Roster Addition Wish List

[Bawse Dawg]

Taking Mahinmi and losing two firsts would hurt. But we also don't lose any important future pieces.

That deal would put Mitchell at the 1 with Beal his running mate at the 2. The thought makes me cream my shorts but I don't think the FO does something like that so soon. I doubt we trade Rubio. But I'd admire the initiative if they did. Would also feel bad that we sent Ricky to do nothing in Washington while they wait for his contract to expire.

I'd also take Otto porter because he'd probably be available to expirings and very little else.

Let's break it down:

Untouchables:
Gobert
Ingles
Crowder
Mitchell
O'Neale (I just doubt we trade him with his contract being such a bargain)
Grayson (I don't see us trading him - our FO loves him)

Can't be traded until January:
Favors
Exum
Neto
Niang

Trade pieces:
Rubio $14.8 (I doubt he's available, but maybe if the right deal becomes possible)
Burks $11.6 expiring
Thabo $5.3 expiring
Udoh $3.4 expiring
Bradley $1.7
TOTAL (without Rubio): $21.82

I think the 4 available trade pieces works financially for Otto Porter ($26+).

Sometimes, ESPN Trade Machine glitches up. For example, this deal with $21.9 works fine: http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y7p7fc8h
Then this deal with $21.83 doesn't and says we need to add so much more: http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y9569hdx

This is exactly right. Outside of Rubio, we trade guys we don't need, keep the long term pieces and even keep Favors for continuity sake. Think about our roster and how amazing this looks:

PG Mitchell, Exum, Neto
SG Beal, O'Neale, Grayson
SF Ingles, Crowder
PF Favors, Niang
C Gobert, Udoh, Mahinmi

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I'd kick the tires on Beal for sure, but likely get outbid. I think the lakers could and should go hard after him and they have more assets theyd likely put on the table.

OP Jr. has likely tanked his value to a point we could get him for expirings... I'd do that. We need to bank on acquiring some distressed assets and having them be fixer uppers.

Nice work @LoPo I had forgotten Washington even had an NBA team.

This report has New Orleans interested in Otto Porter. https://www.theringer.com/nba/2018/11/19/18102234/nba-bold-trade-pelicans-anthony-davis

They don't mention Mirotic as part of the play for Porter, but they do mention Randle. Well, NOLA can't trade Randle until January but they did offer Mirotic in their offer for Butler. I wonder if....

New Orleans gets Porter
Jazz get Mirotic
Wizards get Solomon Hill, Burks and Utah's 2019 1st rounder (top 4 protected)

I'm still just not convinced the Jazz are going to be able to land any of Middleton, Harris or Niko in free agency. If they have a chance to add a player like Bradley Beal or even Otto Porter through a trade, I think they have to aggressively pursue it, even if they have to give up valuable assets in the process.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Beal just not going to happen.

No way the Jazz can approach best offer.

You are probably right.

But these are the type moments where I hope our front office is trying even if it means we lose Rubio, Burks, Bradley, multiple 1st rounders, etc.

Untouchables:
Gobert
Ingles
Crowder
Mitchell
O'Neale (I just doubt we trade him with his contract being such a bargain)
Grayson (I don't see us trading him - our FO loves him)

I think the only true untouchables are Gobert and Mitchell with Ingles being close to untouchable. If the right deal came along I think Lindsey would be willing to part with anyone else, including Crowder, O'Neal and Allen.

If the Wizards are trading Beal, they are tanking. I highly doubt they even trade him. I think the most likely thing is they trade 1 of Porter/Wall and try to retool around Beal.

The Jazz just don't have good young assets. They got Tony Bradley, Grayson Allen, Royce O'Neale, Georges Niang, and Dante Exum. So if the Wiz are trying to blow it up and start fresh by trading Beal, none of those guys are needle movers.


Porter is much more likely, but he is overpaid. I'd give up Favors/Burks/Protected 1st but that's it. And I'm not 100% sure I'd do that.

If we were going after a Durant or LeBron, I would agree with you. I just don't think any other team values those 3 guys (Crowder, O'Neale and Grayson) nearly as much as we do which means that they wouldn't be thrown in a trade.
