2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

[Miggs]

Bjelica isn’t playing as much as he did early in the year. I wonder if we could snag him as part of a three way in which Favors goes out.

 

[Ron Mexico]

U can have one small player in the lineup. If you have 2 u will get destroyed

Why would that matter. He defends better than Rubio so its an upgrade on defense. Its also a very big upgrade on offense. You can play with two guys short just fine. Mitchell also has a huge wingspan and has been solid at guarding taller guys. I would rather have Conley guarding Steph or CP3 than Rubio.

 

[Jazz]

Conley and Jamychael Green (expiring) for Rubio and Favors?

I think I’d do it.

Big upgrade at the point imo and Green is underrated. We can start Crowder and bring Green off the bench and will always have a tough stretch 4 on the floor. Dude’s shooting 38.7% on 2.4 attempts per game this year and is at 35.8% for his career. Also 76.7% from the line for his career which is far better than Favors and is almost identical so far as TRB% and Assist%.

Trade machine says it works and gives us +3 wins.

But how do they defend anyone

 

[DasJazz]

So does a tiny backcourt work in NBA today.

If the talent is there, that trumps everything.

But how do they defend anyone

Basketball players actually don’t defend with their heads.

 

[Jazz]

If the talent is there, that trumps everything.

But Conley isn't that good though

Why would they want Favors? Jazz are a better team if they keep him.

He's really damn good. He's like the best version of Rubio on a night to night basis.

 

[jjscap]

Yeah but Paul is better and stronger than Conley. And how much taller is James harden than Donovan. U can have one small player in the lineup. If you have 2 u will get destroyed

DM isn't small. His monstrous winspan allows him to defend multiple positions. He only struggles vs freaks like Durant and Giannis.

 

[Sandman822]

If the Jazz can get Conley while also keeping Exum then as long as Jrue is 100% off the table (idk what to believe anymore after the crazy 48-72 hrs or so of trade talk tbh) I'm 100% on board.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

You can also play Exum at the 3 more with Conley. The Jazz would do the 3 PG lineup sometimes, but Exum/Rubio combo just isn't good enough at shooting.

 

[DasJazz]

But Conley isn't that good though

He is currently averaging 20.2 points to go along with 6.3 assists and 3.4 rebounds while averaging 35.9% on 3s in 51 games this season. That's pretty good by any measurable standard. You're just trolling at this point and you know it.
