2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

I'm all for gambling on a guy like Fultz if the price is right. I feel like if he was in Utah instead of Philly and away from as much media attention as he gets, he might just thrive. I also think that the Jazz staff could work wonders with him. Exum plus a first is a little steep though. I'd like to buy lower if at all possible. Worth thinking about though imo. Kid has a ton of talent. He was a #1 pick for a reason.

Here's my logic with the picks:

Jazz don't want the 2019 first rounder. Pelicans could be bad again in 2020, so maybe early 2nd 2020 > First Rounder 2019
Philly has demanded a first back for Fultz. They get to save face by getting back a "first rounder" even though its really only 10 spots higher than the 2019 Bulls 2nd Rounder
Pelicans want to compete, but know they aren't resigning Mirotic. They get back a near-first this season with the Bulls pick and a young player that could be useful in a rebuild.
 
Fultz could be better than Exum in a year, it wouldn't exactly take much. Exum at 11m a year isn't exactly cheap anymore either. As for the pick, we'll be drafting around #20 in a below average year. Maybe another Grayson Allen type will be there. Yay?
 
Would you guys do this trade?

Jazz get Fultz and 2020 2nd Round pick - New Orleans
76ers get Mirotic and 2019 Jazz 1st (Lottery protected)
Pelicans get Exum and 2019 2nd round pick (Bulls) via Philadelphia

Not that there's any rumors about this, I'm just curious.

**** no. We'd be giving up Exum and a 1st for Fultz, his ****ed up body and psychotic mom.

He can't.
 
Idk what Fultz is, but he isn't going to be better than Exum anytime soon.

Fultz likely has nerve damage in his right shoulder from a bike accident. That's why he can't raise his arm high enough to shoot from long range anymore and why he keeps changing his shooting motion. He may not be able to come back from it.

 
Doesnt work that way. You either have to keep the cap hold open for your FA or renounce his rights. You could only sign a good player via free agency and then use remaining cap room or the room exemption for additional players.

I thought they could retain the cap hold for the player they traded for before the deadline, and renounce the other cap holds in order to use the cap space (given the Jazz actually generate and keep the cap space to go for FAs).
 
i'm really hoping the 2019 pick gets traded (if lottery protected.) There are too many young players and projects on the team right now.

I would honestly bank on Exum having a better NBA career than Fultz at this stage, I think he's either mentally shot or is physically done with his shoulder.
 
Andy Larsen said on his podcast that Otto Porter is the most likely acquisition. He said he heard that the wizards were the ones trying to get the jazz to do the deal, but like a day later their owner says they’re not trading porter lol.

It was same day and Andy kinda laughed saying that’s not how their operating... I’m glad our owners are quiet
