2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

Sneakers said:
Still don't understand how this has become a referendum on Exum. Why exactly do we think he was considered untouchable and/or sandbagged potential deals? Not being sarcastic -- can someone explain?

There was a report that Exum was a sticking point in the Conley negotiations.

There's a realistic path to the WCF this season for this team if they can avoid the Warriors. Nobody else is a juggernaut, unlike last season. Y'all need to calm the hell down.

I want turn believe than but after the way we started and what we have done recently against good teams I figure we are what we are. Which is about the 7th best team in the West or so. Just a few weeks ago when DM was our point guard and we were on that big winning streak against bad competition I was believing we were top 4.

Those 2 HUGE games recently really decreased my optimism though.

Maybe they will destroy the Spurs in the next game and give me some more hope

Really the problem here is that DL didnt read enough of @LoPos trade ideas. Probably should keep making them until he takes notice of the great ideas.


We have a team that can make some noise this year. If healthy we are built for the playoffs. There is no reason to make a trade if its not a good deal, just to make a trade. The asking price of a lot of players was very high. Players got traded for way more than people were suggesting in here. It makes sense why we didnt make some moves.

If I had any confidence at all in us making a huge free agent signing I wouldn't be disappointed that we didn't make a move, but I don't. We just had so many expiring contracts this year that it feels like a real wasted opportunity not to make a trade.

At least we might lose those expirings for nothing this summer though. At least there's that

Sincere question: what does Rubio bring to this team that is irreplaceable? His 33% from the three? His three free throw attempts? 6 assist? 12 points? His 2-1 assist to turnovers ratio?

Definitely could help him, but I would never make a trade just to make a trade. There has to be some sort of asset we need.

I guarantee there are guys on staff who just throw ideas on a wall constantly.

I'd like to go on the record that I never wanted Mike Conley and his albatross contract on this team. I feel like I must be the only happy person on this board today (though getting something for Rubio would have been nice, at the same time reading his thoughts through the twitter made me want to keep him for personality alone).

Nope. I've been on the "Conley=too much $, roll with Rubio" train all this time.
 
How are we gonna get Satoransky? He’s got one year left at <4M. That’s a great deal. With Wall out for the year, I don’t see it happening. Unless they totally gut it and trade Beal too.

What report? I haven't seen it... link?

It's on Tony Jones (the Athletic - covers Jazz) twitter. He said Jazz offered to match dollar for dollar in expirings and a first and second round pick. Memphis demanded Exum and Jazz declined.

Tony isn't a Jazz fan. He readily admits that. He says the Jazz didn't want to overpay for Conley and they didn't. I don't think dumping Exum like that is the best use of our limited moveable assets at this point.

His contract expires this summer. And quite the opposite, I don't see WAS keeping him unless they move one of Wall/Beal. The guy is way too talented to stay as a backcourt reserve.

Ricky Rubio and Derrick Favors will be on the Jazz next season. There isn't anyone in 2019 free agency that we can realistically sign and is an upgrade over those two. We don't really have any tradeable assets to acquire a major upgrade this summer. And the Jazz can't afford to let Rubio and Favors walk with nothing in return. So both will be back. It's not that hard to understand.

Now, I am worried about us not being able to utilize the capspace, too... and I too think that failing to utilize it in the next 2 FAs will be a failure. But IMO a bigger failure would have been to waste that capspace on players that doesn't address our biggest needs and at the same time all but eliminate us from addressing them in the following 2 years.

BINGO

None of that makes sense.

I mean, sure its possible, but I would say its not likely. The Jazz obviously wanted to upgrade Rubio today and where willing to give up Favors and and a pick to do so.
