Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

Ron Mexico said:
I agree that DL has some tough decisions to make.

If you dont make a trade you better be positive Favors will re-sign and that you are comfortable matching whatever Hood gets. Otherwise thats a bad move.

Maybe JJ will want to stick around now that we look to be making a playoff run?

Way better to let them walk than take on players or salary you dont want. Based upon the ESPN article there may not be near as much money chasing players this year as there has been in the past.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he’d still rather have a shot with a team that’s more firmly entrenched in the playoffs instea of on the fringes.

I really like Joe and I'm grateful for his contributions last year, but I don't think his heart is really in it with this team this year. I'd rather Jerebco get his minutes. Hopefully Utah can snag a 2nd round pick for him, but if not I'm 100% down with buying him out.

I mean, we have a shooting 4, just not a starting one. There doesnt appear to be any starting caliber shooting 4's are available at an affordable price. Might as well just stick with the starting quality 4 we have, even if he isnt a great shooter (though he was raining it tonight).

Plus plans have changed. Rubio is the 3rd member of the big 3. Just nail the drafts and we golden.

Need to after a 3 who can play the 4. Someone like Gallanari would be perfect if he wasn't injured 60% of the time.
 
Does anyone have any interest in Melo?

If he could let go of his ego he would be the perfect stretch 4 in todays NBA and would extend his career by 5 or 6 yrs.

He doesnt really fit what OKC are doing either, kinda the odd man out.

JJ and Burks for Melo? (I wouldnt give up anything we need and OKC may want to move off that $27Mil next year)

Burks would work well with Rus and PG while JJ would do the same thing for them as he does for us, when the starters rest, feed the ball to JJ on a switch. Either he gets a bucket in the lane or he hits an open shooter...

Kevin O’Connor: One of the guys I heard (the Jazz) are targeting and who is very available is Avery Bradley from the Clippers. I’ve heard Bradley has drawn interest from Oklahoma City and from Utah. So it’ll be interesting if Utah will be able to add another dynamic defender in Bradley who can also hit spot-up threes.

Kevin O’Connor: Utah is in an interesting spot because I’ve heard for them, really, everyone is available aside from Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell. But that doesn’t mean they’re trying to just sell off everything and tank. I think they’re just trying to reshuffle and get a mix together that they think positions themselves better this season and moving forward.

• If Utah gets a first-rounder of any sort for either Favors or Hood without also absorbing blah contracts, it will be a victory.

Hood is solid. Everyone in the league needs wings. The Jazz know him best, and have clear concerns about his night-to-night availability. Sometimes a team-player relationship runs its course.

But I would be in no hurry to give up on a rangy wing with proven 3-point range and off-the-bounce chops. That is especially true in the current cap environment, outlined expertly Monday morning by ESPN's Brian Windhorst and Bobby Marks.

Only a half-dozen or so teams have real room this summer. A few of those -- Atlanta, Phoenix, probably Chicago -- seem disinclined to spend it on veterans. Who is backing up the Isaiah Thomas Memorial Brinks Truck for Hood? The answer might be: nobody.

What would we give up for Bradley, and would he come off the bench?

On the second paragraph, it sounds like it will be hard to make a trade as they are trying to improve, we need to be ready for the jazz not to make a trade at the deadline.
