Who Should the Jazz Bring In?

I like Gordon, I dont think he is an upgrade over Bojan this year. Bojan will bounce back to form, his shooting is already coming back up. Gordon is a better defender though and is much more athletic which would be nice. But he is not a good shooter. He has decent streaks from 3 but really isnt good and is a terrible free throw shooter, so he cant finish in important or close games. This trade has potential but I probably wouldnt risk it this year. We are the #1 seed still and I expect us to finish there or close. Maybe next off season if we dont win it all, but thats a big if! A new player will probably struggle to fit in. I have more expectations that Bojan will get back to form then a new guy will fit in and play better. But I dont know the locker room situation. Maybe a trade of a player would boost things, but no idea which player we would be okay with losing.
 
Ricky Rubio :cool: only if he's bought out
I know Jazz need help up front but if Rubio is available he could help vs high scoring 1s and 2s. On a good day can also be good with 3s.
He already knows the system and he's not going to close games with the current roster.

What could he help high scoring 1s and 2s for the other team with? Help them score more?
 
Alright, so if we’re the team with the best record in the league more than halfway through the season, but we’re not confident we’re a legit contender, then the question is, what do we have to lose with sacrificing future assets? If you’re at the basket, would you rather ensure you make the shot, or save some energy so that maybe you hit a half-court shot later on? If we’re this close, to hell with the future and go ahead and mortgage it.

It would be dependent on when the Memphis pick conveys, and these would have to be pushed out much farther into the future, but trade Favors and two first rounders for Larry Nance, Jr. Could include a Hughes or Udoka.

We may have to offload Favors in the future anyway by coupling assets. This just allows us to preemptively make that move now as part of parlaying it into a win-now move.

Do it. 4th year in a row is a charm with Cleveland.
 
I'm sure DL now must be wishing to have all those 2nd rounders back. We are desperately in need of some trade "sweeteners" that we can throw in for a Favors or Bogey trade.
