Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

LMFAO Wow

Our biggest free agent in like a decade was 36 yr old Joe Johnson. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with putting a lot of eggs in the UFA superstar basket.

I think mostly this depends on how good the team is next year. I don't think they'll go after a big star this year, but if they have a top 4 team in the west and Donovan is a hot new star to go along with DPOY candidate Gobert I could definitely see a star being interested in teaming up at that point. I think most of what we've seen the last 8 years is that the Jazz haven't been good enough or had star players themselves in order to attract solid FA. Utah is a factor, but much bigger factors are team success, culture, and money.

Jazz's defense isn't taking a step back with Crowder, Royce O'Neal and Joe Ingles taking Hood and JJ's minutes.

Big improvement in hustle, durability and positional flexibility as well.

The media are gushing about how the Lakers have cleared space for two max FAs this summer. They can target Lebron and PG13.

What are they going to do if they both stay? That’d be freaking hilarious.

Still in great position to attack again in 2019. If they can fleece themselves out of Deng they may even be able to land 3 stars...

Offer Hood 20 million of course. . .

I hope Hood gets like 18-20mil so I don't feel as bad about trading him lol.

No! Youve got to draw a line somewhere. Ainge and Boston ****ing us over with Benedict/Crowder situations created that line.

Someone mentioned earlier but the only time we should be involved with Boston is in a deal that moves Benedict to basketball purgatory somehwere.

I'm glad the Jazz front office does not cut off our nose to spite our face.

Ainge had no reason to help us.

I have zero issues with the Hood for Crowder trade. Hood is the higher profile but unless he was hot, he didn't do much else to help us win games, and the slightest bump of the knee, he'd be out at least 5 games.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Crowder has played at least 73 games every year
