What would you give up for Westbrook?

[addictionary]

They better learn how to play D or they will get exploited next season. Especially if they lose Steven Adams to a middle level important injury.

And remember kids, if you ever use Jazzfanz App, use it safe.

I think I'd say pick two of anyone. Except Gobert and Favors (one, not both) Maybe throw in a first rounder, done.

This is how I feel too. I would throw in another first to get it done though.

 

[fishonjazz]

There's no way to guarantee that he'd re-sign with the Jazz

This is what you call a hypothetical situation. It's just a discussion not based in reality.

Now that I have explained that.... What would you give up for westbrook if you knew for a fact that he would sign with the jazz long term?

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

If he is willing to sign here why are we trading for him?

Come on, KC, it's just a hypothetical exercise, be nice and play along.

 

[Bawse Dawg]

This is how I feel too. I would throw in another first to get it done though.

As long as we are playing this game:
They ask for Hayward and Favors and two firsts, you do it? How confident are you that we could win the title or at least make the finals in the next five years with
Westbrook/Exum
Hood/Burks
Hood?/???
Lyles
Gobert

Westbrooks game will age horribly, so by the end of that five years our window will be closed. Do you cash in on the rebuild for five years of that team?

Thats a tough one for me. I'd probably do it though.

If he is willing to sign here why are we trading for him?

He's not doing it out of the kindness of his heart. At that point we could offer more money and years than anyone else.

But you knew that of course.

I say no. A pretty firm no too. Which is weird for me to say since I have been saying that we should do anything and everything for a star.

 

[fishonjazz]

Just answer the question.

If we could trade for westbrook and it was guaranteed he would sign long term with the jazz then what would you give up for him.
Don't change the discussion or say what if this or that..... Just answer the question.

 

[The Jazz Wonderbra]

There's no way to guarantee that he'd re-sign with the Jazz, therefore, I wouldn't trade anything significant to get him. After losing Durant, I think OKC will just double down and build around Westbrook. Try to land a SF next year that can somewhat fill the hole that Durant left. They'll likely fight for the last few playoff spots for the next couple of years. If that's the case, that draft pick from Kanter could end up being a really solid asset.

This. No point in reloading OKC for a 1 year rental of a player going elsewhere. Don't get me wrong, incredible player! But guys, do you seriously think he is staying? If OKC thought he was staying, they wouldn't trade him.

Here's a hypothetical:

If Michael Jordan in his prime were to ask your sister on a date, what players on the current team would you trade to be able to pin the corsage on his left nut?

ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!

 

[green]

Maybe favors and hood (or burks) and picks.


Westbrook, hill, exum
Hill, burks, exum
Hayward, jj, ingles
Lyles, diaw, jj
Gobert, withey

I think okc would want hayward to be the main piece though.

This.

If we trade for a superstar, it will revolve around Favors and Hood. Why?

The Jazz are all in on Exum, which is why I don't think they would trade for Westbrook if he was available. They believe in Exum.

They are also all in on Gobert. They feel he is a one of a kind player and won't let him go. I disagree, but don't be surprised if the Jazz have Gobert locked up before the season starts.

The Jazz will also do everything they can to keep Hayward.

Burks has zero value in the league right now. He never plays, and when he plays, statistically the Jazz are worse.

Hood has value as a good starter or great bench player. Favors still has all star potential.

If we make a big move, it will involve Favors and Hood.

And for the record, I like Favors more than Gobert. I'd try to move Gobert and Hood.
