btw there's no way JJ is getting this deal done, why on earth would they want him.

They wouldn’t. They’d buy him out and he can sign with a contender like the Jazz did with Kendrick Perkins. They do it for Bradley, cash and 2nd round pick(s). If that doesn’t get me t done, then you look at Favors. Not sure they want him either though.

the way Orlando are going you'd have to assume probably only Gordon would be off limits.

I’d love to get Fournier, but wouldn’t want to pay premium assets to pull it off. I’d consider going after him for sure though.

Fournier is under control for 3 more years at 17 (which is HUGELY valuable). No way does he get dealt for an RFA and a pure FA. If Bird Rights on either Favors or Hood were really valuable, it might be different. But the Magic have much more value with Fournier on a reasonable contract for 3 years than the RFA/Bird Right on both Hood and Favors to sign them longterm.

I’d be interested in seeing what they want for him. Swap Fournier and Rubio in this team and things change overnight. Mitchell takes over at PG and the Jazz could add another shooter to the mix around Gobert/Favors. They’d essentially be a very similar team to the one that finished out the 2014/15 season on a tear.

Gobert, Favors, Fournier (Hayward-lite), Jingles and Mitchell (better than rookie Exum) as starters. . . Hood, Exum, Sefolosha and (healthy) Burks are light years better as a bench than Burke, Baby Sap, Booker and Withey. I’m not sure what the results would be, but I think it’d be much better than what we’ve seen so far this year.

How do people feel about the idea of pairing Sexton in the backcourt with Donovan?

The size issue has to be a concern. I like Sexton, but I’m worried about longer teams coming out and bullying the Jazz if they add a short PG (Young or Sexton) to play with Mitchell. It’s one of the reasons that I like Mitchell so much in the PG role. His size then becomes a huge plus for the Jazz. Pair him with a long SG (like Jingles) and let them shut down opposing guards.

Exum has never sniffed Oladipo's production from any year.

He could become a player!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Could! But can we just look at the metrics and believe them? Also, you understand there are consequences to spending eight figures on a meh basketball player, right?

Which year of Exum are you comparing? The first year in which he obviously wasn't NBA ready and was drafted as a project, in which nobody in their right mind expected anything from him, or his second year recovering from a serious injury and never getting the chance to play through mistakes because we were trying to keep Haywood? For the life of me, I'll never understand how so many people fail so hard at putting a player's development into context.

My hell, if Mitchell were drafted a year earlier, half this board would have given up on him 2 weeks into his career, with the way he started. Instead, he was able to play through his mistakes and has had a chance to develop. Archie Moses would have been the leader of a whole group of Mitchell sucks clowns if he had had to develop under the same circumstances Exum had to deal with his second year.

Anyway, I'm done with this whole Exum jackassery. More than willing to wait until Utah signs him to his next contract. Exum's development hasn't even begun yet and he was doing just fine before the 2nd injury. Just ****ing asinine to give up on that player at this point.

This would be a 3 teams deal most probably. I would be shocked if we decided to trade a third pick in third year in a row for a rental having in mind just how disastrously the previous two went.

Think about something like:

UTA gets Mirotic
CHI gets BOS 1st round pick 2018, Aron Baynes, Guerschon Yabusele, other filler to make salaries work(Larkin?)
BOS gets Favors

----------------------------
UTA gets Mirotic
CHI gets CLE 1st round pick 2018, Channing Frye, other filler to make salaries work
CLE gets Favors

----------------------------
UTA gets Mirotic
CHI gets OKC 1st round pick 2018(lottery protected), Cole Aldrich, other filler to make salaries work
MIN gets Favors
----------------------------

Noone should be even thinking about trading lottery picks for a player in Mirotic who has stated he wants out of Chicago.

Two trades?

One centered on Favors for Mirotic and another around Rubio/Burks and Hill?

Gobert/Udoh
Mirotic/Jerebko
Ingles/Sefolosha
Mitchell/Hood
Hill/Neto/Exum

Roughly...

Seriously... You want to relive 2016 and make Exum your 3rd string pg
