A Big Move on the Horizon?

[Coach Ellis]

Also, Utah wants to see what Exum can do now that he finally has a full off season to train. And I think the FO started drooling when they saw Exum and Mitchell on the court together.

As of right now I think Exum and Mitchell are a big part of the future.

People might be forgetting how young the Jazz still are.

Mitchell - 20
Exum - 22
Hood - 24
Gobert - 25
Favors - 25
Rubio - 26

Average age of that core is 23.6

Outside of that young core you have this group of key players. . .

Joe Ingles - 29
Ekpe Udoh - 30
Jonas Jerebko - 30
Thabo Sefalosha - 33
Joe Johnson - 36

Average age of this group of bench players is 31.6 years old. Jingles is the only guy likely to be here after two seasons. The Jazz are building towards that offseason. They'll likely keep Hood and Exum next year. No idea what happens to Favors. IMO, he's the biggest wildcard on the team. If he's healthy and close to where he was two years ago. . . this team could be pretty damn incredible.

The Sefalosha and Jerekbo contracts can be used as expirings at the trade deadline or next offseason. I don't see both of those guys being in Utah for more than 1 year honestly.

Burks is only 25 as well

 

[Miggs]

Burks is only 25 as well

Who?

 

[fishonjazz]

Who?

He is a guy who once upon a time played well enough for the jazz to sign him to a long term deal.
Still under contract for the utah jazz for multiple years, though many people like yourself have forgotten that.

As long as he is under contract with the utah jazz I will consider him a part of the team. Sorry.

Fish may be the only poster who still has real estate on Burks Island. He ain't selling low. I sold most of my property but still have a condo there just in case.

Jesus Joe is skewing the mean quite a bit there. . .

 

[infection]

Jesus Joe is skewing the mean quite a bit there. . .

I think he meant to say the average age was 428 years.

 

[Magic Spray]

Jesus Joe is skewing the mean quite a bit there. . .

JJ within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

average age without JJ: 30.5
average age with JJ: 31.6

JJ pushes the average up 13 months, 6 days.

I believe you meant to say Joe Jesus.

I like Burks, he is exciting to watch. But he just doesn't feel like he fits this team. Part of that is his play style and part is him just not being healthy enough to play.

Fish may be the only poster who still has real estate on Burks Island. He ain't selling low. I sold most of my property but still have a condo there just in case.

For me Burks Island is a nice play to visit for a weekend but I'm not buying any property.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I think the Rockets would do this trade in a heartbeat.
I think the Jazz would be very interested.
Detroit probably wouldn't be excited to give up 2 starters for 1. And the Knicks probably wouldn't want to lose Melo and a first round pick. Houston not having 1st rounders to send Detroit's way might doom that deal.

I think there have been rumors about them trying to dump Reggie Jackson. There was a rumor they where trying to trade him to NOLA for Alexis Ajinca and Etwaun Moore.
