Trade deadline discussion

[Jingled]

This is what Tony Jones said in an interview with Spence Checketts on Thursday.

Really interesting interview on Checketts show this afternoon with Tony Jones

-Said he 100% think's the Jazz will make a trade to replace Joe's spot in the rotation and that they have interest in Josh Richardson.
-Not exactly sure what he meant by this but said that another downside to losing Joe is that they lose one of the only guys in the Lockeroom that could look Donovan Mitchell in the eye and tell him no.
-The Jazz still believe that they can win a championship if healthy and are all in, so they won't hesitate to trade draft picks.
- If Jerami Grant is on the table for Joe's salary and two first round picks then he thinks it's a no brainer to make that move.
-The front office is starting to take on the personality of Danny Ainge and some of the names that are popping up that the Jazz are interested in are different from the type of guys that Dennis Lindsey went after.
-Joe's contract is the main thing being shopped but doesn't think they would hesitate to include another rotation player in a deal if they thought it could make the team better.
-There's a guy that a source told him Ainge is going after (Tony wouldn't reveal the name on air but said he'd text it to Spence) that is totally a Danny Ainge guy and someone that no front office in Jazz history before this one would've tried to get in a Jazz jersey. Any guesses who that could be?

And this is what Tony said in his article today:

What the Jazz are mindful of is trying to walk the balance between attempting to fortify the roster for the stretch run and maintaining future flexibility. In other words, there is hesitance on mortgaging the future in trying to win a title this season. It’s a reason why Utah is likely to be careful of any trade that involves a future first-round pick. Yes, Utah gave a first in order to move Derrick Favors’ contract this offseason. But that allowed the Jazz the financial flexibility to re-sign Conley, who is still playing at a very high level.

So what changed in 4 days?

I wouldn't listen to media articles. Teams are all posturing right now, saying, "We're happy with our team," and "We're not trading so-and-so unless we get an offer that just blows us away..."

However, from other sources, it sounds as though whatever deal the Jazz are offering for Grant isn't going to be enough, unless Detroit lowers their asking price.

Ainge should pull the ultimate power move and trade someone mid-game.

I don't know if this has already been posted but in his latest article for The Athletic, John Hollinger suggested the Jazz should still pursue Covington for Ingles. Say's that a deal of Ingles/Gay for Covington/Ibaka would save the Clippers millions in luxury tax.

Did they change the rules? I thought you couldn’t trade a guy that soon while aggregating him with someone else.

I wish Paschall coud get more playing time. Gay seems to be expendable and oftentimes injured/resting. No need for him, especially if we are pursuing Grant or Barnes with Ingles's contract+picks

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I still have big issues with Paschall's team defense and rebounding. It's simply bad. Overall I just trust Rudy Gay more.

That's fair. He is a much better shooter too. On the other hand, Paschall brings hustle and athleticism. Gay's IQ and discipline is much higher but he looks a tad slow. Just sayin he seems expendable, given the type of players we are pursuing.

Yeh, it;s a tough choice because Paschall has been pretty good. Just wish he provided a bit more complete D.

Oh his D is thicc and complete.

My hot take trade deadline prediction is that Gay ends up getting moved.

 

[Ineptimusprime]

Looking like this is gonna be a lame deadline, guys. It sounds like we went shopping with Joe’s contract and second round picks and unsurprisingly didn’t turn up much.

Doesn’t sound like we actively marketed Bogey and Clarkson, which, IMO, is a mistake.
