Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

[SCS]

The question isn't who is better between Hood and Crowder. The question is what's better between Hood + either Rubio or Exum OR Crowder + Rubio and Exum AND financial flexibility? The latter is the answer.

Wtf did $15Mil come from. We are talking MAX!!!! Thats whys Ive been arguing we save every penny, to have a distinct advantage in this situation.

Gtfoh.

I never said max. You assumed which is common.

WHAT I SAID

#1 - most of the league has ample 2019 cap space
#2 - are we a major free agent destination? I forget...
#3 - Aaron Gordon or Parker is a bigger acquisition than we ever have had in free agency

So you trade for the right to get the fantastic asset rather than hope really, really hard.

WHAT MDAV SAID

Most of the league certainly does not have 2019 cap space.

Deadline is almost here. Looks like Favors is staying. I wonder if the Jazz will extend an offer in the offseason, or if they'll just let him walk.

I bet he doesn't get any crazy offers. I'd keep him for what he's currently making.

This just sounds dumb to me. Get rid of the better player for a crappy pick? I don’t understand the reasoning.

I think we want to start Crowder and Ingles... I don't see either guy thrilled to go to the bench. Favs is just nice salary dump and the first could be Rudy (it won't be but it would be from Denver).

Favors is likely gone this summer. Before we even get there, we might have to do something with Crowder vs Favors at starting PF. If Favors leaves, we don't replace him.

By doing the deal, we get an adequate PF for the bench for the rest of this year and next. Sure, we might could do better in free agency, but we don't want to sign somebody in the summer that interrupts 2019 space UNLESS we get a major asset (like Gordon, etc.). So Faried plays off the bench and we get a 1st rounder which is very valuable right now.

It's not perfect, but maybe we could package our first and the Denver first to move up to get the exact player we want.

No doubt in my mind that it’s better to keep Favors and start him and Jingles with Crowder coming in off the bench.

What about the last 140 pages where we'v been trying to get this through your head?

We need a MAX guy, always have since Benedict left. Im throwing 4 or 5yr MAX at Butler and ________.

Good luck with Biyombo, Gordon and your $15M guy though.

I don't have the time to tell you who has max space in 2019, but I will bet my *** that there are more likely free agent destinations available than our Utah Jazz. Have we ever signed a max free agent?

They going to let him walk. They dont want to tie up future money. Wont be entirely shocked if Jae Crowder is the starting PF in 2018.

You're probably right. It's kind of sad. Been with us for ages. Always the professional.
