Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

Oddly enough, I think Fournier is worse for us than Biyombo. For one, Fournier has one more year of $17 million than Biyombo. Secondly, Fournier is a starter and he would be a 6th man here behind Mitchell and Ingles. And lastly, Biyombo is excellent insurance in case Gobert gets hurt or in playoff foul trouble. I would hate to pay the guy, but it's not like he's Noah and worthless money.

This is really bad. A useful wing player paid appropriately is a worse fit than a guy who is terrible at a position we have completely filled making absurd money.
 
The Denver rumor of a first for taking Faried would interest me... also sounds like Hood has a lot of suitors right now... someone will pony up a pick.

Of course I would rather have Fournier than Biyombo. However, Orlando probably puts positive value to Fournier and negative value to Biyombo as they should. BUT, BUT the goal here isn't Biyombo or Fournier. It's Gordon. If we want Gordon, you give up less by taking Biyombo than you do if you take Fournier.

I hope you guys can understand this logic because it shouldn't be that hard to grasp.

Yeah, I won't Mr. Know-it-all. Financially, Fournier is WORSE FOR US THAN BIYOMBO. Suck it up and read it because it's true.

GTFO bro... you might actually be able to you know trade someone like Evan and get out of his last year while collecting an asset... meanwhile you got production out of him. You don’t have to keep the contract forever and he is a much better player at a position of scarcity.
 
I wouldn't trade Hood for a late first. That's what infection said, teams are seriously overvaluing firstrounders all of a sudden. For something like a late lottery, sure, that's different, but there's no way I'm giving up Hood for a 25th-> pick.

I agree. I think Burks to Denver in some kind of big trade package has some value for both sides. If we get Faried and/or Chandler back, Favors to Cleveland will be the last second deal once Cleveland strikes out on Jordan - https://www.slcdunk.com/2018/2/7/16...ick-favors-cleveland-cavaliers-cavs-utah-jazz
 
The trade fever has gotten to Lopo so badly that he is convincing himself Biyombo is a better contract to have than Evan Fournier.

They didn't say "a first." They said "a pick." In no universe does Denver trade us a first round pick this year. Their fans would burn down the building.

Agreed. Regardless if the market is genuinely hot for Hood or not, DL will do right by Utah.
