2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

[mellow]

The conley idea smells like desperation. If Lindsey Mortages the future again for another short term mid level, pg then buckle up Jazz fanz cause you're gonna lose Rudy and Donovan.

I will be so bold to say if that is the only option the Jazz have left then they need to do now what they should've done with Hagwaste and reset the timetable around the new star by trading the old.

Trade Rudy for everything they can get and build around Mitchell.

On 97.5 they were talking about how adding anybody that would make Ingles the 4th best player on the team would help everyone out immensely. Interesting though imo.

Would you trade for Wall's contract if it brought back Beal?

Wow, what a great question. I'm not sure. I'm on the fence on this one. I would probably say yes because we could do the trade with Favors, Rubio and Thabo. Bradley Beal is just that good. Wall's contract hurts us, but getting Beal is probably worth it.

Mike Conley is near the end of his career and he doesn't make us even remotely competitive with the Warriors. Plus he's ball dominant, and Donovan Mitchell plays best when HE'S dominating the ball. Sending out young Exum/draft picks for him is a horrible long-term decision imo. It's paying, what, $100 million to get to OKC/Portland's level? I just don't get how strategically it makes sense.

Yes we haven’t been competitive at all between last year and this year, as we’ve beat them by a combined total of a gazillion points, and the one win they have this year, they got lucky.

Kuzma is actively bad on defense. He can score, but he needs to be more efficient. Neither moves the needle when it comes to nba media and DL gives zero effs about that in player acquisition.

I'd rather have Kuzma... but for two firsts and other stuff... nah. I would want Saric for a first... much more than that and I'd pass. .

So we are willing to give up more for Conley than we would for Kuzma? That's just crazy. Kuzma is a scorer and we are a team who desperately needs another scorer. If we create a starting lineup of Exum, Mitchell, Ingles, Kuzma and Gobert, Kuzma is our worst defender. However, everybody else is a fantastic defender. On the offensive end, we Mitchell and Kuzma are the only fantastic offensive players. I will take his defense as long as he is providing that much of an offensive threat.

I think Kuzma is a bit overrated. He may fit more in the mold of a poor man's Rudy Gay from yesteryear. Plus, here's LaVar's take:

lmao who is saying Kuzma for two first?

I like the guy, but he's kind of turned into a chucker who doesnt shoot very well. I'd rather have Saric if prices where equal.

We ain't giving up two firsts for Conley. Kuzma is fine... he can score on less than ideal efficiency. Everything else he does ranges from not great to really bad.

He seems like a worker... I'd bet on him. I don't think he's really even available, so I'm not going to argue with you there.

 

[LoPo]

We can use an exception to get Kuzma. We don't have to give up Favors, Rubio, Exum whatever it takes to get Conley.

If we could get Kuzma for an exception and 2 1st round picks, that's an absolute no brainer.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I'll give ya two guesses but you prolly only need one.

Now I think we should go get him.

That sums up what we’re missing perfectly. Even joe would play better with less responsibility, he just seems so tired
