We HAVE to make a trade.

[Shad]

can we go back in time and sign bellijnca?

It blows my mind that we didn't go hard for Mirotic or bel. They would have been perfect for us. But guys, who are we kidding ourselves? We all know we are only going to go after defensive players in the off season who can't shoot

Who’s job is it to get assets?

He got Mitchell/Gobert/Ingles...

Sorry he wasnt the GM of a team that tanked for years on years and stockpiled them, didnt have Billy King to **** over, and isn't on a team where free agents lineup to join.

And the players you have need to play well. If O'Neale/Exum took a step forward, they'd be assets. If Crowder could consistently play like Boston Jae, he'd be a major asset. I don't think those 3 things where pie in the sky hopes. They should be happening.

This isnt even close to being DL's fault.

After watching us play, I'm ready to gamble on Fultz. This makes sense for all 3 teams:

Jazz get Fultz and Korkmaz
Sixers get Korver and Burks
Cavs get Muscala, Bradley and multiple 2nd rounders from us
http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=yczy8by8

Why for Sixers - they want shooting and quality depth without sacrificing 2019 free agency. Burks and Korver are both expiring.

Why for Cavs - they aren't getting a 1st for Korver but they might be happy with a young center like Bradley and multiple 2nd rounders.

Why for us - we roll the dice on a guy who might just need better development. He is worth the risk because we desperately need another scorer. Korkmaz could be a diamond in the rough on this deal too.

If we can get Fultz for that we should absolutely go for it. Get him out of the Philly pressure cooker. Our great group of guys would make him welcome, we could lower expectations and most of all give him time to get right. Let him get back to it in the D league for a bit.

At this point, I'm on board with the mid size trades we've had over the last couple years. Doesn't have to be a huge one.

Before the start of last season, DL made a smart move for Rubio that was pretty low cost, and far better than the Hill trade.
Ricky's had a rough season but there is no way we make the playoffs without him.

Mid season, DL dumps Hood straight up for Crowder. Again, that probably got us to the playoffs, or at least made it easier.

The assets are there to replicate it that. It doesn't have to be for an Otto Porter or Kevin Love right now. If there's a move
for I dunno, Mirotic or a starter below that level, that would be the shot in the arm needed. Consolidate Burks, O'Neale,
maybe Exum, etc. in to a solid 6th man guard to back up Mitchell and Rubio, or a better back up for Favors/Gobert/Crowder.
Maybe Fultz fits the bill. Pick a winner between him and Exum and go from there. Maybe that allows Exum to become the wing
he should evolve in to.

DL hasn't been as aggressive as I'd like. But he made a plan and stuck to it, and has consistently progressed trade by trade.
I just want him to keep it up.

Most people here praised the Crowder trade. We all thought he could kind of return to his Boston play and be one of the best role players on a cheap deal. It hasnt happened. Is it DL's fault he's shooting 26% from 3 in November?

 

[LoPo]

Sixers want a first and an expiring serviceable player for Fultz. https://www.google.com/amp/s/sixers...ixers-markelle-fultz-trade-latest-rumors/amp/

Cleveland is a team that makes sense because they have Korver, but Cleveland isn't sending their 1st. I doubt Phoenix or Orlando would either. Contenders won't want him.

So the question is, since we arent a contender, why not take a chance? My three way trade just makes too much sense for us and Sixers. Dont know why Cavs say no either. I would trade Burks, Bradley and 2nd rounders for Fultz all day long.

Last year Crowder was a piece in a trade for a super-star PG. That's how good of a role player he was.

Now, he's probably just a throw in for salary matching.

 

[LoPo]

No, Crowder is worth more than that especially with his contract. He loves being here and he has value to us. To me, Gobert, Mitchell, Ingles, Crowder and Grayson are the only players I don't touch.

I would trade our first because I believe in our core to figure it out. We are going to end up around .500 or better so our 1st won't have that much value. It is better served on a high potential value or a proven commodity.

OH MY GOD!!! this site is turning into virtual toys “R” Us, and how did things work out for that business? @LoPo is infecting jazzfanz with his outrageous propaganda I can’t eeeffffing take it anymore.

Washington owner is cheap as hell. Take on Mahinmi's contract since we aren't gonna sign a free agent anyway, then give them the max amount of cash in a deal (what is it, 5mil?) that they can use to fire Scotty Brooks.

I'm in on beal. Start donovan at the point

I don't think we have a great shot, but Mahinmi's contract is horrid. Minnesota tried so hard go dump Dieng with Butler but couldn't.

Rubio, Burks, Thabo, Bradley, 1st rounders and 2nd rounders for Beal and Mahinmi is a strong offer.

Wiz avoid luxury, shed $40+ million and get multiple 1sts. Not bad...

You guys live in some kind of fantasy land. We aren’t getting Beal, even if DL throws in a “pretty please” for that pile fof crap, idiots!!

Lol

Yes, I’m laughing at your idiocy as well

We need to do something. Even a minor deal would send a message.

Sent from my VS995 using JazzFanz mobile app

Lol what kind of message does a minor trade send? What the hell would that do for the jazz?

Dennis Lindsey doesn't do major trades, it's just not his m.o. I expect him to make a minor deal right at the deadline that doesn't really move the needle at all.

The trade for Burks, trade for Gobert, trade up for Mitchell, trade for Crowder, trade for Hill. STFU, idiot!!

Who’s job is it to get assets?

I guess we could trade DM. And Gobert, that would get us assets, idiot. How in the hell are we getting any major assets, Exum? Favors? O’Neale? Oh, I know... Udoh will get it done, brilliant, why the hell hasnt DL shipped Udoh’s *** out for two first rounders yet, fire his ***!!

can we go back in time and sign bellijnca?

I wanted him so bad

Fultz is exactly what we need... if we have decided to tank the season.

We need him, and his 9million he will make next year to tank? We are doing a great job of that on our own without him

 

[fishonjazz]

No to fultz
YES to Beal
I guess so but might regret it to OPJ

The only player that we could possibly get to salvage this season is Bobby Portis from the Bulls. All other options are either paired with toxic contract or flat out mediocrity. If we don't get Portis, I'd say let's trade for as many first round draft picks as we possibly can for this next year's draft, which is stacked with long and athletic forwards that the Jazz desperately need at the moment. Zion, Bol Bol, Reddish, Little, Rui, DeAndre Hunter, Sekou...... I'd say get them all.

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Mirotic

BTW I love Lindsey and he deserves some buffer zone, wouldn't dream of firing him or anything. And hey, I was definitely wrong about looking into Jabari Parker. But Lindsey was wrong on Bjelicia and Mirotic. I don't think there is much argument to be made there.

We can't say "No one around here suggested anything different" Many, many people did.
