A Big Move on the Horizon?

The word "composition" hints to me that it's Favors as he is a huge piece of the current 2-traditional big roster composition. I could also see Joe Johnson being in the deal too as it would explain why Jonas Jerebko would want to sign here. If Favors and Joe Johnson are both on the roster, Jerebko has 0 available minutes when both those dudes are healthy.

Yeah sounds like it's a hint toward Favors. I don't think the Jazz are wanting to trade Joe. I think Jerebko would get minutes if Favors and Joe were healthy though. Favors would get some of his minutes splitting time with Gobert at Center which would open some minutes at PF. And Joe will probably be on limited minutes for the regular season again. Plus he can get some of his minutes at 3.
 
No, Melo is going to Houston.

I'd assume something like this?

* I dont think this is likely a real thing tho*

I could see us being involved in the HOU/NY trade. But getting Love out of the deal is unlikely. I don't think Cleveland would swap Love for Ryan Anderson. They really don't have a motive to move Love without getting a star back in return. It might be a different fourth team involved instead of Cleveland. Not sure what we would get out of it.
 
Why? It`s not like the two players we signed are going to demand huge minutes. We could still do a trade like sending Favors, JJ and Diaw for Love + Shumpert, which would really help our team.
The moves today are just to add depth. Neither would necessarily prevent another move from happening. Any "big move" would likely involve Hood, Favors or Exum.

Did Utah want Exum to play SL in order to showcase him? If so, he strengthened his trade value.
 
Don't know why Favors would be disgruntled.
Because he's been involved in trade rumors ever since Lindsey took over. Constant talk of Gobert and Favs not being an ideal fit at the 4/5. Also, he wanted to be extended at the deadline and the Jazz didn't make him an offer.
 
If we get Ryan Anderson I will vomit and then lick it all up so I can vomit again. No thank you.

I'm guessing it will be something under everyone's radar. I don't believe DL would sacrifice that much cap space without some significant compensation.
 
Whatever the trade, I hope Denver is involved lol

I'm sure they are still sore from our last encounter. It really does feel like Favors is on the way out, though. Kinda sucks, but if Quin didn't want to play him next to Rudy when we had shooters 1-3, I'm sure he doesn't want to with Rubio running the show.
 
Portland has major luxury tax issues and Nurkic is due for a big contract next yr around $25 per max. Jazz should be able to get a trade for better assets as Portland has major luxury tax problems.
 
Fairly sure I mentioned this first in another thread about love.

On melo to Houston. I love when they only thing holding the trade up is needing to find someone to eat the huge albatross terrible contract.

I'd consider Favs and Burks for Anderson but I'd want at least one first round pick and Houston can't offer one until 2020... so I'd want two picks because it is so far in the future.

I really see LBJ winning the battle here and getting his buddy. Gilbert and LBJ in a pissing contest.
 
I would only take Anderson if we sent Burks away. If its Diaw and Favors for Anderson, no thanks.

I want to see Melo in Cleveland. Melo deserves a shot to contend yet Cleveland's window will shut sooner rather than later. If Houston stays put with only CP3, Harden and company, I think they are very beatable.

I just dont see what NY gets in a Melo trade that's better than Favors (good player expiring), Diaw (nonguaranteed), Utah 2018 1st.

They won't get a first at all.

Here is the trade... Cleveland gets melo and JJ, we get love and shumpert, ny gets favs diaw felder and Tavares. Cleveland gets off of shumpert and gets their dude plus they get Jesus.
