Nikola Mirotic

I doubt the Jazz can get him. The Bulls have no need for Favors and they can get more in a trade. Mirotic might be the most sought after player in the trade market currently. Wouldn't be suprised to see some contender give up a 1st round pick for him. What can Utah really give up that the Bulls want? Even if you were willing to put Hood in, they have LaVine (who is just a higher upside version of what Hood brings). Who knows though, maybe they really like Hood. That would probably be the only way the Jazz can get him (unless they want to trade a pick).

Oh, and Mirotic has veto rights on any trade, so he might not even want to come to Utah.

My only concern was the run in with Portis and his apparent attitude issues. Gotta be careful with our tight-nit locker room.

I think it was misguided competitiveness. He seems to rub people the wrong way sometimes... I read something he said after a game and I thought this guy seems like an *** sometimes... then I watched they actual interview and I think it is in part due to English not being his first language. It just kind of comes out weird.

Yeah I don’t think so either but my statement holds true.

In any case, which contenders do you think would want him?

Here is how you do this... which contenders have a first and matching expirings to give? i think he will value playing time as much or more than anything... so which contenders have a path to starter minutes or close to it?

I don't think there is a huge market for him. I don't think it will take Hood and Favs. I agree they likely wouldn't want Favs, but it can expand to a three team deal where the team that wants Favs can give up something.

They might try to offload RoLo in the deal too... that would be very hard for us to do.

1. I think it will take Hood
2. I doubt they are trying to offload anyone. They are barely at the salary floor as is.
3. He said he would accept any trade to a contender
4. No team wants Favors that much to give the Bulls anything to complete a 3 team trade. The center trade market is just too stacked.
 
Only if they can package him with Bobby Portis, lol.

Why are they shopping him? Relatively cheap. Team option next year. He's performing way above his pay grade.

If they can find a way to dump Lopez then they're in great shape cap wise - even if LaVine gets a huge RFA offer.

Because they want to lose and he is making them win games.
 
Until he accepts a trade to a contender, it's pretty moot. Also, if he likes that 12.5 million, going to a contender is probably a bad idea.

Then again, maybe he's positive that he's worth more than that (at which point, he won't make more because it's a team option and it will be exercised).

But again, what contender has that salary to trade that isn't trying to dump dead weight in the deal (and thus, raising what they have to send out?).
 
Yesterday Mirotic had 18 and 10 in only 19 minutes and didnt play the final 6 minutes of the 4th or OT.

That has to be a FO call.
