Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

gomretat said:
I listened to the whole interview and found it both thoughtful and insightful. Loved listening to him frame some of the trade-offs. DL has proven that he is not afraid to pull the trigger and has earned the right to do what makes sense. Clearly the Jazz are active and will continue to be so. The best trades are often the ones that don't happen.

Deadline deals by Lindsey: Mack. Anyone else?
"The best trades are often the ones that don't happen": great excuse by those who are paralyzed by the fear of a move not working out or by getting back to little, slightly overpaying, etc.

They should just keep the recording of that interview and replay it each season and save D.L. the trouble of repeating himself year in and year out lol.

Only part that was left out was, "we like our players and want to see what they can do when healthy." Lindsey's favorite label instructions are: "Lather, rinse, repeat." As Jazz fans, we better hope Exum comes back with a vengeance, Hood re-signs on the cheap and whoever Lindsey HAS to draft as the PF, because he clearly will need to pick for need as he did with Burke, turns out to be a Mitchell-type find.

Well, I did leave out the possibility of Favors returning. I actually do think what Snyder is FINALLY doing in taking out Derrick or Rudy at ~ the 6 min mark to minimize the time they play together has worked the past several games. Also, I'm liking O'Neale. No, he doesn't give Utah the 3PT shooting that Hood does, but he's been pretty impressive with his ballhandling, passing an toughness.

I dont think we bring in anyone unless they are the calibre of player that will attract a star FA in 2018/19.

Uh, we traded for Kendrick Perkins at the deadline under Lindsey. How dare you insult him

You forgot Pleiss and No-Neck in that Kanter trade. Great evaluation of talent. But, of course, the real key was getting a late first so Lindsey could trade it in his annual search for a PG (five 1st round picks for PG's during his five years as Utah's GM).

That was when DL came on during a broadcast and mentioned “the haul” we got for Kanter.

I guess, though, part of that “haul” was Rubio.

Eh, if we're giving both Favors and Hood and taking back salary, I'd want the right to swap for the Brooklyn pick. A pick at 25 is nice, but the top 8 in this next draft all have All Star potential.

Yeah, but they won't give up that cleveland pick. With two first round picks we could move pretty far up.
 
Can we stop with the doom and gloom talk about how we aren't going to make any trades until after the deadline when we know one way or the other? The cynicism is a downer.

If there were any trade that gave us an obvious lift, gave us a strong core piece, and was the easiest move to make, we just passed on it like those guys grow on trees. It makes it hard to believe we’ve got something else nice cooking.
