2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I kind of want to take a chance on Chandler Parsons. Big contract but only this year and next left on it. His team won't even play him and he's growing sour in that situation.

Don't post drunk.

I'll try not too! Pormies, I mean, pormise, what I meant to say was promise!

He's a good shooter and might come for a decent trade where we aren't giving up the farm like some other proposals. Medium risk/High Reward.

High risk/no reward type of move move actually lol

We aren’t trading for Beal. Lol

I didn't say we were. I just said he would be ideal (out of the players whose names seem to be floating around trade discussions).

What’s the point of that if you know we aren’t trading for him then? Waste of time.

Present something better then.

Standing pat. Not saying it’s a good solution, but your qualifier was ‘something better.’

Chandler Parsons was a decent target around the draft when Memphis was rumored to be interested in trading down if somebody took his contract. Now, he is an awful idea unless we get a future unprotected 1st with him.

Jazz need two things:

1) A big who can shoot and playmake a bit. We're featuring Jae and Thabo, but we can do better. Ideally, we'd find someone like a younger, healthier version of Danilo Gallinari. Orlando may actually be willing to move Aaron Gordon supposedly, but they'll want a lot in return.

2) A long-term solution at PG. Maybe that's Dante, maybe not. He's at least looking more like a PG these days. If Anthony Davis leaves the Hornets this summer, the rumor is that the Jazz will go after J'rue Holliday.

Almost anyone on the league. Even guys like Wayne Ellington are low risk/low reward. At least role players like those can still play (some) and have a bit of value. But you don't pay 25M a year for guy whose career is over.

and btw, i'm not proposing an Ellington trade. But you ask me for an example of something better, so....

Fair enough, haha.

Jazz have two stars, decent role players, future cap space and three solid contracts that can be used for trade purposes. They shouldn’t be taking on bad contracts for assets. They shouldn’t sacrifice future cap flexibility for middling win-now moves.

They biggest problem the Jazz face is a lack of meaningful assets to tip the scales in their favor over other teams. Unless a disgruntled star forced his way out at the deadline OR a surprise deal comes out of nowhere. . . the Jazz should not make a major trade at the deadline. They need a star that tips the scales in their favor.

Most major trades happen in the offseason. Favors and Exum together would still provide a solid foundation for matching salaries without having to take on a bad contract. The tricky part is coming up with quality assets that move the needle. Allen, Bradley and future picks probably isn’t enough - unless Exum blows up and looks like a focal point in a major trade.

If they strike out on a trade leading up to the draft, they should keep the flexibility to chase a max free agent and try to find their third star that way. That (IMO) is a distant 3rd to trading for someone or trading up in the draft. I feel like they missed the boat by focusing on Hayward, Hill and Rubio instead of going after Paul George or Jimmy Butler these past two years.
