Hood and JJ for Crowder and Shumpert and pick.

Willing to include Tomic if they're wanting to add some height and defense.

I dont want Crowder at all.

Tomic doesn't even want to be in the NBA.

Nonsense. He's ring chasing. The Cavs would be wise to make the move. They may face the Spurs in the finals and could find themselves in need of a Gasol stopper.

You don't get the joke.

Hood is good, but Hood isnt get back 3 positive assets good.

That may be true. But my counterargument would be that they aren't just getting Hood. We are also taking Bayless off of their books which is something they want. Plus if Korkmaz is one of the positive assets we are getting back we are taking a risk because of his Lisfranc injury. So it may warrant more in return.

I don't think it's that simple for Utah.

If you deal Favors then you need to find a replacement for Favors. The Jazz currently have 3 PF's on the roster, but the word seems to be that JJ is getting bought out post-deadline if he isnt moved. If you move Favors, then all you are left with is Jerebko. They'd also have Niang on a 2-way contract, but for a team trying to make a playoff push it seems unlikely that they would want to go w/ a Jerebko/Niang rotation at the 4.

*Id love to see Niang get minutes though just to see if he can play in the NBA. He has been incredible in the G-League*

I think Royce can play small ball 4 too. I don't think Favs is moved for nothing. He's been great lately and his 15-20 footer is pretty damn automatic right now... so I agree.

I'm not moving Favs just for matching expiring salary and a crap second rounder... if it's pick 30-37 or if he is needed to add value to Hood then okay. I think we could get a PF in the deal too.

Whateve happens with Favs... I'm a fan for life. Straight class.

This sounds somewhat dumb but they also need to clear some roster spots for next year. They have so many seconds and guys like Bolden won't wait forever. They need to consolidate some of their stuff... TLC, Anderson, Korkmaz... I bet one gets dealt in the next 6 months.

Tomic basically has super powers that make any unequal trade equal just by including him to fill the gap.

We've gone from "we will for sure make a trade, it would be a huge failure if we did not" to "yeah I'm okay if we don't make trades."
