Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

I've said all along the Jazz could get in on taking Denver's somewhat dead money next year for assets but it's possible they think they have a shot in 2018 FA.
 
Faried + 1st rnd pick for Johnson is obviously a good move for us, but I hardly see Denver going for that.
 
Highly doubtful.

Yeah, like a GM from another team is going to say "I've heard of this Hood guy, but we haven't really seen him play. Give him big minutes in the Memphis game so we can get a look at him." lol
 
In the off chance that Denver deals a first, it won't be to the Utah Jazz. Even if it is a good deal for them, even if our front offices are besties. Their fans would straight up riot.
I mean, they got to give it to someone. IDK how many teams have the expiring contracts to match and are willing to take on the future salary. But you are right, Utah wouldnt be one of their first choices.

The are happy with Lyles from what I hear, hes been holding up his end. Win-win ;)
 
I've vacillated and now I don't know if I think we should move anyone... doesn't seem like there are any good deals out there...

Yeah I remember my "Naw, I'm pretty happy with where Trey Lyles is headed, this is fine!" justification as Booker was killing it. Whatever keeps your head out of the oven. . .

Can you imagine the insane trade value of another Denver Nuggets pick traded to the Jazz would be? Get that pick, select someone surprising, put it up on NBA GM ebay. . .
 
WTF are you talking about?

I remember talking myself into Lyles being some sort of star and that us selecting him ahead of Booker was a pretty close call. Denver fans are now doing the same thing with Mitchell. I get it because I have been there with them.
