A Big Move on the Horizon?

I wonder if the Jazz would consider moving Exum. I thought his playing in Summer League might have been in part a move to show some trade value. I think the Jazz still like him, but they'd move him in an opportune deal, especially with the way Mitchell has been playing with the ball in his hands.

The Spurs like Exum. The Suns might like him too.

Exum asked to play, not the other way around. This eliminates your theory.

Here is the Detroit instead of Cleveland version.

NYK sends Detroit it's first round pick.

And I know it seems like Detroit is probably giving up a lot w/o getting much back, but I'm pretty sure they are actively trying to dump Reggie Jackson.

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.
 
Favors is a serious downgrade from Love. Let's be real. He'd be a slight upgrade defensively maybe. But it would be a huge hit to their spacing and overall offense. Favors doesn't help them beat Golden St. Who is he taking away defensively? Zaza?

Favors is a good rim protector, something that Cavs doesnt have. Hard for Favors + Thompson to play together but he is certainly not a downgrade from Love, unless he is injured like always

Kevin Love is a 2x All NBA selection, a 4x All Star, he has career averages of 18.4 PPG, 11.5 RPG, 44.2 FG%, 36.4 3ptFG% and 82.0 FT%
Derrick Favors is a 0x All NBA selection, a 0x All Star, he has career averages of 11.4 PPG, 7.2 RPG, 51.0 FG%, 15.4 3ptFG% and 66.4 FT%

I like Favors. But please. It would be a serious downgrade that a miniscule improvement to rim protection wouldn't cover for. The Cavs can get someone on the vet minimum for rim protection. What they really need is better perimeter and team defense if they want to beat GSW.

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

Exum has more value to the Jazz than he does to any other team.
