2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

LogGrad98 said:
I really don't know, but I just really want to at least hear they threw a big trade offer for so-and-so or we see it go down even if it bombs. Or we publicly offer big to a tier 1 player, or high tier 2 (like was discussed about PG) even if he totally rejects us. Because at least we can see they tried something

Yeah the team is fun to watch but I want nothing more than to see a championship in my lifetime. With these non-moves we always seem to make we'll as the norm, I likely never will.

It does take time... look at GS pre-KD... multiple moves and draft picks had to work out. We aren’t one move away imo... like the move doesn’t currently exist in reality... making moves to get closer is still beneficial.

We also need to see if KD bolts... then it makes more sense to push up the timeline imo.
 


Kyrie and Lebron getting back together???? Boston gonna trade him???

Completely unfounded, but I would laugh so hard if Kyrie left Boston this offseason to reunite with King James.
 
Seems like a lot of people here haven't watched TJ Warren much which is fine because the Suns are hot garbage most of the time, but I just want to reiterate that TJ Warren wouldn't be anything more than a backup 3/4 on the Jazz who brings a scoring punch off the bench, and if the price is too high for that then they're not going to go get him (and the price would likely be high since he's one of the few assets the Suns have).

But if he's there for the right price he'd be a solid piece for the bench unit, and I think it's a bit unfair to just label TJ Warren as a guy who only gets buckets because someone's gotta score when he's shooting a 58 TS% (higher than Porter and Conley fwiw) on a team where they run two 2nd round rookie PGs as their PG rotation and their best playmaker is their 2 guard who prefers to shoot himself and has missed a number of games due to injury. You can knock his defensive ability or his ability to make his teammates better all you want as they are more than valid criticisms, but he isn't some volume chucker like a number of you are suggesting.

Too lazy to pull and reply to the post, but no way we should or need to give Favs/Exum AND a pick for OPJ.

I love the dude but we would be helping them off that salary, giving them a true and flexible asset in Favs and another young kid with a decent contract in Exum. Giving them a 1st as well is ridiculous.

You save that for Conley....

And then send a 2nd round pick in 2028 for Noah Vonleh to add 4-5 depth you lose.

*Vonleh is my version of OPJ for Cy*
 
Watched part of the Orlando Washington game... OP Jr. doesn’t look quite right to me... might be playing with lingering pain... I came away from the game wanting Terrence Ross more than OP... just one game... maybe he’s player tanking to get out of town.

Also Orlando sucks.

I’m off the OP Jr. bandwagon. He just cannot stay healthy. At his salary, I’m not sure that it’s worth the risk to give up assets and lock in salary long term. I’d hope the Jazz could aim for a more dynamic player or one with higher upside.

You can "aim" all you want, but reality sets in pretty fast. Porter's combination of length, age, 3 point shooting is about as good as your're going to find without giving up DM or Gobert.
