2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

Cue up "Sometimes, the best trade is no trade." 3, 2, 1....

Wash, rinse, repeat.

It may be legitimate. Making bad trades can absolutely kill a team, particularly a small market team that may have fewer avenues available to it to recover.

On the other hand, being overly risk averse, and making no trades, can make it hard for a team to upgrade, particularly a small market team that is not a free agent destination and is fated to remain in mid-late draft.

The upside is that I don't need to feel bad about trading away great dudes like Ricky and Derrick. So there's that.

I wouldnt feel bad if Derrick got traded. He got a generous overpay of a contract for use with trades, and is more talented than a 4th or 5th option. He could have a bigger role somewhere else, and still benefit from the overpay contract we gave him.

Here's the rest of the post trade deadline interview talking points template...

- Just want to start by saying how stressful of a time of year this is. We're talking about real people, with real families, whose lives are put on hold and want to acknowledge the stress they experience as their names are in headlines, and want to recognize them for the professional manner in which they handle themselves.

- Look, it's my job to improve the team and I've always gotta be looking at every scenario that accommodates that. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes we don't feel we're getting equal value in return. There are hard decisions, but overall we really like our guys. You look at what we did last year ... [drop some sentiments], you look at how far we've come this year [more sentiments] and the progress we've made and the terrific impact [talk about Rudy and Donovan].

- When we look at the advanced stats, we find [insert some really positive stat that shows how good this group is].

something something internal improvement
 
What a dud of a deadline... Booo us!

I really think DL Hyper focused on Conley... that's fine but you had to know that front office was dumb. Guys we were rumored to like moved for fair prices... we continued down the path.

Favs deal was supposed to be trade bait and a look to see if his shot had developed... it didn't develop and we didn't use the contract. Last offseason there were opportunities to make long term moves to improve the the team... we passed to keep Favs and Exum in house. Now the deadline moves with no real change... most FA targets are likely to be out of reach...

The only way for Utah to become contenders is to trade the farm (sans rudy/donovan) + draft picks for a star, a la OKC with PG. Free agents AREN'T going to come here, yet there are so many on this board that believe we need financial flexibility for the summer lmao. To sign who? The Thabos, Udohs, and Niangs of the league? There are THIRTEEN other NBA teams that have similar / better cap space than we do going into the summer, yet this board is so disillusioned to think that we have a shot at top shelf FAs.... SMH

I would have given up Allen a first and second for Fultz. I think Snyder could have fixed him.

The scuttlebutt is that he has permanent nerve damage and will have to relearn to play basketball to accommodate his handicap. I'd like to think that a professional basketball team would know that and not make a deal if it were true. But then I look and see that the team involved is Orlando. . .

Preach. Preach, preach, preach. And amen.
 
Funny in listening to Locke's trade special, they were talking with the guy who covers Memphis and he really doesn't know why they kept Conley and that both the Jazz and Detroit's offers were good value for Conley. Sounds like Memphis was trying to get one of them to blink and neither did....
 
LOL ,Jazz fanz got to suck it up about Exum ,you get to hate on him for the duration because NO trades happened because of him. Jazz valued him over Rubio and Favors who they tried to trade.
WTF about Snyder though …..clearly he loves Rubio and doesn't like Exum like the front office does. Drama in the Jazz clubhouse with value put on Exum and Ricky knows Jazz tried to dump him.
Jazz need to get going on Exum/Mitchell back court ,playoff runs are the next part of the season.
