2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

If the Conley deal falls through, then for sure do what you can to trade our non-starter cap space. niko, one of the guards from the Clippers, a pick swap, something has to happen. Even a small something, as long as it’s not dumb.

Just give the Clippers Thabo and a 1st for Lou Will. There is no reason for the Clippers to want to hold on to Lou Will after trading Harris. They aren't making the playoffs. They have a TON of young guards (SGA, Robinson, Shamet, Thornwell, etc). AND they are now in asset acquisition mode. They are gathering assets and cap space to try and trade for and/or sign stars. Thabo and a 1st for Lou Will gives them what they want.

And the Jazz get the shot creation and scoring they desperately need... FOR CHEAP. 8 mill a year.

DL won't do this. Idk why, but he won't. Jazz will be left empty handed yet again, and we will hear the same old drivel this summer about "we're always looking to improve yadayada blah blah..." and then they'll hope to land a once in a blue moon draft pick a la Donovan or Rudy in the draft and maintain "financial flexibility". Same old story every year.

Or that. Just tell them we're moving it and if they don't decide, we're out. We need to move on and not miss out on other **** because we're waiting on Memphis. **** them.
 
With all the cap clearing moves out there, a team like Miami is chomping at the bit to clear space for the future. This is a left field type move which makes all 3 teams better:

Heat get Biyombo, Lamb and a 1st from Utah (maybe more if we must)
Hornets get Favors and Waiters
Jazz get Winslow and Olynyk

Why for Miami - they don't want to lose Winslow, but they must give up something for dumping the long term deals of under-performing and unhappy Waiters and Olynyk. Miami is the type team who believes they can lure free agents in 2020. After this deal, they could offer two max contract players to add to Josh Richardson and Bam Adebayo. They also save a ton of luxury money in this deal.

Why for Charlotte - they get much better now which is the most important thing since they are hosting the All Star Game and want to keep Kemba long term. They could still pursue Gasol which makes them that much stronger this year.

Why for Utah: we get a piece for the future in Winslow. Olynyk isn't a bad option to backup Gobert either.
 
Don't take Windhorst's word for the gospel. Reporters throw everything against the wall and their sources are a mix of internet forums, things they've heard offhand from rabblerousers and everything else.

Utah might not be Conley's first choice and there's actual merit to that, but I think it's silly to think he's going to not play well for us and sulk when he's had ample years to do that in MEM yet has been a model player.
