2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

[latin jazz]

I believe you forgot the quote about Allen's hand pad strength has gotten even better and that Tony Bradley's balance beam routine has improved by 27%.

Those should be on NBA 2k ratings!

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Its a good thing we didnt get Conley.

I might actually agree here... the timeline wasn't great and I'm still on team DM is a pg more than a sg.

Go get more wing creation and help and a stretch 4... someone younger please.

I just thought we'd have a move up our sleeve.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Jazz aren't going to be a buyout team. Only chance for that was if they did a 2 for 1 trade.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

And yeah, I don't Wang Rubio long term, but I'm excited to watch his last dance with Utah this year.

Bruh you are wanging rubio...

One postdeadline move:

 

[outerspacefan]

Then what?

Pretty sure Dennis Lindsey will be the GM until he hires his own replacement. Regardless of what happens.

Oh... I'm pretty sure that's what most probaly will happen.
However, the fact remains that front offices should be accountable. Small market teams (and Utah more than anyone else) need to be careful and effective which I think, broadly speaking, they have been not. Not always thought this way, but now I do.

 

[enchilada_style]

DL needs to do some work this off-season though.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Jazz aren't going to be a buyout team. Only chance for that was if they did a 2 for 1 trade.

They could waive someone if something good came. They have full MLE so can outbid if something awesome came... was thinking Jabari would be a candidate, but that likely isn't happening now.

Oh I know. Maybe they cut someone else to open a spot. It's all I've got as far as roster move discussion goes. Sigh.

 

[bigmike]

Fine with everything that happened today TBH.

June/July is our time to strike. It's a big offseason for us.

 

[infection]

This is only disapointment and I will move on.

If we just bring back Favors and Rubio this summer, that's when I start worrying about our ability to keep Mitchell and Gobert long term.

Here, I've got a time machine, and these are your thoughts this summer:

This is only disapointment and I will move on.

If we just keep Favors and Rubio through the trade deadline, that's when I start worrying about our ability to keep Mitchell and Gobert long term.

 

[framer]

Just checking the Laker's boards and there is just overwhelming sadness about losing Zubac. I left. I don't need those monsters humanized.

 

[campaignist]

I've heard trade exceptions can be used to sign free agents, is that right?

 

[cowhide]

Really. Wonder why those reports came out that he didn't want to come here.

Because the press throws crap out there during trade talks because it looks like they have inside info and helps their social media standing.

 

[SCS]

And yes, Chris Wallace is an idiot. He will never get a better offer for Conley than the offers he got at this deadline. I don't know why he thinks he's going to get a better offer around the draft. Who in the bluest of blue hells is going to pay his ridiculous asking price for a 32 year old PG making 30+ million a year when there will be so many younger, cheaper options available to teams in the draft, free agency and on the trade market when teams have more financial flexibility??? He's so dumb. I hope they end up giving him away for peanuts.

Jazz are team feels right now. They aren't going to waive someone.

 

[elfront]

Hahaha. And now smart, you have to pay in summer for Rubio 18 M .. or if not, you can always trade to brandon knight or Reggie jackson: $ jajajajajajajaja

 

[SoUjazzfan]

Rudy has been damn loyal but I'm really starting to fear the idea of losing him in 2021. He wants to freaking win. Sticking with this current roster is not a path to winning in the playoffs (as much as I love this group).

I feel Rudy wants to take as much responsibility toward winning as is humanly possible. He won't run to a stacked team (ala KD) just to get a ring. He wants to be the reason he wins. Keep Donovan and find a couple of other fierce competitors to play around him and I think he stays.

I don't think they are dumb for holding Conley out. Deals will be easier at the draft for them.

 

[framer]

He said today he would be willing to play anywhere.

And now he gets to play on the second crappiest team in the freaking WESTERN conference. Hope that works out for him.
