Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

I’m assuming it would be Gordon & Fournier for Hood, cheaper contracts (some combination of Burks, Favors, JJ, etc.) and draft pick(s).

Yes please
 
Kevin O'Connor on The Ringer NBA Podcast said he has predicted trades without sources just based on teams's interest in players in previous free agencies. For example, he predicted the Isaiah Thomas to Boston trade because he knew Boston called Isaiah on July 1st but he had already committed to Phoenix.

So, who has Utah coveted in free agency in the recent past? Gallinari (but that salary/injury history...), Otto Porter supposedly, any others you guys can recall?

Jared Dudley, Teodosic, Solomon Hill come to mind. Usually pretty close to the vest in calls they make though.
 


Clips hanging onto Lou (assuming that's what happens) probably heats up Rodney's market.

I don't think it really does. People want Lou Will because he is a vet with playoff experience having a career year. They want him as, in most likelihood, as a pure rental. With Hood you probably arent expecting a great return on investment right away, it's a long-term play. I really don't think the Hood market and the Lou Will market had all that much overlap. But maybe.
