Rubio liked Mirotic's puzzle piece tweet. lol

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

portis can ball + porter's contract is way too pricy for someone who doesn't do much outside of 3 and D. I'd agree WAS will be the winner of this trade if they manage to keep both Satoransky and Portis in the summer.

I wouldn't mind taking a flier on Josh Jackson from Phoenix if it costs a 2nd-rd pick or two.

He's not being traded for that little. Neither he, nor TJ Warren.

Yeah I'm being a little bit sarcastic here, but I'll be very disappointed if we put the same team on the floor pretty much 3 years in a row. I love Favors, but the guy has to go. He's never developing range.

These types of comments solidify how underrated Favors is and what he provides for this team. Sure there's a case to be made that a stretch 4 could be a better fit (I'm skeptical defensively and about our backup C minutes), but to just be sick of a good, productive player on the team is selling him so short.

Woj is reporting that Houston is picking up Iman Shumpert from Sacto in a three-team deal. Cleveland is the third team.

Why the fascination with Mirotic? From all accounts he’s a bit of a dick. His teammates don’t like him. Why bring him into a tight knit locker room? I’m still pissed about Mark Jackson essentially making Stockton’s last year miserable.

"Cause he can shoot" Even though he isn't even shooting THAT much better than Crowder this year.

Do Jazz have a game tonight?

Yes. A trap game against Phoenix where we will be distracted by the trade deadline.

AB to Sacramento... he's not gonna get playing time there... sorry AB.

 

[candrew]

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

Exactly - paying that kind of money for a guy who has not proven he can carry any type of offensive load and can't get to the line? No thanks.

Pissed that we didnt get Jabari, but happy for Jabari. He gets to finally showcase his talent.

A lot of people around here gonna be feeling pretty dumb when they see what he does in Washington. I dont see how they pull the same nonsense as Chicago.

Pretty sure this gets Boylen fired too. That dude is so trash.
