2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

I don't think they'll trade a first for Mirotic. Not for a rental. They may pursue him in the off season though. That I'm fine with.

Then what will they do if they use Favors to match Conley's salary? We're thin at that position, and they're definitely planning to bring some else in.
 
The draft only gives the team control of the player for 7 years, at which point they're in their prime and ready to go to a big market on the coast.
7 years is about 5 years more than the best you can get in a trade or 7 more than you can get in free agency.
 
The Jazz HAVE to make a trade. Either a trade that is an effort to improve the team now (like Conley) or a trade that brings in an asset in exchange for taking a contract.

Standing pat is the worst possible outcome. I don't see a single player we could possibly hope to add in 2019 free agency that would be a gamechanger.

Standing pat basically means that we re-sign Rubio and Favors and bring back the same team next year with no improvement.
 
Lowry is definitely a lateral move - like most of all players discussed here. Any player that’s not a star is a lateral move. They may make us somewhat better, but they won’t put us over the top.
For what it's worth, Toronto fans speak super highly of his impact, even in an off year. Like a lot of people think he's a bigger impact than Kawhi.
 
And the 76 getting Harris is just the icing on the cake. Unbelievable. And Dallas getting Porzingis? What the **** are we doing?? How is DL not able to get a third star next to Rudy and DM? The time is now.
