Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

How is it possible that they see basically equal value in Burks and Hood? I don't believe it. And Lou Williams would be such a better get for them.

But if they actually want to give us a first for Burks then **** yes.

OKC, like Detroit, Cleveland, etc., needs to win now because they want to keep Paul George long term. They probably feel like Burks provides a whole lot more than Singler and Abrines (which I think he does). They would prefer Hood, but that's dumb for us. For Burks, they would probably protect the 1st rounder a whole lot more than they would for Hood. I would think it would be some lottery protected pick in 2023 or 2024. I would still take it.
 
Heat want to give Tyler Johnson and Justice Winslow for Demarre Carroll? Has Winslow really shown so little, I thought he looked good his rookie season.

I'd take a flyer on that dude for so cheap. Give him a new atmosphere and some fun young teammates.

"According to Basketball Insiders’ Steve Kyler, OKC may be willing to part with future draft picks as part of a trade package to bring in a difference-maker. In his report, Hood and Burks were both name-checked as potential targets." Future draft picks basically means a 2021 2nd for Burks

I don't think Burks is great, but he's a major improvement over Abrines and Singler who provide absolutely nothing. If Burks can give them anything off the bench, it's an improvement. A highly protected pick way into the future is worth it for OKC if they can't find anything else.

And think about this - if OKC can trade Abrines AND Singler for Burks, they open up a roster spot which they can use on a vet that gets bought out soon. There are guys like Tony Allen, Jameer Nelson, JoeJ and others coming soon. OKC can essentially add two people (Burks and a bought out vet) for a lottery protected pick half a decade away.

They want to get out of Tyler Johnson bud. Winslow is the cost of that.
