Deng Mozgov

Yes, they'd add a lot of salary to our mix.

I see the Lakers are looking to salary dump Loel Deng and Tim Mozgov. Would they add anything to the Jazz mix?

I'm glad you started this thread. I almost did yesterday, but I could feel Cy waiting to slap me electronically.

I like Mozgov, but we don't need him for his cost since we have Gobert. Honestly, I would seriously consider a trade for Luol Deng. I've always liked him. He's declining and he's on an awful contract, but it's not fair to blame his production last year on him when that team was so young and bad. In a system, he could be a poor man's Iggy.

The only way I take Deng is for the following - D'Angelo Russell, a future 1st rounder OR Julius Randle, and Deng for Burks and Diaw or maybe Favors and Diaw.

LA does it to shed Deng. They are looking to trade Russell right now just to get into the top 12. Burks makes $7 per year less than Deng and he's only got 2 more years where Deng has 3. To convince LBJ and George to come to town, they are going to have to shed Deng's contract. If they insist on Favors' expiring deal, we could get even more.

If we lose Hayward, just imagine this lineup as a consolation:

PG and SG interchangeably Exum and Russell
SF Hood
PF Randle, Lyles, Bolomboy
C Gobert

Not a bad little rebuild...

That lineup would probably be a big reason why we would lose Hayward.

Better than:

Exum
Hood
?
Favors
Gobert

Remember, this trade idea of mine is IF HAYWARD LEAVES

I saw a troubling stat regarding Favors. There was a year when the legendary Henry Simms played for the god awful Sixers and put up similar numbers to Fav. This is the guy whose team in the DLeague had a losing record. Very concerning.

Not bad? That's ****ing horrible. Unless your trying to get the 1st pick in the draft, then good job. We go from a defensive minded team to a sieve. Play Hood and Russell or Exum out of position, and add a PF who doesn't play much defense. Gobert is great on defense but he can't guard 4 of the 5 guys. The only defender on your starting lineup not named Gobert is Exum. and you don't have hardly any shooting on that lineup either.

No it's not better. It's younger, but it's far from better.

My lineup was the response to the person who said the trade idea (Deng, Russell and Randle) wasn't worth it. If we can get Russell and Randle for expirings after losing Hayward for nothing, I do it.
 
Deng and Russel for Westbrook works.

I figure it is only a matter of days before Westbrook pulls a Paul george, and announces he wont resign and wants to go to LA.

Westbrook and Paul George would be fun to watch.
 
Too late Mozgov and Russel just got traded to Brooklyn for Brook Lopez and the Nets 27th pick.

The Lakers now have the 2, 27, and 28 picks.
 
The bad news is that this makes the LBJ to LA 2018 more realistic. Could push Hayward into going to the East.
 
The Jazz really got to hope some team gets in a 3-way deal with Cleveland/Indy to take Love and combine offer more than what LA can give up to get George.

Our deal is better than what they are being offered imo

This is a great point... CP3 goes to SA.... LBJ on the horizon with Ball, Ingram and PG in LA... Philly not quite ready out in the East... Minny up and coming in the West

Conferences are stupid.
