2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

Since I sort of called the Korver trade (I called that it would be the early trade to happen, if one happened), I will call that there are only two possible Utah trade before the deadline.

1. Jazz trade for Otto Porter
2. Jazz trade for Kevin Love

I don't think there is any chance a trade happens outside of those two possibilities.

Personally, I don't think either of those trades happens either. I think Utah will go on another big run after this road trip (hopefully beginning with this road trip if they get lucky against the Bucks) and that will give the front-office renewed confidence in the team and their ability to land free agents in the Summer.

If the team doesnt go on a run and continues the trend of floating around the .500 mark, then maybe Utah reassess a bit and goes after one of those two trades I listed above.

The one thing that will not happen is Utah taking on a salary dump just to get a mid-1st round pick (or even late lotto). That's a Cy Approved Guarantee Stamp.

Trade deadline is in a month... so they better get that run started (insert obvious Rodney Hood reference).

I’d trade Favors for Love and two seconds.
 
I don't think they would take a salary dump deal... but I think they should consider it if it nets a good first and has a potentially useful, but overpaid player attached to it. Marvin Williams is the best example I can think of.

They could also do the Love and OP trades this offseason once they strike out in FA. The more teams that hoard space the less chance there is value anywhere on that market.

Though I know you're not saying those deals will get done, you don't think there are deals more likely than Love? Is it possible for this franchise to take a glimpse at Love's contract and have any desire at all to move for him?

$24M this year at age 30.
$29M next year at age 31.
$31M 2020-2021 at age 32.
$31M 2021-2022 at age 33.
$29M 2022-2023 at age 34.

You are almost certainly correct, but I could see the Jazz taking him if someone else takes Porter.

I think he'd be awesome for us now... but I'm a hard no. That contract could usher in a new era of Jazz basketball... in another state. I feel like on most deals that I'd be more likely to pull the trigger than DL, so I'd find it hard to believe he'd ever pull the trigger.

I'm a hard no as well, but it's also a trade I could probably talk myself into if I had to for the sake of my happiness.

That's a lot of money but at least he is healthy now and not injury prone at all... oh wait

I'm out on Love. I think the narrative surrounding him is that LBJ hurt his production... I think he was good, but the 25/12 Love is gone and that the Minny Kevin Love was a little bit of inflated stats on mediocre teams. Cleveland Kevin Love is still really good. I just think his biggest value is as a stretch big and we can get that cheaper elsewhere. He does more (good offensive rebounder and passer) but I don't think you can throw him the ball and have him get a bucket. His defense isn't great... it isn't Kanter levels of terrible though either.

If the choices were Love for expirings or Marvin and a pick for expirings... give me Marvin. Not sure either trade is available.
