Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

Why do you feel the need to repeat the same exact point dozens of times? I mean, you even acknowledge that you're running like a broken record on this. Do you not find that behavior irritating when others do it?

I’d assume you’ve poked around JF enough to see this is a common theme here, no?

I just hope he doesn't go to Cleveland. I am holding out hope that we can somehow get a deal done with the Cavs. Maybe get Love. Kinda a good news, bad news scenario. I wish we could have Fav for the long-term if he is going to sign with us but if he is gone, I want to get something for him. If we can get Love, we would pretty much be looking to next year getting a better draft position and getting Love for the future.

Whoever mentioned Favors, Hood and Rubio for Love; I’d do that. Three weeks ago people would have given their right arm for that.

Was that stacked? Klay is good, but outside of a few restricted guys and a few who might opt out, I didn't see much. Kyrie and Kawhi are interesting, obviously, but I really doubt we have a chance on those guys.
 
Udoh out for "personal reasons". Man, that sounds like trade talks. Would be a good fit in Cleveland. If Utah wants to keep Favors for this year, selling on Udoh makes sense w/ Bradley in line for the backup minutes next year.

I dont see anything we could get for Udoh that would be worth trading him for. They are not giving up a 1st. There is no player I want from Cavs that they are trading for him and Udoh is worth more to us than a 2nd.

Unless he is part of a bigger trade involving more players than I dont see why we would trade him.

1. He would get a 2nd round pick or two
2. He isnt going to every play anything but spot minutes if the Jazz don't trade Favors
3. The Jazz used a first round pick to draft Tony Bradley, who has been great in the G-League. I'm sure they want to give him minutes next year, maybe even some spot minutes this year. Hard to do that with Udoh.
4. He might get you a first if you package him with Hood. Udoh packaged w/ Hood might have more value to teams than Favors packaged w/ Hood because of how cheap Udoh is this year and next. You can have them both on your roster next year.

I think it makes more sense to clear Favors for Udoh rather than the other way around.

Just my $0.02.

Not following.

Favors is hard to move and get fair value back. The Jazz dont want to give away a starter for a 2nd round pick.

Udoh on the other hand, is a rotation player who cant play when the team is fully healthy (37 minutes in 9 games since Gobert's return juts cuz of blowouts mostly). So you can move him for a 2nd and it feels better because he was a cheap pickup. It feels like a good flip job. Plus he plays the same position as a guy you traded up for in the first round to get, who is killing it in the G-League. You need to open up minutes for him.

These are the guys I like (and yes it is "stacked", not many FA classes have this much top end talent)

Kawhi Leonard
Jimmy Butler
Eric Bledsoe https://www.basketball-reference.co...n=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-
Ricky Rubio https://www.basketball-reference.co...n=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-
Kemba Walker
Klay Thompson
Tobias Harris
[URL='https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/m/mirotni01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-']Nikola Mirotic[/URL]
Devin Bookerhttps://www.basketball-reference.co...n=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-
Kelly Oubre Jr.
Justise Winslow
Jordan Bellhttps://www.basketball-reference.co...n=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-
Kristaps Porzingis
Kyrie Irving
Harrison Barneshttps://www.basketball-reference.co...n=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-
Khris Middleton
Kevin Love

Take away; Porzingis, Kyrie, Booker and Klay (who I dont think we have a chance at), the rest should be targets.

Also, these super max deals are going to get teams in trouble before long. Take a look at John Walls contract, its just not viable to compete when someone takes 35% of your cap. I expect him to be on the move before the end of next season.
