Utah mentioned as a possible destination for Pierce

[Dr. Jones]

Thinking semi-realistically here:

Pierce, Rondo

for:

Al, Mo, Burks, GS 1st, UT 1st

Anyone?

I would in a second. Don't think it's enough.

 

[UGLI baby]

Not even close to enough^

Here was my idea in another thread:

Thanks for the input. How about this:

https://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=b93v37j

The changes are this:

Utah gives up Al and Paul.
Boston gives up Rondo and Pierce
Brooklyn gives up Humphries
Clippers give up Bledsoe and dead weight (Hill, Odom, Green)

Utah:
Rondo - Mo - Tinsley - Watson
Foye - Hayward - Burks - Murphy
Williams - Carroll
Favors - Humphries - Evans
Kanter

Clips look like this:
Paul - Billups
Crawford - Barnes
Pierce - Butler
Griffin - Thompkins
Jordan - Turiaf - Hollins

Boston:
Bledsoe - Terry - Bradley
Lee - Barbosa
Odom - Green - Hill
Garnett - Bass - Sullinger - Wilcox
Big Al - Melo - Collins

The Nets basically swap Humphries for Millsap.

The Clippers gain a superstar and keep Crawford.

Boston gets their superstar with Al (I know, I know, but you can sell him as a guy to go next to Garnett), young potential pg, and cap room next summer.

New Jersey gets Millsap for nothing.

The Jazz get Rondo, and keep the big 4. I think the Jazz take the biggest risk out of the group. They give up two known commodities for potential in Favors and Kanter and Rondo might demand out if it doesn't pan out quickly.

Don't know if the Clippers would realistically want to gut 3/4 of their bench just to land Pierce. Their strong bench is one of the reasons they're doing well.

They may have learnt the lesson from their room mate, the Lakers.

Try 2, I'm trying to find something that splits us down the middle on who would take it because that probably signifies it's close.

Pierce, Rondo

Al, Favors, Burks, 2 1sts.

Now that's getting closer.

If you swap Burks with Hayward I'm 99% sure Boston would be all over that. As a Jazz fan, I don't think I could pull the trigger on it though.

Not giving up Favors for anything realistic. Maybe we throw in another future pick with Al, Mo, Burks, GS 1st and Utah 1st

 

[JazzyD]

I might be willing to part ways with Kanter and Burks to get it done.

Extreme overpay.

 

[fishonjazz]

I like rondo alot, but i think favors, al, burks and 2 first rounders is too much...... and i dont want pierce at all.

This is almost the exact trade we made with D-Will.
Except Favors is proven now. I wouldn't do this.
