Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

Ok, here's my deadline make-over:

Favors and Hood for JR Smith and the Brooklyn pick.

Burks and Rubio for Beverley and Gallo.

JJ and our protected first rounder for Mirotic.

Getting Niko or Fournier would be IMO like when the jazz traded for Horny back in the day, and he was the piece that put the jazz over the top, both have the potential to unlock this offense.

Glad somebody's getting it.
 
I'm all for getting Niko, but don't overpay and don't rush it. He has a couple weeks to come down to earth. I think we have a standing offer there or the main components of an offer. He will hurt the tank and that is item of business number one in my mind.

Lose tonight and you are looking at two more loses before going on the road for 4 games where we have been awful. Could win at Phoenix or Memphis, but lose those games and we are likely sitting in the 7 spot... which is right where we need to be.

Honestly if we waited until the offseason and they didn't move Mirotic we can likely get him for even less... we could trade our unguaranteed contracts and a couple seconds for him.

Okay, so if Fournier was a target, would you consider this deal:

Rubio, Burks, JoeJ and our 2nd
for
Fournier and Biyombo

Why for Magic - the new management has said they want a clean slate. Rubio and Burks are expirings next year. Fournier and Biyombo are due $34 million in 2019-20. Fournier is due another $17 in 2020-21. Most people think Biyombo is one of the worst contracts in the NBA. Orlando gets to shed that.

Why for us: We want to win now. Fournier spreads the floor creating space we need and he is close with Rudy. Sure, this is expensive, but both players are useful to us. Biyombo would be an asset should Gobert get in foul trouble or get hurt. Taking Biyombo keeps us from having to use our 1st. Could be the first of a few deals to start the roster shakeup. This guves us an open roster spot to pursue other big deals using Favors and Hood.

Bold, but what do you think?

It's a compelling idea, but given that Burks & Rubio are under contract for next season, I don't think Orlando would do it. Fournier is still a valuable piece that could likely yield a salary dump and draft pick in return. I think inserting Hood into deal maybe gets it done if they like Rodney.

Leonard would choose not to sign with us for the same reason he wants to leave The Spurs

He hates Pop and doesn't like to be rushed back from injury?

Has he not heard the legend of George Hill's 30 games for a stubbed toe? Or seen Rodney Hood held out 3 games for a week old bruised shin? I would think guys who want to make a lot of money rehabbing would be lining up to play in Utah.

He has been critical of the Spurs because they don't attract stars, and sounds like he wants to go to a big market.
