Not saying we should but would you trade Alec Burks for...

This is the type of trade I thought could happen around the deadline. Depending on how much money we have left after presumably resigning Exum and Favors, picking up some expiring deals to get a guy like Hernangomez would be great. Burks would make sense for Denver because I think they're probably losing Barton.

This **** keeps getting dumber and dumber, and dumber and dumber and dumber.
 
let burks expire (along with Thabo, udoh, jerebko, Rubio?) and use the money to get kahwi/klay/jimmy butler.
 
FWIW, I originally was going to say we get the Clips 2019 1st (top 15 protected)...but then for some reason, I thought that we'd be getting too much.

Nah it’d cost at least that. They don’t need to move him yet and are likely not a player in this years FA. They will likely be patient.

Hoping the Wizards implode and decide to offload Otto Porter. It would cost some assets, but he’d fit a team need and the culture.

Look at Wall's contract renegotiation. Holy ****! $46 mill in 2023, 38 next year. That's slightly more than Steph gets in 2022. Washington is chained to Wall, Porter, and Beal. That team is the Yankees or Dodgers but with a true salary cap.

I think we can still move AB and follow this plan, but I don’t think those guys are coming and I don’t think Butler or Kawhi actually hit FA... both can be extended this offseason and I think both will want to be.

I think you are looking at Khris Middleton, Tobias Harris, or similar in FA 2019.

Another thing to watch for is using AB and the expirings in a sign and trade for Jabari or Aaron Gordon. I think it’s very unlikely and we’d likely surrender a first to get it done but I think Parker is out of Milwaukee next year and Gordon could be on the block... I think the Magic have to be nervous about paying him 20M plus per year.
 
Jazz don’t need to sell cap space for assets. I’d prefer that they keep their options for 2019 and 2020 as open as they can. The Jazz need a third star to take the next step forward to contender.

Short contacts with team options would be best (like they did with Thabo, Jerebko and Udoh) or buying guys in a trade with a higher cap # on their expiring contract than the guy they give up would be a close second.

Which is why they may try and move OP for lower cost assets. If they stay status quo Oubre likely is gone and they need to fill out the roster with cheap options. They are in trouble.

Plus, there’s been rumors that they like Oubre better than Porter. I could see them looking to offload Porter’s contract and get some cap space and cheap assets in the process. It would take Utah trading AB, Thabo, Jerebko and Udoh to make the numbers work.

That would leave the Jazz with Gobert, Bradley, Crowder, Porter, Jingles, O’Neale, Mitchell, Rubio (about $95 million) plus the Bird rights for Favors and Exum. Fill the last 5 spots with rookies, cheap vets, G-league guys and the next surprise Euro star. . .

DL would need to believe that Otto Porter takes a big step up under Snyder in this system. If his career arc is like Hayward’s. . . it might be worth the risk.

I think we will have to send a pick this year or next to get it done. Not sure they’d do it just to dump salary this offseason. Next year they might.
 
2018 AB = 2013 Brandon Rush. Oversimplification. He needs to go somewhere to hit the reset button with low expectations, and then exceed them and regain confidence.
