2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

Where did you see that?

I haven't seen they want to keep him for sure, but he's the only one of their top end guys I haven't seen news that they've put him up for trade.

I guess they haven't explicitly said that. I've been listening to so many trade podcasts that all the info must just be bleeding together lol. Everyone representing the Pelis in the podcasts are rejecting offers for Jrue.

They won’t trade Jrue until at least the draft... the offer we have talked about Utah offering is so “meh” ... they’d be dumb to rush trading him. Around draft time could get a premium pick and stuff for him imo.

Yeah probably. It seems like NOP doesn't want to go for a full rebuild. But if they did, it might behoove them to trade Jrue and just tank. They're only like 3 games out of the #6 draft slot. If they could trade AD after the lottery for something like Porzingis and the #2 pick, then have their own #6ish pick, plus whatever you got from trading Jrue, Mirotic, and Randle, that's a pretty freaking sweet haul. It'd be like Philly's process in one season lol.

Jrue is great but most think he is overpaid. There simply aren't that many teams who want Jrue while also having the assets they are willing AND able to send to get him.

Jrue is a missing piece type guy. Outside of us, who has the expendable pieces and numerous upcoming picks they can send for him?

Wizards lost to the Cavs.

In case we were still monitoring them.

Some will say he’s overpaid but nba gms likely don’t feel that way at all.

Philly could trump our offer... I could see Phoenix sending out their pick if it fell outside top 3... lots of teams can beat an offer of mediocre firsts... Allen and Exum don’t have much value.

Orlando too... could send their top 10 pick at draft time.

OP looks not good when I’ve watched. I’m not sure if he is disengaged or not healthy or not really good...

He just ugly.


Legit have never seen him play that I can remember.

Favors PER 20+ this year btw. I bet he’d have way more value if he wasn’t behind a top 12 NBA player. He’s a great teammate and backup/spot starter, I’m starting to hope he just comes back at a lower number. Just can’t pay him what we are now.

The end of that game was hilarious. Cavs were up 12 with 40 seconds left, and then the Wizards missed a 3 to tie...

Look, stop gaps and incremental improvements won't cut it. Organic growth won't cut it. Adding 3rd tier players that are 80% of the 2nd tier player we really "want" won't cut it. Another year standing pat, hoping for "development" or "organic growth" won't cut it. With multi-all-star teams dominating the league, and us with 2 borderline all-stars, we need a proven top tier player if we're serious about competing. But we've been "that guy" away from competing for years, and DL likes to play it conservatively. They seem to be happy with mediocrity and fielding a team that's fun to watch to keep butts in the seats, while never really having a shot at the chip. They need to take a big swing or we'll waste Rudy's prime years. They need to make a big move, even if it fails, because no risk no reward. Otherwise we might as well accept our perennial position as a fun team that sometimes makes the 2nd round of the playoffs and yet again had a generational talent that has the asterisk of "... Who never won a ring".

****ing get it done Jazz. This is not a pizza shop where working on a thin margin is the primary concern. This is a ****ing billionaires hobby with a customer base that wants a better product.

Way late, but when was the last time a team made an in-season trade that led to the title? Pistons of 2004? When was the last trade of any consequence that led to a title, Pau Gasol in 2008 (in-season but didn't win until subsequent years)? Draft and free agent signings win NBA titles. Not making big swings in trades.

If Favors loves being here and loves being a member of this organization and wants to be part of winning a title here, he should accept the role. He has only averaged 15 minutes per game the last 9 2nd round playoff games. He is such an asset, but mainly as a backup to Gobert once we play the great teams.

Just this past December, he played his usual 25 minutes against both Houston and GSW. Did they stop being great teams? This month, it was 27 versus Toronto and Milwaukee.

There's no reason to think that Favors will reduce his minutes in the playoffs this year.
