2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

Could they swing Love and Wall? Favors and Picks for Love. Rubio and Picks for Wall. Additional players for salary reasons
Gobert
Love
Ingles
Mitchell
Wall
That could be a starting five that could compete with Warriors.
 
Okay, so here are my current options:

Option #1 - if we are lucky, no team trades for Ariza by January 15. Hopefully, Phoenix and Igor have interest in Exum. Ariza for Exum is pretty fair for both sides. Sure beats Phoenix just buying Ariza out. And if we are still out on Exum, just cut him loose, get a great expiring vet for the playoffs, and move on. If we go this route, we have more money to spend in the summer.

Option #2 - once again, this is a January 15 or later scenario. Trade with NOLA if they trade AD. We have been over this one, but use Favors, Exum, Rubio, picks, whatever necessary. Go after Jrue, Mirotic and Randle in that order. Some or all three guys should be available if NOLA rebuilds.

Option #3 - Beal - once again, a January 15 or later idea. It is very unrealistic, but we have a glimmer of hope. It would take us taking Mahinmi's deal and probably sending 2 1sts.

Option #4 - after January 15, Favors and expirings for Hardaway and Ntilikina works well. NY goes full tank and dreams of a big free agent this summer.

Option #5 - Otto Porter - post January 15, we could give Washington expirings and luxury relief.

Option #6 - if Miami keeps struggling, we look to send expirings for some of their role players. I would target Winslow, Olynyk maybe even Richardson if he becomes available. They could avoid the luxury with the right deal.

Option # 7 - after January 15, Exum to Orlando for Simmons. Just like Ariza, this would be an Exum dump for an expiring vet.

Regardless, we need to do something else. Korver was a great deal but we need more.

You should’ve started a new thread with this.
 
I’m looking at Harris. He could see himself as the final part that puts the jazz at that extra level, and if the money is right, why not the jazz. I see no reason to give up assets right now (1st round picks)

It's crazy how excited this fan base gets at players performing less well than Favors on the advanced metrics, and who can't play the role Favors plays with the bench. Grass is greener, I guess.

You'd better pray that those pieces fit to win a championship, because we'd be screwed in 2022-2023 when Love and Wall are combined for $75M.

Favors makes $17 million this year yet really doesnt fit next to Gobert against elite teams. If he was making $10 million and coming off the bench, nobody would complain a bit about Favors.

This is why I prefer Harris to favors:

He can reliably shoot, score, and pass. He can hit the three. Favors is good but he’s best as Rudy’s backup. Harris is a better fit.

How much do you think Harris will make, and why is his fit better (seeing as their 3%s are about equal)?

Edit: about equal in Nov/Dec.

On what volume?

Will Harris shoot more 3s than Favors is he takes over Favors' role? Are we talking about replacing Favors in the starting lineup, and getting another back-up C?

I could see replacing Crowder with Harris, definitely.

Uhhhmm... Favors shot 17 threes in Nov/Dec. Harris shot 80. Favors' shots are all from the corner. Harris' are from everywhere.
