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

[Saint Cy of JFC]

****s wrong whichoo troll? Gallo ain't no damn 3 point threat. FFS. We gots Tha Jerebko playin mo betta both sides tha ball. We gots us Jingles, Jae, Thabo... why the hell you wanna add 22 mill for two more seasons for a nobody? Is ya havin a concussion?

Sum the ******** people come up wit.

Gallinari is definitely a 3 point threat. He is legitimately equal to Hayward on the offensive end. He just cant stay healthy.

If I knew he could stay healthy I would be all for it, but he has really proven to be one of the most injury prone players in the NBA.

I would have been tempted at swapping Burks' 2 years for Livingston's 3 years plus their #31 this year and two 2nd rounders. Livingston is only guaranteed 2 mill in 3 years. Nick Young's expiring could have been taken on too to give them cap relief this year (they're deep into LT).

Waiving Burks on the 3 year stretch provision and taking on Klay so the Warriors don't go deep into LT is the obvious choice for both teams. We are talking well over 100 mil in LT to keep this team together. Projections have them as high as 322 mill in 2022. That's probably about 200 mill over the line, with a repeater tax × 4.5 meaning a total salary of 1.2 billion.

Joe Lacob is worth 1.5 billion. He's not keeping this racket going. Draymond and Klay are up for cheap sale after KD signs. Work in a 3 way to unload Iggy's monstrosity and everything equals out. Send Iggy and Draymond plus multiple picks to Utah, Favors and Klay somewhere for a high draft pick to Utah, and Burks and filler expirings Udoh and Thabo to GSW. They keep a winning bench with those 3 additions, Utah gets that punk *** Green, and the other team gets a better player tgan they could draft with a 5 or 6 pick, plus Favors.

I just don't think there are many competitive teams that think they can use him. I may be too down on him, but he just won't function in our system. I think they'd likely stretch him and I don't think Denver would include Hernangomez in the deal, but he has had a rough year so who knows how they view him.

Fits better than Faried and offers salary cap relief. That's the point.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

If there's a team that really wants Alec, we can include him as a throw-in to a trade. However, at his $11M salary, that isn't likely. It's probably best just to let him expire next year and keep him as a 10th man of sorts, giving us the freedom to trade someone else. It's probably not worth taking back baggage to move Burks.

For example, having Burks on our roster made it a little easier to move Rodney Hood this year, since he could play some back-up minutes at the 2.

 

[fishonjazz]

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.

Going from my hopes of klay/kahwi/jimmy to middleton/harris makes me want to puke. Would be much happier with Gordon/Jabari. Not giving up hope for one of those big dogs doe. Who wouldn't want to play with gobert, Mitchell, jingles, and Quin and have a shot at a title while making max money? Only an idiot wouldn't want that.

Cmon dude.

I don't think having Burks mattered at all. Royce's strong play gave us some wing depth but we had to trade Rodney anyway: he wanted a bigger role/$ and we didn't want to commit to those. Sayonara.

I get the appeal... just think those types rarely change teams in FA and when they do it is for really appealing markets... LA, Miami, GS.

Dallas couldn’t get Deandre... and that is a more appealing market. Kwahi likely pushes for mega max contract with SA and I think Minny reups with Butler. Klay seems content as the third/fourth fiddle on a championship team. Some have mention the zinger as a possibility. I think his injury means he signs an extension this offseason.

I’m fine with someone hoping to land a big dog, but am much less hopeful personally. I think having the flexibility in a deep FA class opens up a lot of possibilities. Should have a clear idea of what we need at that point.

Jazz are going to have to poach someone in a trade and then convince them to stay. They should do their best to keep maximum cap space available in 2019 and 2020 to have a shot at grabbing an elite free agent if they strike out on the trade market.

I wouldn’t break the bank for a guy like Middleton or Harris. Go big, or go home. I’d much rather keep Favors and Rubio over clearing cap space for a 2nd/3rd tier free agent.

 

[LogGrad98]

Let's just trade Favors and Burks and whatever else, including a few Miller dealerships, for the Brow and win all the championships. AD + Gobert + Mitchell + Ingles + Rubio. Mother of all that is holy, is there a better starting 5 in the NBA than that? Fill in the bench with a couple of 3 and D guys, keep Udoh Jerebko Crowder, get Neto back. Wow.


Edit: I know, I know, but a guy can dream can't he?

 

[David Stern]

Can you work out a sign and trade with a guy who is a restricted free agent?

Yes... I could see Orlando and Milwaukee both being open to this but will cost at least a first.
