We HAVE to make a trade.

Last year he did say he wanted to play on the jazz, we could probably sign him in the offseason, right? Why throw away draft picks?

If this supposed Davis deal does happen and if NOLA goes for a rebuild, I would make a massive push for Jrue Holiday AND Mirotic. Jrue has a big contract, but he would be awesome for us.

Let’s pretend there’s a dance you want to go to. There’s a neighbor girl that’s really cool, she’s fun, and she’s cute, and she really wants to go with you. Thinking that, hey, who knows, maybe Shania Twain is going to show up and want to go with you, and you need to keep that option open, so you just kinda ignore your neighborhood girl. Well, when it gets down to it you find out that, no, Shania Twain isn’t going out with you, so you end up going to the dance with a few of your buddies who also don’t have dates. Neighbor girl, on the other hand, goes with someone else who wanted to ask her.

Next dance rolls around, what happens?

Can we take the approach of always leaving that girl on the back burner, just assuming she’s there when called upon, just because she wanted to go with us earlier, but we held out for a “possible” Shania Twain but ended up going with a couple guys?

The DL way is to talk about Shania and the neighbor girl but keep banging the tinder skanks who are flawed but easy.

Seems legit.

Nice article: https://thejnotes.com/2018/11/29/utah-jazz-korver-deal-adds-teams-stockpile-trade-exceptions/

I had mentioned the Korver trade exception in his thread. We also have the Johnson & Hood trade exceptions which expire in February of 2019 (3.7M & 2.4M). I doubt DL is going to let those expire. And both can be combined in one trade or used separately (or all three can be used in one trade).

Edit: They can't be combined. I misread. I'm going to get a refund from hooked on Phonics.

Nope. We're done. NO ONE wants Exum. I think he has even less value than Fultz now that he's being paid so much. Rubio? Who is going to trade anything of value for Ricky. Well, I guess Ricky or Favors as an expiring salary PLUS Utah's first might be of value. But c'mon, Lindsey had a fantastic deal staring him in the face last season and wouldn't trade the first. I don't see the Jazz being far enough ahead of teams, or secure enough in the playoff picture by the deadline. Lindsey will hold on to the 1st like it's the last hot item on Black Friday.

Plus, I think Dennis really believes Utah is a free agent destination. Surely the new practice facility is all that a young 20-something could ever want in a city. If not Lebron or Durant, certainly Thompson or Middleton. So he'll make some calls when business opens up this summer, lose out on the 1st tier and the 2nd and then decide the 3rd tier FA's are just too expensive, just like EVERY summer since he's been here.

I'm not 100% sure no one wants Exum.

There are rumors surrounding teams wanting Frank Ntlikina and he's worse than (but 3 years younger) than Exum.

Locke said on his podcast that he doesn't think this is the precursor to something bigger, or anything else. But my gut feeling is that was Company Man Locke speaking.

I don't think it is. There's 45 days between when the Korver trade happened and January 15th, which is when Exum/Favors become trade eligible. A lot of stuff can happen between then and now.

I'm pretty sure you can't combine them. However, they could be useful. Unfortunately, we rarely ever use trade exceptions. I think the last time we used a trade exception was to acquire Al Jefferson by using the one we got by trading Boozer.

We should try to use our exceptions. Guys like Jeff Green, Kaminsky, Korkmaz, Bobby Portis and some others might be available closer to the deadline. We might have to send out a minor asset, but it could make sense.

Nope, cant combine them. The exceptions are so small that they're relatively useless. The only way I could see them used is to help a team cut salary in connection with another trade. Or if a team approaches Utah to get under the tax by taking on some bench scrub. Then Utah could get a 2nd as the price.

You're correct - I totally misread the article. My mind is exploding with nonsense today.

It's all good man. But you bring up the most important point - we have trade exceptions and we should try to use them. There could be some decent trade exception type guys available before the deadline.

Use all our trade exemptions, Favors, Udoh, and Exum for Love

EDIT: Actually, we could do it for Exum OR Favors + fillers. I'm all for that
