2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

[MDAV28]

You are well in the minority in your belief.

Then again, he's having a down year and a lot of his value revolves around his potential considering his playing in a toxic environment.

Maybe within Jazz fans, but I wouldn't imagine within Wiz and general NBA fans. I'd peg him at about $15 mil per

It'd be 20 at the lowest

 

[Jingled]

Why would you definitely have to include a pick? OPJr is a negative value contract.

No he isn't.

 

[MDAV28]

Ok.

Of all SFs making 20+ a year let alone 26, I'd say the usual terrible contracts (Gordo, Parsons, Batum) are the only ones playing worse. Wiggins on his deal is definitely much worse but doesn't look as bad at 20 mil per.

I realize he's a "potential" guy and I am in 100% agreement he would thrive here, at minimum play much better than in DC, but I don't think the Jazz need to eat the cost of his poor development.

He's one of the best shooters in the nba and has incredible defensive versatility.

Incredible is a strong word. How much does Ingles make per year again?

Not enough

 

[MDAV28]

Not enough

Should he make $26? Otto is paid like a superstar, and he's not a superstar.

I have no qualms at the value of Otto Porter as a basketball player. Jazz don't need to give up an asset for what he is, an overpaid player. Other suitors (like Portland) could match salaries but can't offer the 2019/20 cap savings Jazz could by giving them Favors. Plus Favors for Porter swap, might even make them better this year.

If you're just looking at getting appropriately paid players your team isn't going to be good.

Not necessarily true but again, Porter deal is fine to trade for, so long as we're not giving up an asset.

 

[LoPo]

For what Porter provides right now, $26 million is right at the top of what he should be paid.

When the salary cap goes up by $7 million this summer and guys like Middleton are paid $32.7 million, Porter is going to look like a great contract. Ingles will look even better.
