Would you trade ...

[LoPo]

I also would love to trade favors to Milwaukee for Malcom Brogdon

I'm starting to think more and more that this is our best trade target outside of draft picks. Teletovic seems to play a lot like Mitrovic but older and not quite as good. He was hitting 47% of his threes on 4.5 attempts a game this season prior to getting some work done on his knee.

Favors for Brogdon, Teletovic and a 2nd seems like a pretty fair deal.

 

[Coach Ellis]

I’d love to bring Mirotic to Utah. Think he’d be an excellent addition next to Gobert. Not really interested in Brogdon though. Just don’t see a ton of upside with him. If the Jazz are going to trade Favors, I’d hope they can get a better asset back than Brogdon.

... Favors, Hood, Jerebko for Jabari Parker & John Henson?

Would the Bucks?

(Joe Johnson & Teletovic could also be easily thrown in).

Maybe this is a stupid idea and there'd certainly be some high-stakes gambling going on here with all the FAs & injury histories involved. But here's my reasoning:

For Jazz: get rid of positional overlap (Favors/Gobert); get a true 2nd scorer.
For Bucks: get rid of positional overlap (Giannis & Jabari both best as playmaking 4); perhaps create a more rounded lineup that complements Giannis/Bledsoe/Middleton; a bit more financial flexibility

I would do almost anything to trade Favors. The only Favors he ever did for us were the embarrassing kind. The kind you keep hidden from friends and families until you and your 132 cousins decide to come forward all at the same time, kind of Favors.
The only thing I wouldn't do is trade him and hood away for a guy that every time he falls on his ***, his hole splits up his backside. Oh, and pay him all star money to be the coolest "what if" sitting on the bench of Utah. I could see the free agents flocking to SLC now, just to be apart of that group. We're running a basketball team not a "rehab your lady parts" center. Get out of my face. Your breath stinks worse than your ideas.

Good read about the NBA bottom dwellers and their trade opportunities.

Key points - Mavs probably make a deal

Griz probably make a minor move with an expiring.

Lakers would find it easier to dump at deadline than in summer.

Magic might dump Vucevic or Fournier but cant dump Biyombo.

Hawks probably stay put.

Is there any current bottom 7 team that would consider trading their first rounder. Forget the cost at this point - would any team make their pick available?

wouldn't imagine any of the bottom dwellars wanting to give up their draft pick this year

I don't think any team wants to give up a high draft pick, but do we think any of them would be willing to give it up for the right price?

Does a package of Hood, Favors, taking back a bad contract and one of our future lottery protected picks move the needle?

A player I'm starting to keep tabs on is Mario Hezonja. He is an unrestricted free agent this summer because Orlando didn't pick up his option. He is a guy who can play SG or SF. As a Euro, he probably wouldn't mind coming to Utah. I think we should target him as we get close to the deadline.

I actually don’t mind the idea of adding Hezonja, but at what cost? What would you pay to acquire him? I think his most likely role in a trade is for salary matching purposes on some other deal.

He is an unrestricted free agent this summer. However, I think we would be wise to add him before the deadline so we can see how he fits, etc. And I think Orlando has showcased him some recently so they can get something from a trade.

So how do we get him? If Orlando is successful in trading Vucevic for an asset like rumors suggest, they have a need for a center. Maybe we could do Udoh and our 2nd for Hezonja.

Good article from Woj: http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/pag...ines-potential-deals-watch-adrian-wojnarowski

It even mentions that some teams are interested in Burks.

The most aggressive teams searching SG/SF talent are "Detroit, New Orleans, New York and Portland."
