1)If LMA leaves(it seems that he will) Can the Blazers rebuild before Lillard's next contract is up?

2)Do the Jazz have the Assets to tempt a trade?

3)Would Lillard be worth it? Would the Jazz have enough left over to contend in the west?
 
I doubt they would consider moving him as he is still young, but it would take an absurd package to bring him in.

Probably Exum, Hood, multiple picks as a starting point.
 
I would throw every pick we're allowed at a player of his caliber but wouldn't include any player assets. The Jazz need 5 legitimate borderline all stars plus a deep bench to sniff a championship. They have 3, Lillard would be a bonafide all star, so maybe that would be enough in a couple year's time with internal growth.

Lyles, 2015 unprotected, 2017 unprotected, 2019 protected, 2017 GSW, whatever OKC's 1st ends up being, and I'm all in.

No chance Portland considers it without Exum.
 
Damion
Hood
T. Harris
Favors
Gobert

That's a top 3 team. Favors and Gobert are so good defensively that we need someone who sucks at defense and scores 20 a night. We'd be unreal with that player.

If they wait the whole 5 years teams like the Jazz won't offer them anything. We won't buy a rental. At best a big market team screws them but more likely he walks for nothing.

I guess my point is Exum will be better than Lillard before that. IMO by the end of his third year. At that point, Exum will be 22 yrs old and Lillard will be 27. So it would be insane to give up players like Hayward or Hood to get him.

I hope your right.

Tbh, I would trade Burks, Exum, Lyles, Burke, Booker,(that should take care of the salary) plus picks for Lillard.

Lillard
Hood
Hayward
Favors
Gobert
 
Short stack lol
 
I don't get why people are so concerned about a guy who scores 20 a night's defense.

You give us Carmello and we have a top 5 defense and are a top 3 team in the West. If you're a guard, have Gobert and Favors behind you and can score 25 a night, you don't play defense. You rest on that end of the court. And you compete for titles.

Players like Gobert, Hayward, Hood, Burks...those are the guys that have to play defense. Not stars.
