and the Thunder were looking to be very aggressive at the trade deadline.



Preliminary reports say ruptured patellar tendon

Unfortunately for them they don't own their pick, it was traded to us originally and we then traded it to Minny for Rubio. Their 2020 is spoken for as well. I see no assets that could get them anything.

OKC are screwed. He had a massive positive impact for them

They’ll have to plug Ferguson into the lineup and hope for the best. Maybe pick up a guy once players get bought out. Won’t be much though. It’ll be interesting to see how the long term effects of injuries like these impact guys like AD and PG13 in terms of staying in NO or OKC long term.

I really think that would go very, very well.

It's a buyer's market. The time to strike might just be now on certain deals. I'm not sure Mirotic has to happen right now, but I think Fournier might.

Hill, Dudley, and/or Skal are maybe in play too?

I don't think Hill is in play. Not if the reports that he burned bridges during negotiations are correct. Skal, perhaps, but Dudley is ancient. Why would Utah want a 32-yr old who has rapidly declined? Doesn't fit with building around Rudy's window.

I think Fournier and Mirotic both happen...unless Utah trades for a different PF and wing. And with those two additions, Utah would likely make the playoffs, which would make trading the 1st less of an issue. Of course, Chicago could pick up Mirotic's option this summer and then trade him. That would allow Utah to see if they can land a player they really want or are willing to trade the rights to the player they pick.

Watching the Orlando game...I could so enjoy some Fourniercation. But damn, Payton's hair. Check the janitor's closet for the handle to that mop.
