2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

[MDAV28]

Just please trade Favors. I don't care if you trade him for a bad contract and a pick. Please just trade him. I can't stand another summer when DL gives us the whole "we were aggressive but nothing was available" garbage.

If we get into summer with Favors on the roster, we are going to pick up his option because we are going to strike out in free agency yet again. Then the same damn rotation next year where we seem like we are going to trade him at the deadline.

This is so frustrating.

LOL

 

[MDAV28]

The Jazz could have beat this offer. Either they have something else in mind, or there were some red flags with Porter. They were certainly not caught off guard here.

Or Porter and his deal wasn't worth giving up an asset...

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

That’s all it took for Otto?? Good lord

I thought the asking price for Otto Porter was supposed to be high. That's pretty much a salary dump.

 

[TheStormofWar]

At least I don't have to read rampaging wet dreams about Parker to Utah for a few more months.

 

[LoPo]

LOL

You know I'm right.

If Favors doesn't get traded, there is a 99% chance we pick up his option. So that means we have about $14 million of cap room. Then we say, do we keep Rubio or do we get somebody else? By the time we ask that question, good free agents are gone and we re-sign Rubio.

Treading water man, treading water.

 

[MDAV28]

Kinda, kinda not. It's a weird deal, it kind of defies simple reasoning. I think?

I think they want to try out Parker. I think they view him as a potential longterm piece. I also have a thing for Bobby Portis.

The more I think about it, the more I like it for the Wizards. However, I think they could've probably done better and all of their hot-air about the matter is just so, so dumb.

You didn't have to trade Otto to try him out. Ariza?

If I were Philadelphia, I’d trade Jimmy Butler to Houston for the four first round picks.

I don't know you're right. But I'm really hoping you're wrong.

I'm still on that Dante For an Expiring Stretch 4 wagon so we can hopefully address a lot of our mistakes in one move.

Sure if Jazz can't find a suitor in FA, they have set themselves up to retain a very good player in Favors and try again next offseason. The LOL is just trading him to trade him. Glad we don't have an impulsive FO.

 

[Bawse Dawg]

So Otto Porter ended up being worth basically nothing.

I wish we would've beat that offer.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Chicago could still trade Porter by himself. Washington must really like Portis. Or maybe Jabari. Nobody knows.

The Wizards reportedly expressed interest in Favors. I guess they'll settle for Portis.

 

[416Klawzz]

Still a chance for Niko, I think the jazz get him before the deadline is done

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

K so rumors are Otto isn't available and asking price is high... then it was like hey they might move him and then they move him for that????

I have to think with all the smoke we had around Otto that we were still interested. Ricky or Favs plus Grayson or a pick is better than what they got.

They have to pay both of those guys this offseason if they want to retain them... Wiz gonna Wiz man.

I think you do, though (they don't know that Parker gets bought out, and have much less certainty that he chooses to sign with them). Worst-case scenario, they get to get out of OPj's contract and save face about it being a move for Parker (a stealth salary dump).

Billy King rollin all over his grave(in chuck barkley's deep voice)

Honestly Favors might have made them too good. They should try to be real real bad.

 

[One Brow]

Just please trade Favors. ... This is so frustrating.

So, the answer to frustration is to make the team worse?

 

[slc]

Donovan Mitchell is Jazz golden ticket to recruiting next year.
There will not be enough roster spots for all the players who want to play with DM and Rudy

Exactly though, you don't salary dump a player that is a positive asset. I believe the Jazz were with me on this, Faves and Thabo for Porter, no pick or asset.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Wrong

Washington just robbed Chicago.

Great deal for Washington.

They downgraded Porter to Parker in order to gain some financial flexibility this summer.
