2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

[Jingled]

Serious question: when was the last time a Jazz trade rumor ended up happening? Korver, Crowder, and Rubio came out of nowhere, IIRC.

You're right about Korver and Crowder coming out of nowhere. I definitely remember there being rumors about Rubio a week or two before that trade happened.

I seem to remember hearing about Rubio and Korver a day or two before they happened, but beyond that I can't think of one. Didn't happen with the Deron trade. Even the Boozer signing all those years ago was a blindside.

I also remember there being a lot of talk about the Al Jefferson deal before it actually happened.

I’m mildly interested in Garrett Temple. Would give us another switchy defender, 1-3.

I’m really not amped for a Conley deal. It’s like 1/10th as exciting as the idea of getting OP Jr, Aaron Gordon, or Jrue.

The past day every time I log into Jazzfanz it's like Christmas as I am hoping to see a thread posted of a trade that just went down.

Why does everyone love this guy? A career GLeaguer.

Don't think OP Jr is that exciting. 24m a year (or something) for a player who's worse than Favors, but happens to be a better fit. Jrue would be amazing. Conley is great, but his contract, age, and injuries scare the **** out of me.

I’m pretty sure the Al thing was from the millers

Love who?

Always liked him... he’s cooled off a bit from his fast start but really good defender and good vet presence.

I think Gordon is a touch overrated. Cooled a bit on Porter... the difference between Conley and the dudes you mention is age... which is the concern I’d have. Conley could be good here but in 1-2 years you are still looking for that 3rd piece. The other guys fit the timeline much better.
