Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

0% disappointed we didn't get Mirotic. None of the speculated trades have me very excited. Most of DL's best moves have been very stealth, I am hoping the same applies here.
 
I listened to Nate Duncan and Danny the other day talking about Aaron Gordon. I think he would be more likely to be available than Jabari. Orlando is headed nowhere and will be close to the tax next year... for a **** roster. They really need to re-re-rebuild but not sure new management will want to do that given the last few years...

Anywell they made it out like Gordon would get 18-19M maybe $20 and werent sure he was worth it... said his trade value would be like a mid round first.

I kind of thought it was a given they'd max him (or someone would), but thought maybe he is more available than originally thought. His shooting has really fallen off. Got me thinking.

He has been dreadful of late, and also injury-prone ala Hood. Would be a great fit into this team though.
 
Hood for Johnson and minor draft considerations. Burks and multiple 2nd rounders to Hawks for expirings.

Worth a shot...

I'd take Stanley Johnson, but not for Hood. I loved Stanley, but that shot is flat broke right now and there isn't enough other stuff there to make it worth it. I'll keep Hood thanks.

We don't have to trade Hood... there's a chance he doesn't get paid like some might think. Keep him or sign him to a tradeable deal.
 
Again:

Lyles became a damn good player, and he had value sufficient to get us Donovan Mitchell (who I take over Devin Booker).
Ok. With our 15th pick I hope we don't get Exumed.

Exactly. The notion that keeping Hood is a failure is just weird.

Was thinking a Hood, FRP, AB, JJ for Gordon and Fournier.

I think Evan may get moved in a salary dump type transaction... if that happens why would Gordon want to stay as they'd head for a full re-build... we would not have flexibility after re-signing Gordon doe.

They are a team to watch.
 
The thing with Jabari and Gordon is that Zanik should have pretty good insight into both guys. He'll know what Milwaukee actually wants to pay Jabari. If this hasn't happened already, Zanik needs to call the Orlando GM, who he worked with in Milwaukee, and say, "We're going to max out Gordon. If you won't match the offer, then let's make a trade now so you get something for him." Hopefully he'd be able to get some insight as to what Orlando is/isn't willing to do with him.

That would be absolutely bonkers.

I would be very happy with that trade.

I would hope we would still put some restriction on the pick, at least top 3 or 10.
 
you doin alright?

Not really. Terrible post. I do think the Burks and 2nd rounders to Atlanta is possibility. They asked for 2nd rounders for Belinelli and Ilyasova a month ago as long as they don't take back a bad contract. I don't think a contract that expires in 2019 for Burks is a bad contract. They need players....

As for Hood for Johnson and minor draft considerations, I screwed up there. I meant to say Hood for Johnson and 1st round swaps for us. If we can move up 10-15 spots in an upcoming draft, that could be very good for us. I'd rather have a #10 pick instead of a #20 pick in a couple years over a #20 pick this year.

At this point, I think we either have to trade for a bad contract and a great asset (Knicks pick for example) or do our best to clear off as much space as possible for a run at Parker.
