Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

[Handlogten's Heros]

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.

I don’t think it changes things that much tbh but it would be a bad look and I imagine a couple guys would be pissed either way... those guys are all well liked.

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.

If anything the more they win, the more likely they are to make a trade.

But yeah, I don't think you trade Hood to the Pelicans unless it's a great deal, which the Pelicans can't make. Not a great idea to give Anthony Davis any good players if you can help it.

If we like Frank Jackson we could do Udoh for Frank and Ajinca. Gives them a good center on the cheap and a little wiggle room under the LT to bring in a buyout guy... I would have to check with the trade machine doe.

Nvm... doesn’t work salary cap wise.

 

[Coach Ellis]

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.

Plus, Donovan plays much better with rest. I’m hoping a lighter load up to the All Star break will give him the rest he needs to lead the team on a playoff push at the end here. With Denver, L.A. and New Orleans dealing with different issues, I could see the Jazz fighting their way back into it. It’ll be a hard fought slog, but I don’t think it’s impossible.

Yep. Screw the Pels. Hope that **** blows up on them and they’re forced to move AD in two years. Between that and the repeater tax killing the Warriors, there’s a good chance that the West looks very different in 2020.

I really don't see the FO making any trades out of concern for this season, unless we go on a run and are near playoff contention at the deadline, and maybe not even then.

 

[Engorged On Unborn Gore]

Starting lineup I want to see:

Gobert
Mirotic
Ingles
Fournier
Mitchell

I don’t care how it gets done.

Trade deadline is in like two weeks.

Trade deadline is in like two weeks.

I'm aware of that. Utah is five games back of Denver with five games to play before the Deadline. If somehow Utah found a way to be sitting at the 8 seed or a game or two out maybe that changes the calculus a bit at the deadline.

Would anybody be okay trading Burks for Al Jefferson? Al has a nonguaranteed contract for next year. Honestly, I would be okay waiving him immediately to open a roster spot. Indy plays Al 14 mpg right now. And in the playoffs, Al is pretty worthless. Burks might do all right there. Low risk for Indy.
