It's working because Rubio is finally making layups and 3's, and INgles and Donovan are on fire. I wonder if it's sustainable, but I think at least the defense should be.

I think you are right, but some teams that might think about Favors are: Bucks, Wizards, Cavs, Pelicans. I'm probably missing a couple others. I don't think any of those will want him badly enough to make a deal but you never know. I think it's likely that only Hood and JJ are gone as well.
Not telling.

I'm not saying a lot of teams don't have interest. But playoff teams just don't have appropriate salaries to match. I checked on every likely playoff team with the ESPN Trade Machine. Even Cleveland only has Frye at $7M and no other expiring to trade. So it's likely any deal would need to include a 3rd team.
The way this team has been playing lately - and the denial by Favors of saying he wouldn't re-sign with Utah - maybe there's a chance he stays. But it's doubtful. A lot of teams need decent bigs. I could see him getting a $20M/per contract from Atlanta, for example.
I dont know if it's really starting to click (in terms of the Favors thing), but the Jazz are returning to their elite defensive play they had to start the year. The problem then was Rubio was completely new to the team and was a mess in the system with tons of turnovers and we had no dominant scoring threat like we do now w/ Mitchell.
Our offense will probably regress again at some point. Mitchell cant be great every night, Ingles isnt going to shoot lights out every game, and Rubio will probably scatter some poor efficiency scoring nights in, but as long as the D stays elite and they play smart they should be fine. The schedule is soft and they can go back to feasting on mediocre teams who cant score on them and our now in the malaise of the 2nd half of the season.
Hell, maybe Exum will even be good in his return.
Portland fan on RealGM proposed Vonleh and 1st(protected) for Hood with an option for Vonleh, Harkless and 1st for Hood and JJ. Would you do that one?
A Boston fan proposed Larkin/Nader/BOS 1st for Hood. Would you do that?
What if it was the LAC 1st(which is lottery protected)?
It's very possible the LAC pick turns into 2 seconds but if it doesn't it will be much higher than Boston's pick...
Which one do you value higher - BOS or LAC pick?

According to Marc Stein Joe Johnson has asked to be traded. It's unknown whether that will he happen. He could be bought out as well. Rumor is a lot of teams are interested in Hood and the Jazz are listening to offers.
Would depend on how high the pick was, I like Harkless but neither of those guys are anywhere as good as Hood.
Portland's pick right now is no. 21.
There have been reports from various insiders that the price for Tyreke Evans is a first round pick. I just read an article where Ramona Shelburne reported that the Lakers have been offered a first round pick (she hinted from more than one team) for Jordan Clarkson. So Rodney Hood should be able to fetch a first too if the Jazz want it.

I like winning and we might not need to shake anything up too massively. We also want to keep an eye on the future. Our "trade bait" is down to these 3:
JoeJ wants out for a contender. Either trade him to Philly or buy him out.
Burks - the best business we could do this deadline is dump his 2018/19 salary. So trade him and multiple 2nd rounders to Atlanta for expirings???

Hood - I really wish Detroit had their 1st because Stanley and their 1st for Hood and a 2nd would have been great. At this point, get me a 1st from somewhere and lets move on.
Shed Burks, lose 2nds and add a 1st.

I doubt we keep him after this year but I agree the odds of him being traded are low. The teams that would make sense are teams in the hunt for a title that want to rent him for part of a season. The other places that would want him want us to take stuff in return that we dont want.
In terms of the odds that they'll be traded my guess is
Favors- 55-60%. The Jazz are actively shopping him but a good chance remains that they just can't find a deal they like.
Hood- 90-95%. I think he's gone.
Joe- Probably around 10%. Unless he's moved along with Favors and/or Hood in a trade he probably won't get traded. Any team who wants him will probably avoid offering assets and hope he gets bought out.

There's not much incentive for us to give up assets in order to trade Burks. Unless the FO is angling to be players in the 2018 free agent class instead of 2019. And I don't think that they are.

Shedding Burks or most of Burks' contract opens up an enormous amount of opportunities this summer. Half of the league is projected in the luxury next season but many have 2019 money. We could absorb a contract in order to move up in the draft, get a good player at a bargain, use space as an asset. Dumping Burks' $11.5 would be wise business.
Atlanta is a team with $50+ million in space this summer. They also don't have a 2nd and has been on record saying they are looking to trade expirings for 2nd rounders. Burks is young enough to gamble on his $11.5 million expiring for next year.
Philly is another possibility. They have shown interest in Hood. If we could get an asset and dump Burks while bringing back expirings, that would also be good business.
