Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

Sigh. Another "rumored trade" which is not a rumor but just something a writer suggested.

I wish we had a thread for just legit rumors, not fanboys and wannabes just posting their **** and then it getting picked up by on-line sports rags and passed off as true. No more Fake News!

That would be nice but those days are gone. There is no such thing as a valid report anymore unless it's a "done deal." All it takes is a feeling, a rumor, a fart in the wind, and it becomes a report. I try not to base any trade idea on a fan boy article (JNotes, etc.), but it becomes difficult. Usually, I base a trade on a source from a writer who is quoting an inside source, the coach, GM, etc. But all of that is subjective too.

When I was in high school there were a couple times I'd fax KFAN (back when very few people had fax machines) anonymous rumors and they talked about them on air. Was kind of funny. Obviously having a fax machine back then gave some credibility, apparently, even if anonymous.

That's hilarious.
 
Dont want Avery Bradley hanging out with DM. Would much rather acquire Fournier, who will be cheaper long term, and fits better when considering things holistically.
 
I'm just ready for the trade deadline to get here. It feels like we have been discussing different trade scenarios for much longer than we actually have been.

The Jazz's 1st rounder is off-limits for Mirotic. So, I do, and the Jazz do too. Trading 1sts for anything but higher picks or stars should be against the rules for this organization after Hill and Rubio.

He's talking about Cleveland's first rounder.
