I have no interest in a Stanley Johnson-Rodney Hood trade unless they are sending us Luke Kennard as well. And I don't think that they would add Kennard. So, no deal. We can find a better trade elsewhere.
Hoopshype reporting the Pistons are looking at a Hood for Stanley Johnson trade. Hmm.
I think they can specify it as something along the lines of "first round pick 2 years after the pick to LAC conveys". The OKC pick we had was similar. We got that pick in 2015, while OKC still had a conditional pick obligation to PHI. It didn't convey in 2015 because it didn't satisfy the condition and we had to wait for the OKC 2016 pick to convey to PHI in order to get the 2018 pick. We can do similar trade for the first available DET pick after the pick to LAC is conveyed.They cant even trade their 2020 pick because of the protections currently on the 2018 pick
From a lot of what I've heard is teams are only lukewarm on jazz players. We all know the jazz won't make a trade just to make one. Sounds as if teams might want us to take their crap contracts for less. It might be hard to make a trade. I'm preparing for there to not be a trade.Now that a trade has gone down, a big one no less, I’m hoping the damn breaks and teams start making moves.
DL hear my cries! All in brother, all in. Bus or Tank makes no damn difference! Just choose one and burn away everything else.
Let’s do this!!!
I want no part of Gallo. That contract is about as bad as it getsSo follow me if you will....
Clips trade Bradley to Cavs for Frye and Cavs' 2018 1st (very reasonable and logical trade for both)
We then trade Burks and Favors to Clips for Gallinari and Cav's 2018 1st (Clippers would love to shed DG's deal while staying 2018 relevant)
We then trade Rubio and our 2nd for Gortat, Frazier (expiring) and Wiz 2018 1st
We then trade Gortat to Bucks for Teletovic (Bucks want to win now, need a center, and Teletovic has had medical issues although he gives us another stretch 4. We save some money on this deal since Gortat makes a couple million more than Teletovic)
Result:
PG Mitchell
SG Hood
SF Ingles
PF Gallinari
C Gobert
Bench - Udoh, Exum, O'Neale, Jerekbo, Teletovic, Neto, Bradley, Thabo (expiring), JoeJ (expiring), Frazier (expiring)
Picks - Our 1st, Cavs' 1st and Wiz 1st
We probably pay the luxury in 2018-19, but we would be clear when we hit 2019.
