For those wanting to trade Marvin/Jefferson to contender

I think Marvin has some trade value. Jefferson is just an expiring contract that the jazz are inexplicably playing like they actually want to be paying him the money he is getting.

I don't care if they go to a contender, a pretender, or whatever team they trade them to. The big thing for me is that they are valuable pieces to some kind of a trade, even if it is only because they are expiring contracts that can be used by teams looking to sign melo this summer.

I think the most likely trade for Jeff or Rush or Marvin is to a contender wanting a vet back up for the stretch run. No one in a lottery position will take these guys for a pick but a contender might IF they fit a glaring weakness or fill a void caused by injury. I don't think a partial year of salary is too much for a team in that position. Not saying it will happen but IMO the most likely scenario for them to be traded.

Have you ever inquired into the rules of NBA trades? It's fun braugh. Try it.
 
Best case scenario is to trade Marvin for something of value because some team wants him to fill a role for a playoff run. He's played well so far this year and is probably the top asset that the Jazz have right now.

The only way Jefferson gets traded is if the Jazz take on a worse contract with more years. It would be worth considering taking a two year deal in exchange for his expiring deal (similar to the Harris for Marvin trade), but ONLY if a 1st round pick is coming back for doing that. Anything less than that and it's just better to let him expire. IMO, the Jazz should use their 2014 cap space to buy assets like last year, and then look at Free Agency in 2015 when they have a better idea of who the team is actually built around.
 
If they must be a contender, then Marv to OKC for the abysmal Kendrick Perkins makes sense and they have some picks that they won't have enough time to develop anyway (which the Jazz would absolutely have to collect assets for that extra year).
 
Marv to the Grizzlies for Tayshaun Prince would make some sense if the Jazz get some assets back too, but I'm not sure what those would be (Jamal Franklin and... a second rounder [MAYBE a first])?
