Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

I'd do Favors for Shumpert and the Cleveland 1st. If Hood was part of the deal I would want the Brooklyn pick as now the Cavs shed Shumpert's salary and could play Hood at SG and Favors at C. Though I think the Cavs are going to do everything they can do to move J.R. Smith and TT. Though doing either will definitely cost them. They're lucky to have that Brooklyn pick and I'll be surprised if they don't trade it in a salary dump.

Cavs are intent on keeping Brooklyn's pick unless they are getting a star in return. That team could entirely blow up next year.

I'm trying to think of how we could do a trade with them with them that's good for both teams that would match up. Argh.
 
The Niko trade thread on Pelicans RealGM has one reply.
 
So not realistic but if we could get Porter and Mirotic without giving up picks that would be amazing. In my dreams trade !

I think New Orleans wants the option to keep Niko IF Cousins signs somewhere else. Niko doesn't want to be in limbo, so he wants his extension now. The Pelicans want a playoff run this year AND an expiring.

If it is a pure salary dump, I am not sure why the Jazz do not try to get in on the trade. Unless, of course, the Pelicans don't want to assist giving Niko to the Jazz.

Am I missing something here?
 
I would love to have Kevin Love here as well, but prefer Mirotic even though love is better inside with his back to the basket, and he's a better rebounder when motivated. Kinda Boozerish; doesn't challenge shots, so gets lots of rebounds. Love would cost more, is older, but has given up alot since his Minnesota days trying to fit in with that disaster that is the Cavs. Love is a historically bad defender. Still think there's a great player there that has been reduced to a three point shooter.

Nope. New Orleans wants the best possible expiring they can get for this season. And they have targeted Mirotic.
