Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

[LoPo]

The team didnt suck because of Love. The team sucked because of their management.

Like I said in my novel, Love can be a very good player. However, as the #1 option, his team was terrible. You're right, they didn't build around him. Whether the FO sucked or not, it doesn't take away the fact that the Cavs won the title without Love doing much at all. LeBron won more games without Love and Kyrie 3 finals ago than they did with Love and Kyrie.

I just don't believe Love is our missing piece. If he was a free agent, maybe. Giving up a bunch of assets for the guy is a risk I wouldn't take.

To me it's wild the 3-team deal (just having hte same trade, but sending Mirotic to Utah and Favors to NOLA) hasnt happened yet. The only explanation is that the Pels or Jazz don't want to help each other out.

Or that they don’t want Favors and want something else. They may have had certain protections on the pick if it was Niko and maybe they want different protections now.

It does seem like it should work and that Favs would fit well with Davis. If the Jazz are doing it just because we are competing that is sooooooo dumb. We are more likely to catch Denver imo. Pelicans will make a win-now trade with someone... whether we do a deal or not.

I don’t think that is it... we have made several deals with Denver so I don’t think much thought is given.

I just think even if NO didn’t like the Favs deal as much as the Niko deal we could offer Jerebko and either we take Ajinca or Chicago does... we could add a second rounder if they wanted to take Ajinca. Could also add holiday to NO Jerebko or Thabo to Chicago... I’d like to keep one of those guys to backup Niko next year.

Bwahahahahahaha!

Or DL doesn't value Mirotic.

Nah I think he’s just about perfect for what we want given the price age and such. I mean ideally you’d get someone who is a rugged defender and more of a playmaker but if Niko had that with the offensive repertoire then he’d be an every year all star and you ain’t getting that on the cheap.

Or DL doesn't value Mirotic.

We know that isnt the case as all of the reports say otherwise.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Or DL doesn't value Mirotic.

I doubt that, he's exactly what Snyder is looking for in a 4. He can shoot post up and a good passer. Maybe Favors has told management he wants to resign on a team friendly deal. I don't know. All I know is he's exactly the player the jazz have been looking to add

I read that report and was like so NY wants to get rid of one of the worst contracts in the league but they are like we won’t give you anything good to incentivize it... bet they had a lot of short conversations.

Can’t blame them for trying... was shocked Milwaukee was able to trade that awful plumlee contract but I think the league is now much more adverse to sp bring.

NO also may think they can get Monroe... they may have know he would become available. I think they are right at the tax though so they might need to lose some salary to sign him.

If Boston gets Monroe and a deal doesn't happen then I think NO just didn't want Favs.

 

[LoPo]

Monroe would be perfect for New Orleans. But still, they have to find a way to dump Asik.

If New Orleans could add Monroe then trade us Asik and their 1st for Joe Johnson and a 2nd, that would be wise business for them. Too bad we are both fighting for the playoffs.

 

[enchilada_style]

Joe Johnson wants to be traded according Marc Stein. Can't blame him.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Stein says Joe Johnson is angling for a trade out of Utah. I love Joe Jesus and will forever be a fan... but I think this would be wise for us too. Guessing he is bought out though because most nights he just looks done.

He can't go to Boston though... only caveat.

He's been a great mentor and a good soldier... we will oblige either through trade or buyout.
