OFFICIAL: Trade Deadline Thread

Yeah I doubt that first one will be done, I didnt really think about how it would affect burks at the time of posting, What do ou hink of the second trade?
Remind me what the second trade was?
ESPN is reporting that Brooklyn wants Smith and has offered Humphries and Brooks. So, here is another one:

https://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=c98od7z

Al/GS pick to Atl
Smith to Brooklyn
Humphries and Brooks to Utah

Mo/Tinsley/Watson
Brooks/Burks
Hayward/Carroll/Williams
Millsap/Humphries
Favors/Kanter

what is the point to this trade??? If you ask me Brooks is the next CJ Miles, and not an upgrade to Burks.
 
I literally could not care less about how nice a player is in contrast to how good a player is. If there's anything to that Bucher tweet, we know what the Jazz care more about.
 
Ric Bucher now covers the Warriors for Comcast. He's not at ESPN. He's been pushing a subtle agenda to have the Ws trade for Millsap. Not sure why.
 
So according to Rich Bucher, in order to be able to afford Gordan Hayward's extension, the Jazz will keep the more expensive player between Jefferson and Millsap?
 
If you think you could get more with Kanter than Al, you are crazy. Al is a 18 and 10 guy, with a couple assists and 1 block per game. Al currently has us in the playoff race. Al is an elite fourth quarter player.

Al has his faults, but to act like Kanter, a guy who can't get any minutes, fouls at an incredibly high rate, is very raw offensively, but has potential is crazy.

I dislike Al as much as the next guy, but he isn't as bad as everyone says he is. If we didn't have him this year, we probably aren't in the playoff race. Not that that is a bad thing, but there is a reason why Al will get a max deal this summer, and it isn't because he sucks.

You're right but I think the main problem about the value is whether if it's a building team (say 3-4 years the least) that measures Big Al and Enes. Then the explanation for that would change.

I agree. All this stems from me wondering if the Wizards would want Al. I said they might if they are sick of being at the bottom, trading for Al puts them in the playoff race next year and makes them relevant. That's all I said.
 
The Suns also have shown interest in a bigger splash for Utah’s Al Jefferson or Gordon Hayward. Dudley could be a part of either of those deals with center Marcin Gortat likely needed to make one work for Jefferson, a 28-year-old power forward who makes $14 million and is averaging 17.4 points and 9.5 rebounds. Hayward, a 22-year-old swingman, is averaging 13.5 points in a reserve role. Arizona Republic

I'd be happy to trade Al but I'm pretty sure the Jazz wouldn't be trading Hayward..
 
I'd trade Al and some picks for Gortat and Dudley. Dudley is on a great contract for the next few years and Gortat is only at 7.7m next year and would be a great third big!
 
Big Al & Hayward to Suns ?


The Phoenix Suns have been in trade talks with both the Utah Jazz and New york Knicks.

The Suns have shown interest in Al Jefferson, Gordon Hayward and Iman Shumpert.

Jared Dudley would likely be included in any trade for those players, while Marcin Gortat could be in play for Jefferson as well.

“Anytime you’re on a team that’s a losing team and they’ve got a lot of draft picks, it’s going to be up in discussions,” said Dudley, who had not heard from his agent. “In the NBA, 90 percent of the rumors don’t come true. It comes with territory and doesn’t faze me at all.”
