2020 NBA trade deadline discussion

Can't do any first round trade until we give Mem the first round pick we owed to them
I am aware... which is why he’s not in our range.
 
Some of our draft picks have just been baffling. Like how can we pride ourselves so much on player development and then pick guys like Grayson Allen over Anfernee Simons and Mitchell Robinson? Lyles was another boring pick with meh upside, but that luckily worked out in a roundabout way. Robinson may have had some character concerns, but I think it was mostly about him decommitting from his college, which who cares? At least Denver has taken risks on high upside guys, like Michael Porter Jr and Bol Bol. I bet Bol has more trade value than any of our young guys and he might snap in half before playing an NBA game.
We don't need Conley have we drafted Devonte Graham. We don't need Ed Davis have we drafted Mitchell Robinson. Well, we don't need Ed right now since we've got Bradley
 
Portis would not be a joke. He would be a good solid 4/5 off the bench providing size underneath we are lacking. And in all reality there isn’t much I wouldn’t want the jazz to try out with how badly Davis has looked as of late. That guy is straight ****ing butterfingers. I hate watching him play. It’s too bad but that’s the nature of the beast when making trades or picking up new acquisitions in the off-season. I still feel like our top six are solid. It’s players 7-9. Portis would be a good number 7. Maybe 8 and 9 can be found down the stretch off our bench or from the buyout market. Bertans would be a good snag this summer but no way Washington deals him for less than a first. No.... portis is our shooting for the stars given our dilemma.

The reason Portis might not be a joke is that the Jazz had scheduled to meet with him in free agency last summer and then canceled on short notice when Bogdanovic said he was interested in the Jazz. So there was recent mutual interest.

The Jazz picked up a couple of 2nd-round picks when they moved Favors to NOLA, which they can toss into a deal.
 
Keep an eye on NOLA having a yard sale. Their season is done at this point. They could move JJ Redick and could possibly be convinced to move Josh Hart.
Exum, Bradley, and two second rounders for Redick.
