2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

Also, with Tobias the thing that needs to happen is we clearly need to be better than the clips. So things are trending in a direction that we could end up being the team with though pre-season. Good showing in the playoffs and he looks at that PF spot and says " if this team won 50 without me... has young guys getting better... now they add me... how good will it be?" Meanwhile Clips are having meetings with KD, Kawhi, Jimmy Butler?, Kyrie?... It might be easy to say... 4 year max on the table with a good young up and coming team... "I'm in".

LA weather is nice... but these guys want to win and get respect. I think he is gettable if we finish strong. When we were struggling it made me really worry about our ability in FA. I'm feeling a bit better about our chances now. Still a long shot, but I think he has more upside than I would have guessed.

It'd be great if **** was that logical. Paul George would have joined the Lakers and they would have been the 2nd best team in the West. Or he would have joined the Jazz and they would have been the 2nd best team in the West. Utah is undeniably the best fit for Harris unless the Lakers want him.

Im pretty confident the Clippers won't make the playoffs. Their guard and big play isnt good enough and their best offensive players are bottom 10 percentile defenders.

LA is still LA though and he might wait on them. And if the Clippers miraculously get two stars (I'm very skeptical), then the Lakers might sign Tobias Harris because the star market will be that much thinner.

Any way we could get Sweet Lou from the Clips?

I think it would be within the realm of possibility, but he is such a sieve on defense I don't think Utah would want him.

He's also a career 37% from the field and 25% from 3 in 52 playoff games.

I don't think Utah's offense is bad enough where you have to sacrifice that much defense and playoff viability to get scoring.

One thing I wonder... we are close to having the 32M max salary open but not quite there. Would need to renounce some smaller salaries if we got a yes.... Niang, Neto options not picked up. I wonder if we move Bradley or our pick... maybe Neto if we don't plan on picking up the option. All those things can be done in the summer, but I just wonder if we make a super small salary move to set things up.

Trade Bradley to whichever team has a TPE or injury exception and get a second rounder.

I agree. If everyone is healthy, Lou wouldn't see the floor.

I mean when even I approved of the trade you know it must have been a good one.

To be fair though I don't think the reactions were all that mixed. I know hack hated the trade but he is an idiot. I think thee hated it. Who else though?
I think like 80% of jazzfanz thought it was a good trade for the jazz

I mean, yeah Hack is the only person who outright hated it, but a decent number of people thought we overpaid.

I didn't like that we gave up 2 picks for a player who'll, at most, play for one more season. But in retrospect, he's been good for us, and it's been worth it.
