Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

If I was part of the Philly FO, In my personal estimation Saric would be almost untouchable along with Embiid and Simmons obviously.

Saric has shown to be the third best player on that team throughout most of the season, and at times was the best player in some games. He is their best hustle guy and has shown more heart than probably all other Sixers players, especially during their down games.

This leads me to my point that it won't, well at least it shouldn't be easy to pry him from Philly. Most of the trade suggestions revolving him in this thread I would imagine the Sixers would scoff at. I would scoff at them. I don't think we have enough to entice Philly about Saric, in terms of which players we would make available.

^^this. Saric is underrated, but not by Philly. He has basketball in his DNA and very high hoops IQ. Will be a borderline allstar at his peak. He can co-exist with Simmons nicely, as he brings shooting at the 4. He is a great fit. Will take a TON to pry him away.
 
Jazz Interested in Avery Bradley

According to several reports, the Utah Jazz wouldn’t hesitate to part ways with any of their players not named Donovan Mitchell or Rudy Gobert, and after several rumors that pointed towards both Joe Johnson and Rodney Hood leaving the team, it seems like they’re actively trying to land Avery Bradley.

Bradley’s set to become an unrestricted free agent and the Clippers wouldn’t mind sending him anywhere with him unlikely to commit for the long run at the Staples Center. Furthermore, Bradley was also linked with a move to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Perfect fit next to Mitchell TBH. Both can guard the 1 and the 2. Both can handle the ball and score. Both are defense first and unselfish players.
 
Ringer NBA guy said Hood for Stanley Johnson. That’d be interesting.

I'd rather let Hood walk for nothing... Stanley can't shoot and has struggled with the mental aspects of the game. Good defender, but not Roberson good. Imma pass hard!
 
This article sounds like Jazz are just trying to find the best first round pick and probably the least amount of bad contract for Hood.

Every time I hear rumors on Philly it sounds like they are looking for Hood... we want perimeter shooting and bench scoring per Brett Brown. Expiring salary and to get off of the Bayless contract.

I think Philly either picks up Hood or Bradley at the deadline. AB will cost them less in draft compensation imo.
