2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

So Harris is gone. So is Porter. So is Parker. So is Barnes. And Porzingis. Wow. So what’s left... Conley. Lowry. Niko. None of them make us that much stronger. Not if we’re losing a combination of Rubio and Favors or Exum for them. Now I hope we don’t make a move at all until the off season. Unless there’s a serious, out of nowhere blockbuster trade that we don’t know about. Blake Griffin or Beal.

Who do we realistically have a shot at getting in the off season that's better than Conley?

At this point... no one. Which is too bad. Conley it is. Or Lowry. Still both better than Rubio imo. But what’s disappointing is that the big boys might see the potential in joying Rudy and DM here, but they’d still rather go play somewhere else. Even Conley doesn’t want to be here. And it’s not just the Western Conference excuse. But just imagine KD here. Or Leonard. Or Kay Thomson. I think we reach the finals. And you can’t say that about many teams. We are truly a player away - and it hurts.
 
I was sure we were gonna get a deal done SOMEWHERE... but Ive been reminded of the incompetence and stupidity of the FOs DL is trying to deal with.

We aren't getting any established stars. It's just been the historical trend of this franchise. What we always have done is acquiring guys with high upside either through the draft(Malone, Stockton, AK, Deron, Gobert, Mitchell) or through free agency(Boozer, Okur) and let them develop into the stars we need. Stars don't wanna come here? No problem. Just make your own stars.

It's a realistic strategy that's proven to work for small market franchises time and time again. And I don't see why we can't get a guy with high upside like Satoransky and hope he develops into the star we need.
 
I'm ok with not swinging for the fences on Conley.

I hope the Jazz are kicking every tire possible on Jrue Holiday though, even if the Pellies say he's not being traded.

Will he be a RFA? Washington matched for Porter Jr. No reason to think they wouldn't match for Satoransky. They could then trade him later. I'm betting they won't keep Parker; he has a team option for next year. They're now in decent shape salary-wise: $65K for Wall and Beal, but can fill out the roster nicely, even if they have to overpay for Satoransky.
