PHO appears to have the cap sace to acquire 2 of Rubo/Favors/Burks while sending Monroe's expiring in return. Could anyone see them being interested enough to part with a decent asset(s)? Is Rubio/Burks for Monroe/protected 1st realistic? Favors to MIL/CLE seems like a logical fit & I imagine...

Trade everyone for anything of value/shed salary outside of Mitchell /Gobert + Exum/Ingles/Hood/Bradley (unless someone overpays). Favors + our depth is what is currently keeping us afloat. Without it, I could see us finishing in the top 10. Also, if I'm not mistaken, freeing salary would enable...

IMO the core moving forward should be: Exum (Too early to give up on) Mitchell Ingles/Hood (If price is reasonable) ? Gobert/Bradley (If he pans out) Aggressively target Jabari Parker as a RFA, flip all other assets outside of 1st's (which in return should improve this year's pick), & draft...

We're still an impact player away from contending & although DL has shown the ability to find talent outside of the lottery, you still have to play the odds IMO. The higher the draft pick, the better.

If tanking is out of the question, trying to pry Parker away from MIL is the best move IMO. Even if it takes the max, as much of a risk as that would be.

IMO we should be attempting to acquire that game-changing stretch 4 thru the draft (which is why I still support tanking). We're unlikely to attract a FA of that caliber or acquire 1 without having to give up Gobert or Mitchell. But we're also unlikely to end up picking high enough to draft that...

I still believe, since it's extremely unlikely that we win the championship this year, that having the highest probability of acquiring that 3rd impact player needs to be the priority if we're going to have a chance at winning a title anytime soon. That being said, it's clear that management...

You have to include Gobert in the equation & because of his style of play, as well as Mitchell's ability to drive/finish, the most important piece is a (at minimum) starting caliber stretch 4 IMO. Exum(/tbd) Mitchell Ingles Stretch 4 Gobert Hood: 6th man Exum developing into a solid 3 & D...

I agree but we need to increase our odds (highest draft position possible) at getting that 3rd future all-star & being more than just a good team.

I think this team is better than it's shown, but it clearly needs to make adjustments/add pieces on the offensive end. And best case scenario appears to be the 7th/8th seed, with the more likely scenario being finishing 9th/10th. Unless you're sold on at least 1 of Rubio, Hood, Exum, or...

Saying we suck is going overboard imo. But we do have a somewhat patchworked roster with a clear deficiency on 1 side of the ball. I don't doubt we could still sneak into the playoffs but should we? Playoff experience is beneficial & the franchise seems to prioritize remaining...

karl malone would never pull a backstreet boy. Karl Malone doesn't know why a boy would be in the back of a street. Or how to use a computer. Hope that clears everything up.

Would people have traded Favors, a similarly conditional 1st, & a future 2nd for Bledsoe? Not sure if it would've worked salary wise but seems comparable. Personally, I'd prefer we go the other direction & reload with young talent but that doesn't seem to be the Utah way. So, while I don't...

I like the Parker fit as well but regardless of the target, all non-Gobert/Mitchell assets (aside from Exum, due to his current talent vs value ratio) should be condensed for that 3rd impact player. As the op stated, Gobert& Mitchell are clearly the future. Rubio, Hood, Ingles, & Favors all...

Like Love & the fit but not sure we match up asset-wise. Also don't like the idea of spending significant assets on someone who is unlikely to propel the team to contender status &/or remain a core member for the next 5+ years. Young talent approaching/entering their prime should be the...

Rubio is without a doubt a starting caliber PG. But he has a unique skill-set that, especially as the league has become more guard driven/perimeter oriented, needs to be specifically schemed around in order to maximize his performance/effectiveness. Rubio, understandably, is struggling to...

It all comes down to the contracts. Exum has elite tools & legitamite reasons for having yet to develop. But injuries & struggles are a definite concern. I don't know what type of contact he'll be able to demand but at the right price, preferably on a 2/3 yr deal, he's worth the gamble imo...

Imo the focus should be to condense assets such as favors/JJ & possibly Rubio/Hood/Ingles if someone offers a potential impact player in return. The team in no way should be blown up but despite the fact that our defense seemingly gives us an opportunity to win any given night, it's clear that...

I haven't followed any of their nba careers closely but from the little I've seen/remember, at the right price(s), Huestis, Hezonja, & Looney all intrigue me. Okafor can be a serviceable back-up big in the right situation imo but doesn't seem to fit the team culture. With likely mid-late 1st rd...
