2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

[radiohegel]

I see what you are trying to say, but I disagree completely. Mitchell is our #1 guy and has been since middle of last year. So for a year, he has been our future superstar. Gobert is big for us too and is signed for the long haul. They work together and we have proven to win the last two years.

JJJ has shown that he belongs in the league, but he's not the reason they win or lose. He isn't a budding superstar like Donovan. They are a losing franchise even when completely healthy. And they are old. They lack a 1st rounder too. JJJ doesn't look like the guy to put a franchise on his back. If Memphis can clear the books and get a ton of draft compensation, who knows....

Do I think Memphis would trade him? No. But a man can dream.

I think you're underestimating JJJ. The kid is a really special talent.

I agree. That's why I want him. However, I don't see him on the same level as Mitchell or even near it. Jaren looks like a great player for a long time. Mitchell is the type guy who changes your franchise both on and off the court.

If we offered multiple 1st round picks, took their bad contracts, and sent them Exum and Bradley, maybe they listen. Maybe they don't. Memphis is a mess right now.

I'd say JJJ's odds of developing into an MVP caliber player are at least as good as Don's. Meant in no way to disrespect Donovan. I think if you called up and offered Donovan for JJJ, they hang up. The inverse is also likely true, given how strongly Donovan has taken to Utah and vice versa.

JJJ is viewed as a super-star potential player. They arent trading him to get off contracts.

Getting off contracts would only be part of the equation. Sending them multiple 1st rounders and players they might like would also be part of the concept.

But I still have acknowledged that it's probably a pipe dream.

All so that we can trade cash considerations for Shelving Mack.

Remember when there was rumors during the draft that we were putting together a package to move up to get JJJ? ****!

Cap space and picks. Memphis was wanting to move down if somebody took Parsons' contract. We could have done that. It might have taken a few 2nd rounders, our first, maybe another protected first and we would have lost Favors and maybe Thabo, but JJJ would have been worth it.

If we are looking to trade with the Grizzlies, we should offer them anything humanly possible to get Jaren Jackson Jr. I literally would take that awful Parsons contract and send back multiple first round picks. And send Exum. Send Bradley. I don't care.

I’m 100% certain we have nothing they want want other than Rudy and DM, maybe.

I don’t know quite yet if he’s on DM’s level, but the potential is there

I don’t recall any rumors?
