Would he like it here? Would you do it? Would they?

So Love leaves Minny because he wants to make the playoffs and you think he would stay in Utah if they win 30 games this year?
LOL!

I don't think the first half of the season(before he would have been here) would weigh much on his decision. I do think that we would win a lot of games in February/March/April with that lineup.

I see your reasoning, but I DO think Love looks at the record and missing the playoffs...AGAIN. No matter how many games the Jazz win after a trade, they're not making the playoffs. Too risky for Utah that Love just bolts next summer or the season after. And Utah would not want to trade their pick. If they stay the course this year, it likely ends up in the 4-8 range. And just imagine if that pick moved up to 1-3 in the lottery. Utah would want lottery protection, Cleveland would insist on getting a pick THIS year.

No time to panic. Keep Favs and give me a player like Johnson or Porzingis (or whoever will be BPA when we pick) on a rookie contract.

What if we could get Dragic too? I doubt he will be in Phoenix after the deadline.

dude, if we can get Dragic then we'd better do it. He's a perfect Quin-type player. Could easily play next to Exum.

But why do you doubt he'll be with Phoenix? Salary stuff?

He is expiring. He will command a hefty price. Phx just paid Bledsoe. Dragic has been complaining that the problem in PHX is that they are all PG's. He seems to want out.

He'd be a great acquisition. I haven't been paying attention to phoenix... what kind of package would get their attention? I'm sure they'd be after picks.

I don't know.

If they dealt Dragic they would probably need a 2. They could use an upgrade/depth in their frontcourt as well.

We have:
Picks
Burks
Hood
Booker
Kanter
Evans

I imagine we could figure something out.

Forgot to mention Hood.

Any picks would have to be lottery-protected, I think. And I'd hope we wouldn't have to payout for this year or the year after unless it was the GSW pick.

 

[♪alt13]

I just double checked it looks like he still has another year on his contract but he can opt out and it looks like he will.

Yeah I noticed right after I hit post.

I'm sure the pick would be dependent on who we sent to PHX. Better players=more protection/picks further out

Nah, I think Favors is arguably as good as Love.

Lol ,are you serious?
