Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

[David Stern]

I'm just glad that a trade finally happened. I bet you see 2-3 more trades happen in the next 48 hours. It will be interesting to see if the Jazz are one of them.

According to most recent Woj news, Clippers dont look to be tanking. Good to see.

Maybe Chicago just doesn't trade Mirotic? I bet Hood gets traded still but i have no clue where or what for

Maybe.

Detroit has nothing we need. I'm not sure they had anything we needed BEFORE the Clips deal. Still love Stanley though.

They don't want him, and that's obvious. If the Bulls are smart, they'd move him now, before his value takes even more of a hit than it has at this point.

Wonder if Utah was in the Blake Conversations? I think a package of Favors, Hood, and Burks is a better package or at least equal to Harris, Bradley, and Marjanovic.

Reggie Jackson and Stanley Johnson for Rubio and Hood???

1. LA probably didnt want to trade Griffin in conference. Given that the two deals arent that different in value (IMO), they probably opt to get Blake to the East.
2. Utah maybe didnt want Blake's huge salary given his injury history

Are they throwing in their 2020 and 2022 unprotected first round picks?

If not, hell no. That's a huge downgrade in talent for Utah.

Plus we have Sundance for his film aspirations. I know I would have been excited but very very nervous about his injury/age/contract status.

That contract has potential to be an absolute albatross. He could be a superstar there though and it might work out... I just don’t think we are desperate enough to go all in.

This will help our pursuit of Mirotic... gonna end up being expirings and 2 seconds.

This trade is also a hint at how cap flexibility and first round picks are now valued.

Really interesting stuff
