Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

[David Stern]

Here is my full-on "**** it, we're starting over" trade proposal that won't happen, but would still be fun:

Orlando clears a ****-ton of money, and gets to start over. The Jazz probably have to pay the LT next season and take back some garbage contracts... but will have a legit core locked up for at least 4 seasons.

Locke is the one that said teams were lukewarm. Lmao

Not a bad thought, but I bet Orlando would prefer:

Favors, Johnson, Thabo and our 1st
for
Gordon, Fournier and Ross

All expirings and a lottery pick for those 3 players. If they are looking for a reboot, that will do it. The trade would save them $28.5+Gordon's new deal in 2018-19. That's $50+ million in contracts they won't have to pay out. They would only be left with $50 in contracts after they decline Shelvin Mack's option. That's a hard reset for Orlando and they would lose a ton down the stretch by waiving Joe and Thabo out.

LET THE RECORD SHOW - I wouldn't do that, but I bet Orlando would.

Mannix is a Boston homer... of course he'd say that.

Pretty thorough video of his game highlights

I remember that Utah game and thinking he seemed to have gained more spring after his injury. He is so skilled offensively I think the key would be getting him to be an efficient, smart offensive player and to be a neutral defensive player.

Exactly. Thank you.

Regardless of the deal made (as long as the Jazz don’t get stupid about it), I’d be very happy with getting Gordon and Fournier - even if it effectively locks the Jazz into their roster for 3 years. It’s a big gamble, but one that I could see paying big dividends. I like it.

 

[FalseFlagg K]

realistically i have little hope for getting a good stretch 4 unless DL has some unknown trick up his sleeve.

prepare for more constipated offense

Pretty much skips the rebuild. Removes a lot of guesswork. I don't know if it's a champion, but... hell, maybe. That is a crazy athletic, gritty, well-rounded, good shooting defensive juggernaut.

If we added Fournier ($17) and Gordon (expecting Gordon to get a max which is $27 million first year WOW)

2018 salaries:
Gobert $23
Ingles $13
Mitchell $3.1
Bradley $1.7
O'Neale $1.4
Exum $10 (let's just say that's what he gets)
TOTAL: $57 million
Four&Gor: $44
New TOTAL (8 players): $101

Rubio ($14.5) - we could try to trade if we value Exum more
Burks ($11.5) - we would pray to trade
We are over the luxury at around $126+
Thabo ($5.3) - probably let go
Udoh ($3.4) - we would keep if we could dump Burks
Jerekbo ($4.2) - probably let go

If we did a trade getting Fournier and signing Gordon to a max deal, wow our finances are tough. Jerekbo and Thabo are casualties for sure. Maybe Udoh too. Burks would have to be dumped to avoid the tax. The most simple thing to do would be to trade Rubio for an expiring. And did you see, Hood isn't even on here.
