2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

[LogGrad98]

The jazz have ONE target, and ONE price. Can't deviate. Happy to stay mediocre if they can't get they one guy at that one price. smfh

Jazz should not trade first round picks unless they get something that has real chance to move them forward. IMHO Mirotic (or Saric if the guy's available) does not check.

Or they are waiting for this deal in order to make another one. We don't know

And the dude’s salary is in the way of that, so...

Does it really? If we are to believe recent reports, Memphis wanted Exum. If all that stands between us and a star is 9,6 million in salary, that is a problem that is easily solvable.

Here's my biggest beef: we have a lottery ticket. There's a possibility it could be a winner. If we walk out of the gas station and someone offers us $100 for the lottery ticket, we rebuff them because, hey, this could be the winner. Never mind that we could go in and buy 100 more lottery tickets, it's possible that that ticket is the winner. I feel like we get attached to our assets and don't value them rationally.

GS isn't mortal. They look it either. Aren't they on a huge winning streak right now? I think they beat the Spurs by like 40 last night

No one is beating a healthy warriors team in the playoffs.

Rockets pushed them to 7 last year and were up 3-2 on them. If Paul doesn't get injured, watch out.

I'm not saying I would bet against GSW, but it can be done.

Why do people believe that Saric is available? Why would the Wolves just trade him and his Niang-like salary? He was the cherry of the Butler trade. I mean if we are speculating on people that aren't available, might as well be slotting Glannis as our power forward. . .

He’s coming off the bench, isn’t thriving, seems to have some fit issues, ...

You’d give up a first for what could end up as 30 games of Mirotic, though?

I'm sure Utah is capable of discussing other trades.

Utah isnt going to trade a first for Mitotic, regardless of any outcome with Conley.

I always wonder about philosophies like this...”Utah won’t trade a first...”

With Mitchell and Gobert, where does that first most likely end up? In the 20’s. What are the odds of getting a rotation player there, let alone a starter who has a skill set and size like Mirotic?

I’d bet less than 5%.

Yet a first in the 20’s is a dealbreaker.

That’s just...dumb.

Look, I have $250,000 in one hand, but I’m going to give it back so I can have one lottery ticket that has a minuscule shot at winning 10 million, but I’ll probably be left with nothing.

Smh. Late first round picks are worthless. Always take the player.

Teague is a worse/equally bad get as Reggie Jackson.

They barely even play Saric and he's a bad fit with KAT. You might be right though, but taking back bad contracts is a no-no.

I think Teague is on the level as a player but the maturity stuff that comes along with Jackson is rough.

Part of the value in getting Saric would be his low cap amount... taking on contracts to makeup the value is probably not good... was spit balling more than anything. He’s worth more than a first... not sure how to makeup that value to get them some urgency.

LOL at the people bitching that we have "wasted all of our assets!" then insisting that we trade a first for Mirotic.

I don’t think trading a Grayson Allen or a Scott Padgett or a Eric Maynor or a Koufos for Mirotic is a waste.

Covington was a bigger get... Saric is coming off the bench playing like 20 minutes a night... not sure he is a fit with KAT... I think maybe comparing him to an mvp candidate is just a touch of exaggeration fella.
