What's new

Would you trade ...

And it's not even close. That murders the Jazz's ability to play the market.

I agree, but what market are we actually going to play in? More than likely, we will pay to bring back Hood and Exum this summer. With Rubio and Burks having a year left at over $25 million combined, we won't have the cap room necessary to add anybody in 2018. So that brings us to summer 2019 when a ton of teams will have cap space.

I think our best bet of adding another substantial piece is via trade or the draft. But of course Deng and a 2020 first are neither....
 
Another day, another idea:
http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=yddlszfr
Cavs get Favors
Blazers get a 2nd rounder from us
Jazz get Frye (expiring dump), Ed Davis (expiring dump), Cedi Osman (player with potential), Portland's 2018 1st (lottery protected), Cleveland's 2018 1st

Why for Cavs - they get a good option for center. Love can rotate back to PF. Their first will be low and they don't have time to develop Osman. There are already rumors that the Cavs might send the Brooklyn pick for D'Andre Jordan. This is a much, much smarter trade for the short and long term.

Why for Portland - they are $3 million over the luxury right now. If they don't avoid the luxury, they will be massive tax payers. Losing a non-lottery pick is worth it for them to avoid the tax.

Why for us - Favors is gone anyway. But being clever enough to pick up 2 1st rounders and a player with potential in Osman is a win for us. We would have 3 first rounders to play with come draft time.

Crowder, Love, or bust.

The only pick is trade Favors for is Denver’s.
 
Channing Fry would actually be pretty good for the rest of the year, though. Maybe I do it. Find a way to throw Rubio in.

4 team trades are extremely difficult and highly unlikely. However, here we go...
http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y8q5zbpa
Cavs get Favors
Blazers get a 2nd rounder from Utah and from Phoenix
Suns get Rubio and Noah Vonleh
Jazz get Monroe (expiring), Frye (expiring), Calderon (expiring PG), Osman, Cleveland's 2018 1st rounder

Cavs get their big for Osman and a 1st.
Blazers get out from underneath the tax and keep their 1st.
Suns get Rubio and Vonleh for expiring Monroe
Jazz get out from Rubio, a better fit expiring PG, promising Osman and a late first rounder.
 
Here is an idea:

Wiz get Rubio
We get Oubre, Mahinmi, Sheldon Mac (nonguaranteed) and the Wiz 2018 1st

Why for Wiz - they are $5.8 over the luxury tax and are projected to be well over next year too. This trade allows them to avoid repeater tax hell. Mahinmi is one of the worst NBA contracts. Oubre is promising, but the Wiz cant afford to keep him. And lastly, Rubio might fare well in their faster tempo team.

Why for us - Rubio isnt working. Oubre could be really good. We aren't going to be able to do much with cap space anyway. The first is another asset.

Reggie Jackson is out for 6-8 weeks. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...ggie-jackson-ankle-sprain-evaluated-6-8-weeks
Should we offer them Rubio?

How about this: http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y88l9agv
Rubio for Kennard, Marjanovic, Moreland (nonguaranteed contract), and some other minor asset (maybe the chance to switch firsts sometime between now and 2020)?

Kennard is a promising young shooter but Rubio keeps their play off hopes alive.
