Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I tend to agree. I’m glad that it’s starting to click. I like Favors and I’m enjoying this defense with Gobert back and Rubio playing at a high level.

Still hoping for an Aaaron Gordon deal, but not counting on anything. Happy to keep Favors.

I dont know if it's really starting to click (in terms of the Favors thing), but the Jazz are returning to their elite defensive play they had to start the year. The problem then was Rubio was completely new to the team and was a mess in the system with tons of turnovers and we had no dominant scoring threat like we do now w/ Mitchell.

Our offense will probably regress again at some point. Mitchell cant be great every night, Ingles isnt going to shoot lights out every game, and Rubio will probably scatter some poor efficiency scoring nights in, but as long as the D stays elite and they play smart they should be fine. The schedule is soft and they can go back to feasting on mediocre teams who cant score on them and our now in the malaise of the 2nd half of the season.

Hell, maybe Exum will even be good in his return.

Anyone heard anything about whats going to happen with Joe Johnson? or Hood for that matter?

Portland fan on RealGM proposed Vonleh and 1st(protected) for Hood with an option for Vonleh, Harkless and 1st for Hood and JJ. Would you do that one?

A Boston fan proposed Larkin/Nader/BOS 1st for Hood. Would you do that?

What if it was the LAC 1st(which is lottery protected)?

It's very possible the LAC pick turns into 2 seconds but if it doesn't it will be much higher than Boston's pick...

Which one do you value higher - BOS or LAC pick?

According to Marc Stein Joe Johnson has asked to be traded. It's unknown whether that will he happen. He could be bought out as well. Rumor is a lot of teams are interested in Hood and the Jazz are listening to offers.

Would depend on how high the pick was, I like Harkless but neither of those guys are anywhere as good as Hood.

Portland's pick right now is no. 21.

There have been reports from various insiders that the price for Tyreke Evans is a first round pick. I just read an article where Ramona Shelburne reported that the Lakers have been offered a first round pick (she hinted from more than one team) for Jordan Clarkson. So Rodney Hood should be able to fetch a first too if the Jazz want it.

I cant imagine anyone offering a 1st without a tonne of bad salary for Clarkson.

I think she said teams are offering a 1st for Clarkson+Randle

I like winning and we might not need to shake anything up too massively. We also want to keep an eye on the future. Our "trade bait" is down to these 3:

JoeJ wants out for a contender. Either trade him to Philly or buy him out.

Burks - the best business we could do this deadline is dump his 2018/19 salary. So trade him and multiple 2nd rounders to Atlanta for expirings???

Hood - I really wish Detroit had their 1st because Stanley and their 1st for Hood and a 2nd would have been great. At this point, get me a 1st from somewhere and lets move on.

Shed Burks, lose 2nds and add a 1st.

Not that I disagree, but why do you say that?

I’ve wanted to keep him and have hoped that the Jazz could figure out how to get Gobert/Favors to work. I’m still hopeful that he’s not just an expiring.

I doubt we keep him after this year but I agree the odds of him being traded are low. The teams that would make sense are teams in the hunt for a title that want to rent him for part of a season. The other places that would want him want us to take stuff in return that we dont want.
