Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

If I was one of the tier 2 teams I would be going after Lebron right now. I guess anyone not named GS that is a top 4 seed in either conference. Boston I guess cant really trade for Lebron with Kyrie but they should. Send over picks, Hayward, and Smart. That could win them a chip this year. Or better yet teams like Toronto, Timberwolves, Bucks, Portland, or Wizards should go after him.

Cleveland probably says no or Lebron vetoes the trade but some of those teams have no chance at winning a championship this year or in the foreseeable future. They might as well swing for the fences for one year. Then they would also have a chance at re-signing Lebron if they got close or even won it.

Haha.. we'll see man! Good observation - something to watch out for, LOL.

I think they're on the rise in the standings so they should be 7th at the worst as the Pelicans are gonna drop.

They are the worst team in the West and 2nd worst in the NBA on the road this year. They take advantage of the altitude at home with a big offense, but that wont be as big of an advantage in the playoffs when it slows down.

We shall see what Millsap brings when he gets back but I am not sure he will be a big help to them.
 
I love how we are finally mostly healthy, we have won 4 straight, we are looking dominant, and yet we are talking about Denver being the next Warriors. Seriously, WTF?
 
Do you think the Jazz FO gives an ultimatum to Fav that we need to know if you will sign an extension with us before the trade deadline. If Fav does not, then we trade him?

A verbal ultimatum? Those don't happen because Favors has no idea what the market is for him out there and is illegal to negotiate in season.

I would not be surprised if the FO reached out to Favors and/or his representation prior to the deadline to see where everyone is. I don't think anybody says anything definitive on their intentions.

Most of you know this, but I just don't see Favors and Gobert playing together hardly at all if we become a playoff team. If we spent $10+ on him, it could be wasted come playoff time. Then again, we might need him big time to get to the playoffs and if Gobert gets hurt.

Overall, we just need to keep him available but only trade him if it gets us an asset that's worth it. To me, that asset needs to be one of a few things:

- if we could package Favors with Burks to dump Burks' 2018-19 contract, that would be worth it (Hawks possible)
- if we could use Favors to get a late 1st, then I think we need to do it (Cavs possible)
- use Favors to get a future lottery protected 1st (most of the league currently in the playoff race)
 
So a name I haven't really heard discussed around here is Raul Neto. I've seen rumors going around that there are teams interested in trading for him. Do you guys think the Jazz would trade him? What do you think we could get in return? Personally I like Raul. He always seems to play really well in the limited minutes he gets. I'd like to keep him around.

More than what Marcus Smart gets.

What's your point? I'm not saying they're gonna be top 5 this year. The question was whether they'll face GSW in the 1st round, and I think they'll be 7th at the worst so I don't think that's gonna happen.
