2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

[infection]

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

Bird rights. As well as try-before-you-buy.

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

DL does get tunnel vision with the draft and apparently trades now. Could be good... we get the guys we want... could be bad... we let opportunists pass us by.

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.

Yeah, take a player with multiple years left or package the pick to get a really good player. No reason to trade a first to get a guy you can sign in the off season.

Every move forward comes at a cost. We, as fans, always look at that cost as a negative, or an opportunity cost. As YB always said, flexibility can’t dribble a basketball.

If the Jazz need bird rights to keep Niko it means he's getting way overpaid and the Jazz shouldn't do it.

Fair point.

BUT, by giving up an Allen/Koufos/Maynor you get to sell yourself to Mirotic and get first crack at him as a FA.

You’d sacrifice the crappy/throwaway player to increase your odds of resigning him.

He comes for the MLE? He’s not worth $15M? What if we re-sign Ricky? No room for Niko...

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.

I would have liked this but I don't want anybody confusing it for me liking GSW. They won't even be challenged if they remain healthy. Gotta pray some of their player leave after this season, otherwise this will continue until someone does leave.

Is this the start of the "we like our guys" line?

 

[NUMBERICA]

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.

We agree.

I am absolutely confounded. And yes, most of my posts have been about this because it is a big deal.

Craig Bolerjack doesn’t pay any attention then.

This team is bad ***, but it isn’t a contender.

Yeah. Pretty obvious that Conley isn't and probably shouldn't be traded for at point. I wouldn't be shocked if we move Thabo+1st for someone else before the deadline, but I don't think Rubio or Favors are getting traded today.
