Nikola Mirotic

Take the bird in hand.

SOB we're also using the same analogies.

Hell hath frozen over.

What do you prefer a stretch 4 in the draft or mirotic?

This draft does not have many stretch 4s. Porter, Bridges, not sure there are any others worth mentioning. Musa is a 3 to me even though he is tall.

I would absolutely not trade our first unless it was highly protected and would not convey until next year. They also get AB in that type of deal if it is me.

Exum likely complements our core about as much as Mirotic does.

A PG with mediocre vision, mediocre passing ability, and is a **** shooter?

So...Mirotic can't be traded until the 15th but they could still agree on something. Might be interesting to see who, if anyone, doesn't play in some upcoming games as we get closer. If the Jazz do make a deal and Favors is included that could leave us pretty short handed temporarily.

You mean like Mirotic not playing tonight? He has a stomach bug I guess.

I think he'll be better than he's been. His chemistry with Mitchell was palpable.

There is no way the Jazz should give up a first, since the Bulls have already made their intention to trade him. Jazz have a boatload of seconds and some expiring contracts. I don't want to include Exum either because his value is really low and I'd rather wait to see him play before using him in a trade.

With the direction we’ve headed this season I’m not okay giving up this years first round pick. I don’t want to see Exum leave either. Mitchell is amazing, and Dante still dominated everyone in summer league. Exum is going to be a good player if he can stay healthy. I would be very upset to see Exum go anywhere. Exum will be good, he just needs to stay on the court. He’s still extremely young and very talented. If we give up a pick I would prefer it weren’t this years but I can see why you would do it as well considering DL has held on to all the Jazz first round picks going forward giving up one isn’t a huge deal but if it’s possible to do it without giving it up it’d be better for sure.

Exum is a new breed Rubio. Except his version is constantly injured. I'll pass.

I would be more excited about the trade if the Jazz were in playoff contention but I think Mirotic can be a valuable piece on this team.

Would anyone honestly think that if next week Gobert and Mirotic we’re starting that we wouldn’t be in playoff contention? I think people forget that we’ve been missing Gobert while we suck. Now, if we roll out Gobert/Favors/Rubio then that’s a different story.

I can tell you that a very real concern is that you SPEND ASSETS to get a guy that can just walk, AFTER making the pick worse.

I'm not necessarily a tank jockey, but draft picks are serious assets, and UFAs rarely re-sign here. Almost never?

And our players leave as FA’s. Give them a reason to stay. A 10-15 lotto pick that might be getting good when Gobert/Mitchell are FA’s....not good enough.

You have Mitchell. You won’t do better than that. Build around him and Gobert. Win. Bows the time. Show FA’s you can come win here.
