Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

I would rather have Rubio than any of those guys listed from Denver. All are SF or PF and I'd rather play O'Neale, Jerekbo and Thabo this year and/or next.

Yes it should be obvious the trade isn't due to the value of those players. It's to unload Rubio and collect and asset for talking on money for next year.

If we were to get a first, then sure I guess. Just don't know why Denver does that.

Denver is very much over the salary cap and due to Jokic's situation, they need to extend him this offseason or risk him becoming a UFA. They need to cut salary and this does it in a way that may bring in a player who can help (Rubio) at position of need.
 
With the recent speculation about maximizing Gobert's prime, I don't see us going full tank to let Denver save money and make the playoffs. Faried, Chandler and Arthur are season killers this year and next.

Denver trade is a bad idea.

Still think the Jazz try to get a workable piece - and do so without giving up a 1st.

Hood likely becomes the focal point in a deal like that.

I’m expecting chatter for Fournier and Mirotic to pick back up here pretty soon.
 
There are so many deals out there based off the chatter. Nobody wants to pull the trigger quite yet.

Hope Burks can find a new home. To me, he seems like the only guaranteed 2018-19 salary we will possibly move.

Favors would be a rental for NO. I don't think that they would have much interest in him since it's doubtful that he would help them win anything this year and then he would probably be allowed to walk when they try to re-sign Boogie. I think that they would have a ton of interest in Hood though.
 
I think our number one plan is to move Hood, and possibly Favors. Burks is expiring next year, so not a problem, and he helps us win when Hood is out. Favors plays well, but there's the problem of free agency. I don't see the Jazz moving anyone just to make a deal, it's going to be for players who help us win. They definitely haven't given up on playoffs. And they for sure are not giving away Ricky for scraps.
 
I'm glad the jazz have won a couple games in a row.

I'm worried if we win a couple more that the jazz will not make a trade. I feel like this happens with the jazz often around the trade deadline. We get a little hot right before the deadline so jazz decide not to mess with what they think is working.

Hopefully I'm wrong about that this year. Plus the contract situations will make them do something.
 
The jazz next play on tuesday and only play once in the next 6 days. The calendar is very advantageous for a trade. Maybe it is still too far away from away deadline deadline.
 
It really is crazy what a couple games could do. Had we lost the last two games, I could see us making a Hood and Favors to NOLA trade this weekend. They need the help and the trade for us would have been logical.

Now that we have won the last two, we wouldn't want to help a team we might catch.

Maybe or maybe not. Favs may be way cheaper than people think and Boogie may get a huge offer. With this injury it is generally a two year injury and I can’t remember a guy his size coming back from this. Not that it’s a career ending injury but dude relies on his size and speed which puts stress on everything.

I could see a scenario where he does not come back to NO because they aren’t willing to give the max and someone else is. The timing of this injury may cost him the better part of next year. They are on the clock with AD... no playoffs this year or next may force their hand.

Pretty ****** deal for them... I honestly feel bad. Being in Sac I’ve heard a bunch of stories about how Cousins is a dick but also seen some cool stuff he’s done. He’s a complicated dude but seems to be maturing and figuring things out... I also like that AD wants to stay in NO and win there... circumstances may cause that to change.
