Players we could realistically obtain
- Thread starter Fishsticks
- Start date

martin is playing very well right now. Would be tough to get him. Short of DWill not sure they would trade him for anyone on our roster.

That would give the Jazz too many players & they'd need another point guard.
NO would get a 4th point guard?

The Jazz can only reasonably obtain d-leaugers or scrubs, because the Jazz have got no assets they are willing to part with. Starting last December the Jazz gave away, then let walk away, then traded away every asset they had.
Mislap's contract is tradeable but the jazz won't get rid of their 'core'
AK's contract is not an assett because the jazz would either have to take back equally bad contracts or give away assets for another team to take on a bad contract. Besides the jazz have structured their team payroll for next year to just let AK walk and get nothing in return.

That doesn't mean the Jazz absolutely can't or won't, but the scenario you've painted is 100% accurate up to this point.
I would be ok with Bell if he was a bench player. I don't hate him overall, just as a starter.
Can't stand him in that role. Hayward and Miles at the 3 is pretty solid.
KOC are you on the phone yet?
Come on Bro.
What's wrong with half of you? Anyone who follows basketball knows there are plenty of obtainable players every year. From a fans perspective of win, win, win, then NO a lot of guys are UNTOUCHABLE. Think like an owner for a change. You're a billionaire, looking at a losing season on the court and the ledger. You're in the mid-low of the pack and don't have a shot at hitting the lottery. What do you do?
Everyone is stuck on the 2/3. It would be great to get S-Jax, but these deals look unlikely to almost everyone here. J. Richardson was available, but that deal is gone. Besides, how do you work an excellent wing into Sloan's system? Unless you think Jerry is going to option the triangle half the game then you're looking at log jamming a good 2 into outside shots only.
Look elsewhere. As much as I hate to say it, the Bulls are looking pretty damn good on the defensive end this year. Improving inside defense would go a long way to solving current problems.
Get creative. AK for Jamison would be good for both clubs. Jamison spreads the floor extremely well. Cleveland is going nowhere and Jamison is owed 15 mil. next year. Throwing in Varejao works money wise as well. Cleveland would have an insane amount of money to spend in the next two off seasons and could get a ton of help from the draft. Jamison isn't a piece of a rebuilding team.

Guys I think we could actually trade for that may be available and useful:
Brandon Rush: 41.5% from three, has a reputation as a tough defender, competes with a lot of other players for playing time Indy (Dunleavy and Posey) and has Paul George lurking in the shadows, plus his playing time seems to radically fluctuate meaning he's likely expendable. I have no idea what Indy would want, but Okur for Brandon Rush and Jeff Foster works in the trade checker and that's probably a big man upgrade for them that provides a nice contrast to Hibbert.
Bill Walker: 46.6% from the field, 41.9% from three. He's out of the rotation in New York unless Gallinari is injured and is a high character guy. His salary slots into the Kosta Koufos trade exception nicely. Or we could trade them a promising youngster like Evans/Fesenko.
My dream acquisition: Chase Budinger. Started out slow but has been playing amazingly lately (54% FG and 44.7 3PFG% this month). Has good passing eye and size for his position. Probably unacquirable given that Morey is smart and all indications are that they want to package multiple players to get a better asset rather than make positional or lateral movements and I don't think that's where we're at right now.
