Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

Thabo is done for the year so he doesn't help us at all this year.

Herzonja is no gamble at all really. We get to test drive him the rest of this season and he helps us more than Thabo does. If Herzonja fits, we keep him for wing depth. If he doesn't, we lose him for a future 2nd.

To argue this idea is arguing just to argue.

You horribly underrate Thabo, bad! I want him for next year.

This team will be IMO much better, Rubio with a full year in this system, Mitchell could be an allstar stud next year O'Neale will be improved, and hopefully a healthy Gobert all year long. Thabo fits this team like White on rice, and fits the defensive identity. I'd rather have that for this team next year

I think we can be good next year, and I think Thabo will be a key part, so it's not like you're giving up nothing.

READ THE POST. GOOD LORD GUYS:

"If we trade Thabo and Orlando declines his option for next year, we can re-sign him in the offseason."

Too much risk that you lose the guy you already have. Denver was rumored to want OG Anunoby when they traded with the Jazz. Utah got a star, and OG got picked one spot ahead of them. You only make trades where you know the outcome is in your favor.
 
Herzonja isn't loved in Orlando. They are going to let him walk anyway. It's a rental for a 2nd round pick. They basically get a second round pick for letting a guy expire they don't plan to bring back.

As far as my reqction to a trade like that. Shrug. Sounds expensive when we could just sign him in 4 months.

Too much risk? Herzonja is an unrestricted free agent.

Thabo is more valuable to Utah than Hezonja.

Trading him is a bad idea. Jazz need another Defensive wing to help match up with GSW, Houston or OKC.

You want to send Jerebko to Orlando to rent Hezonja. . . I’m okay with that. But keep Thabo unless you absolutely have to shed salary.
 
Please follow the logic:

#1 we trade Hood for a first. This is based on reports.

#2 we have a depth issue while we make this playoff run

#3 we trade a future 2nd (we have 2 extras) and a hurt player for a guy with great upside but no long term contract

We get him now to see if he fits. It would be ignorant to sign him to some $5-10 million a year deal this summer when he might not fit.

Side Note - Orlando fans hate him because they see him as a bust. Which he has been. However, our fan base wouldn't have unrealistic expectations on the guy so bad that we turn on him. That's the difference of being drafted in the lottery vs being obtained for a 2nd.

Just stop. Your reasoning is asinine
