Zach Lowe: Paul George would love to play with Gordon Hayward

If a one year rental convinced Hayward to stay it'd be worth giving up the assets. If George comes and we are killing it it will make it tough for George to bail. Lakers may suck still and may have to use the assets they have just to dump mozgov and deng.
 
David Aldridge: Pacers asking teams for ideas on potential PG trades, per sources, as they have for a while. Ideally: 2 firsts+starter. Teams obv skittish. Process will likely accelerate going into Draft, but no certainty anything will get done by then

This sounds very doable for the Jazz. We can offer either Hood or Favors and a first this year and a first next year. Those assets dont really hurt to give up. Favors and/or Hood are not going to be with us past their contracts so we will trade one or both of them anyways or worse case let them walk for nothing.
 
Dennis Lindsey's time to shine.

I see both K.Love and PG13 as get-able targets.

With PG13 being reluctant in the past to play the 4, would it be wiser and a better fit to go after K.Love?

No, PG is the much better play.

I do believe Love would be a better fit and has a longer contract. We would own the glass. I'd assume Hood would go in a deal with him. If you landed Love then I think Danny Green would be the prototypical 2 in that starting lineup (not sure how you land that) but having Gobert and three real perimeter shooters.

I think the biggest hesitation I'd have about PG is that he duplicates what Hayward gives you and you may not get as much mileage out of it. I guess it's good to have more offensive options and take some of the defense away from Hayward. I do like the idea of Love though. Best front court in the league.

Agree. With Hayward we aren't missing a PG13 type, we are missing a stretch 4 that can get boards. K.Love can do this and more. Maybe a 3 way deal were we help Cavs with the assets needed to trade for PG13.

Favors to Indiana
Hood to Indiana
Lyles to Cleveland
Pick to Indiana
PG to Cleveland
Love to Utah
 
Pg would play stretch 4 sometimes. We have JJ to do that as well. We'd be a curry or Durant injury away from a championship. Give luck a chance. We need to keep PG away from Boston for sure.

Even if it was only one year. None of the assets we are giving up get us within an injury of competing for a title. In the new CBA with shorter contracts that is basically all you can ask for unless you go full process and stack a ton of top end prospects.
 
I'd rather have PG than Love but I think our management would opt for Love since he has more years on his deal.
 
I think pg13 fits the jazz identity vs love.

I do admit we need a4 tho. I think pg is more help vs gs as well.

Regardless if DL could get either here that would be absolutely incredible.

Here's a great trade from our perspective. You'd have to have some picks going different ways.

Cleveland does it. Indiana would need a pick from us. I think Cleveland could send them some kind compensation. San Antonio only does this if they are sure they're getting CP3, but I do not believe they deal Green until after July 1. Anyway, I'd send some kind of compensation to San Antonio.

Hill / Exum
Green / Ingles
Hayward / Johnson
Love / Bolomboy
Gobert / Bogut

Love/Bolomboy/Gobert/Bogut would be the strongest rebounding big man combination that I could ever recall.
