Rumor: Warriors have interest in trading for Ingles if made available by the jazz.

[idiot]

Yeah, but if you lose Ingles you lose a playmaker for others. That would basically leave teh Jazz with just Conley and Mitchell who can do that, and maybe rookie Jared Butler.

Losing Ingles is kind of scary as his playmaking and passing is a huge part of the Jazz identity. If the Jazz lose Ingles, they are probably a bottom 10 passing team in the NBA.

Given what's gone down so far, I'm kind of thinking that changing the identity of the team (at least somewhat) may be the directive from the top (Smith/Wade). Think we're just going to have to get used to it.

But getting rid of playmakers seems like exactly the wrong direction to go in, especially with our limited super max player.

I ****ing love Moses Moody. I’m gonna choose to bask in that the Jazz either have Ingles or him in this conversation.

 

[idiot]

The thing is, I would expect GSW front office to laugh hysterically if the Jazz suggest Joe for those three guys. I don't see a trade happening here at all. They can choose between a deal we really like and they hate and one they really like and we hate.

I don't know (given the tax issues of both teams) how GSW could even propose a deal going after Ingles without including these three guys. I think this is their only(or only semi-realistic) path.

Understand your point, but the very fact that there's so much smoke around Ingles (including to the Cavs, where you would have to think the play would be either Nance [probably moot now] or some kind of salary dump) makes it hard to imagine what else they may be up to.

Wait a minute guys… something else could work and save us a **** ton of salary on top of it.

Warriors sign-and-trade Oubre to a 3rd team while also sending us Moody and Paschall.

They get Ingles and player(s)/picks from the 3rd team.

We would save 7.7M in salary as well.

Thought about this, it’s good. But having Looney would probably be useful.

Edit: actually... nah, the savings are better.

Not that hard to get creative I got it handled. Anyone have Bob Myers’s cell number?

Maybe they noticed that the Ingles-Gobert matchup wasn't really getting us anywhere during this playoffs (Rudy was strong with on/off numbers; Joe not so much) and decided it's worth the gamble. Maybe they've decided it's Joe who needs Rudy more than Rudy needs Joe. I'm not really sure.

Another thing to consider here is the last time someone moved off of Joe, he Jingled them harder than anyone’s ever been Jingled.

Hell hath no fury like a Jingles Jingling with purpose.

They can’t do anything with Moody until 30 days after they’ve signed him, right?

This seems to make way more sense as a draft night thing. Very possible that it was already discussed and no agreement could be reached.

Well the other thing is that they probably need Moody’s salary to make it work under the CBA, so this move on draft night probably wasn’t possible.
