2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Predict what DL will say the day after the trade deadline. I'll go first "The best trades are the ones you don't make". "We like our team too much." "We now have more flexibility" (for what, I don't know).

Spoiler alert: Jazz don't make a trade and sits on their hands

DL is doing everything humanly possible to get a deal done that he feels improves the team. It takes two teams to make a deal and those teams are trying to get an overpay. Deal or no deal I’m just glad our gm isn’t impulsive and not about to set the jazz back.

I am making an effort to be more civil on the internet.

Green, your analysis of Utah history regarding slavery was most unique. Thank you for prompting me to revisit a portion of history.

Anyone else interested in the topic can look for information on the Compromise of 1850. It would be great to post what you learn in the General Discussions thread.

Back to the issue at hand. I doubt a trade is being made with the Jazz, they have spent all their spendable assets. I am going to spend some time enjoying those that are still here.

Hey wow, Porter was available like I said.

 

[LoPo]

Of course the one guy not on the market is the guy you want, and when he’s still a pel. after tomorrow you’ll criticize the jazz for not doing enough to get him. Lmao

Nope. If he's not available, then he's not available. I'm not upset about that.

I'm just trying to stay positive. We've missed out on almost every trade target guy on the list so far so I'm trying to stay positive.

If we don't do anything, it's because we value our stuff more than they are actually worth. And we are not aggressive enough. I'm not going to blame those flaws on Jrue's availability at all.

 

[LifeOnaPlate]

I'm a DL believer. Ef the haters.

 

[Alfalfa]

Now that we've established that Wizards' management are a bunch of morons, maybe we can get Beal?

Is he on the market?


Are you really this dumb?

yes. his deal expires this summer, and it would be difficult for WAS to keep him especially after Wall signed that 40mil per year horrendous deal. I can't advertise this guy enough cuz guys here who wanted Jrue should like this guy for exactly same reasons except he is actually gettable.

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Hey wow, Porter was available like I said.

For peanuts too.

And you’d have to think we did our due diligence. I’m bummed, but don’t know all the details I guess.

 

[Keefe]

Speculation is Houston flipping Shumpert for Mirotic……...Some teams reload and make runs for the playoffs while Jazz play too conservative …..

If you’re the Pels why wouldn’t you do that deal?

Sarcasm.

Seriously this **** always feels like collusion from league executives to me. As if they want Houston to be better for playoff intrigue. Why the **** would the Pels do that? There has to be a couple better deals out there for Niko.

I cannot wait for the rest of the season. I notice @NAOS is ducking me when I asked who wins more games after the trade.

What do you think?

"We really like what Mike brings to the program. He can shoot, he can score, he can pass, he can defend. You know, he's got great experience in the league too. But what a lot of people don't realize is the he has huge hand pads. And he's got tremendous balance too. We're really excited to have him."

I don't know. Both teams are pretty bad.

 

[RJF]

T-mine 17 hours(and change)...

T-minus 17 hours and probably no change.

Logic doesn't work on emotional issues. Some here want a trade wether it is good or not.

Probably. I was referring to the 2 additional minutes as change.

 

[campaignist]

K if Houston lands mirotic for shumpert then I’m on the DL screwed up and wasn’t aggressive train

"We're always trying to improve."

"We haven't seen what this team can do when healthy."

Favors is a great dude and great player. But he doesn't help us where we need help in the playoffs. If we had Conley and Lowry, you would trade one to improve the team elsewhere. Having 2 good centers does us no good when we need it most.

The majority of Favors minutes on the floor speak differently.
