Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

[LoPo]

We also save $5 million in this deal. Crowder and Rose combine to make $8.2; Johnson and Hood make $13.

We cut him guaranteed... we don't want his BS around our team.

I was kidding.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

This should surprise no one but we save a couple million in this deal... maybe more if someone picks up Rose once we waive him. We are the cheapest "buyers" ever.

Not real happy right now.

 

[Sneakers]

So its Hood for Crowder because Joe was getting bought out either way...

.... we get an affordable starter / high quality bench player (down year granted). Hood probably better than crowder but crowder costs a third...

Trade works.

Now, what the hell are we getting for Hood?

Jae Crowder, cap flexibility and we keep Rubio and Exum.

I said this last night. Mitchell, Rubio and Exum we can make work despite all 3 needing the basketball to be at their best. If you add Hood to that as a 4th who needs the ball it doesn't work. If we kept Hood past the deadline we are committed to match any offer he gets this summer. So who's gone in that scenario between Rubio (who is a better player than Hood) and Exum (who has more upside than Hood and will be far cheaper)? I like Rodney. But it was wise for us to move on.

I like Crowder but... man Hood should've fetched more than that.

Crowder having a down year, but is there any doubt Quin fixes his game? Crowder is better than any player we could get with a late first.

Cavs really making some great moves to redo their team.

Now it makes sense for Jazz to try to keep Favs in the off-season. Rose will likely be bought out.

About 2.5M prorated for the year.

 

[LoPo]

Hood and the FO/coaching staff must have had a very clear conversation about the future. And then they both had an understanding that Hood had to go.

Problem with trading hood is that he is one of the few shooters Utah has

 

[enchilada_style]

So Jae is our stretch 4, right?

 

[LoPo]

About 2.5M prorated for the year.

I understand that. I brought up the money because we might not be done dealing. We would be pretty far away from the luxury if we tried another deal now.

 

[Pastramiking]

Do you think Derrick Rose will even suit up for Jazz?
