Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

[Handlogten's Heros]

I like Neto but he isnt an important factor for our team now or in the future. If he nets you an asset you should take and and not look back.

If Neto gets a bigger trade done or if he gets you a pick, do it.

Depends. He’s close with Rudy. He’d be a great backup and is restricted.

He’s shooting 48% from three and has looked better driving this year.

Not giving him away for a 2nd round pick from 40-60... if we had to include him in a deal to get something big then obviously you do it.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Care to elaborate?

He didn’t really just said sorry not happening. Paid too much in his opinion... it’s basically what Rodney would get... I don’t view him as overpaid.

Then he's speculating and he's also wrong. The contract is very good.

I'm trying to envision what we could pick up with Neto or what type of deal would hinge on him being included and I'm kind of at a loss. I'm pretty certain his value to us is higher than what anyone else would value.

Who I would trade if it makes sense:
Hood
Favors
Burks
Rubio
JoeJ
Udoh
Thabo
Bradley

Who I wouldn't trade:
Mitchell
Gobert
Exum
O'Neale (contract too good)
Neto (contract too good, still improving, fit on roster, contract)
Ingles (we need the stability he provides)
Jerekbo (great contract, great attitude)

Everyone is available for the right price. The right price for Mitchell and Gobert is very, very high.

I like Tony but he has some odd player opinions sometimes. Remember him not liking Niko Love etc and making it out like those guys are trash.

If you ask me and it was trading Hood for Evan straight up I’d do it because I think Hood gets more than I’d want to pay. If you take AB off my hands too then I’m feeling great.

Definitely true. If somebody wants to give us $10 for something worth $5, then we do it. If somebody gives us $10 for something worth $9, I don't think it's worth it. Roster stability, continuity and personalities mean something more than a slightly better asset. I hope we don't lose sight of that in the upcoming days.

You are correct. I see it like this - the risk must be relative to the potential reward. A guy like Hood has been a solid pro and good player. He's never been exceptional but he's always been good. He'll never be a star. He has missed 25% of games during his career which means there is a slight concern from an injury perspective. I consider Hood a Medium Risk Medium Reward.

Parker is High Risk High Reward. At 21, he was scoring 20+ points and getting almost 7 rebounds per game. His injuries are scary, but he's a beast if he can stay healthy.

Exum is another example of a High Risk Medium to High Reward. Two major injuries but the potential to be incredible due to physical abilities.

As a small market franchise, I would rather take a chance on a High Reward player than settle for a Low to Medium Reward player. In a very practical example - we should have matched on Wes Matthews instead of settling on Raja Bell.

The thought process makes sense but how high of a reward do we think? Championship contenders? Hood on a team-freindly deal may allow you to add another superstar. Jabari would not.

Maybe this has been discussed and I missed it. But what kind of value does Tony Bradley have in the trade market? Right now, I have to think not much. I never really understood why the Jazz were so in love with him.

His worth is measured in DL shower boners.

I think Jabari is a future All Star (I'm not saying every year All Star, but I think he makes at least 1 All Star Game if not more). I don't think Hood is ever an All Star. I do have some concerns about finances, but then again, by the time Mitchell and Gobert need to get paid again, Ingles is gone or almost gone.

Mitchell (does everything), Jabari (dynamic scorer) and Gobert (best rim defender in the game). Those 3 would seem to fit very well next to each other. Very well.
