Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

[zyzz]

Is NOP really gonna trade a 1st round pick to get rid of Asik? Was it rumored to be protected? They looked so bad against the Kings. Shot 51/36/76 and still lost to the Kings at home by 11. Gave up 26 second chance points and had zero themselves. Gave up 14 offensive rebounds. I feel like it had to be lotto protected or something...

Right now, if I had to bet on it, I don't think the Jazz trade Favors. Especially with what happened last night. I think they really want to find out what they have with this core when healthy.

I agree. There's no way the Jazz are giving up on the playoffs before the deadline, and since they don't, they won't trade Favors unless they get a great offer.

Kevin Love is out for 6-8 weeks with a hand injury. I think the Cavs might be a little more desperate for a player like Favors.

I would think they would be more interested in Niko seeing as he's a natural 4

If LeBron leaves then I doubt they want Niko. Love won’t be out for the playoffs. Who knows, though. It’s Dan Gilbert and apparently he has taken over basketball decisions.

Trading Favors for Niko is a win-now move.

Guys, I'm all for trades, but I am at a loss right now. I'm not really sure what to do. Without even mentioning trade targets, I think it is silly to keep Favors if he can fetch us a young player or pick, but I'm not sure who that is. Burks seems like "surplus to requirements" as they say in soccer, but I don't see a trade where we trade him for a worthy expiring. Hood seems like the best guy to trade, but for who and what?

This last stretch before the deadline seems crucial to our future. Its almost like go big (Jabari, Fultz, somebody not being rumored publicly) or we mostly stay put. We either learn to win with what we got or use all our ammo to add a "missing piece".

Maybe this?

Favors to Cavs
Mirotic to Utah
Frye, Calderon, Rose and Cavs' 2018 1st to Chicago

Cavs use expiring absolute scraps and a late 1st to get a big man they need.

Chicago gets a better deal here than with NOLA since they dont have to pay Asik.

We get Mirotic for expiring Favors.

Trading Favors for Niko is a win-now move.

Its a win-now and a win in the future. I think Niko could be our Power Foward for the foreseeable future.
