Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

I think we can improve just by not playing Joe Johnson and cutting the guy loose.

I need something good to move Hood and Favs at this point. I'd sell AB for expirings or partially expirings. Or like just something different... maybe Jared Dudley or Garrett Temple. Like I'd send a second round pick with AB for Temple right now... he isn't owed as much and is a functional/reliable rotation guy.

I'd just keep AB. He does some things pretty well. Dudley, now a days looks like Boris Diaw, without the springs, don't know who Garrett Temple is but I imagine he's not capable of Houdini the way AB is. Plus, having a bunch of serviceable wings is what everyone is searching for, why give that up just for the sake of change?
 
With LA now focusing on 2019 any interest in a straight swap of AB for Jordan Clarkson? I think we could do better than that if we take on an extra year of salary. I still can't decide if Clarkson is a great bench scorer or a guy putting up decent numbers on a **** team.

Just looked at his numbers... his shooting fell off... no thanks.
 
For some reason I think Q could get something more out of Clarkson, but, yeah, he doesn't excite much. I am vaguely interested, though, because Burks is dead weight most of the time and Hood will be hurt 3 different times between now and the 2nd round of the playoffs. That's right.
 
I saw a report that said, "Cavs have reached out to Utah about trading Ricky Rubio" and my instinctual response was, Only if they take him from my cold dead hands.

DO NOT LET THEM TOUCH OUR BEAUTIFUL BOY RICKY
 
I'm guessing we either take a one year salary dump deal returning a good young player or pick or stand pat. Looking at the roster makeup we just don't have a lot of needs. Cut JJ's minutes or release him and I think we look pretty good.

Again - If no one ponies up a decent first rounder for Hood they can kick rocks. He's frustrating and flawed but useful and still fits well with the roster.

Voicemail message: Hi, Dennis. This is the Cavs GM. Dan Snyder wants Rubio and for him we're prepared to trade you one of our crappy contracts as well as a player who scores less than 3 points a game, and heck - we'll even throw in a second round pick or if you'd prefer, Dan Gilbert's son - you know, the one with the stupid glasses and dumbass bow tie who landed us Anthony Bennett. Anyways... call me back.
