We Shouldn't Trade Bojan

[LoPo]

If somebody blows us away, definitely trade him.

If we are struggling at the deadline, definitely trade him.

I started the thread because there seemed to be a sentiment that we needed to trade Bojan. I don't think we need to trade him unless we meet one of the criteria above.

I really like Bogey and if we are trying to win then he is helpful.

I think Bogey is someone we should trade 100% regardless of what we do with Don. If we don't, he's just gonna walk.

Wasn't there a post that said a Bojan trade was a done deal and just waiting to be announced

We really shouldn’t be trying to win - even if the Jazz plan to retool around Mitchell instead of trading him, the focus should be getting the future foundational players onto the team - whatever it takes.

Bogey, Clarkson, Conley, Gay, Beverley and Beasley are all just passing through at this point. Better to move them for any quality assets that can get. Don’t sell low just to get rid of them, but actively try to get picks of players that have long-term value before they leave.

For the right price, absolutely. If not, his salary relief next year helps.

I think he’s a great piece for a contending team. Would definitely want to trade him before he expires and leaves for nothing.

That's my point exactly. If we are keeping Don, we are trying to win. If we are trying to win, Vanderbilt and whoever our centers are will need the type spacing he provides.

Clarkson is my hands off guy, but Bogey is #2 on that list. My reasoning is that I can’t count the # of times that one of those two has gotten us going when nobody else can throw a rock in the ocean.

It’s time to move Bojan Bogdanovic to a team like the New York Knicks if it happens.. to get Cam Reddish and Evan Fournier if they can get a 1st round picks. You got start adding younger and more athletic players to surround with Donovan. If they can used the trade exception they should go after Jalen Johnson from the Atlanta Hawks

You keep Bojan if you think there is even an outside chance of contending. In my estimation we are at least two key players away from that chance. What two pieces are we adding to make that a reality?

If Don stays, so much hinges on Mike Conley. Can we trade him for value? If we can't, we might have to trade Clarkson for value. If we can't, then we might have to trade Beasley. From there, we have Bojan.

Our entire offseason post the Rudy trade comes down to Mike Conley. Can he fetch us help?
