Trade Gordo + Trey for the #3?

Can't we trade gordon for picks and players? Why only picks?
Maybe Boston loves hayward enough to give us third pick and isiah thomas or something. Maybe we throw in trey burke and a future pick.

I know you weren't quoting me, but I wanted to respond to this.

If I had the third pick, I'd take Murray. I see him as BPA there. Why would I want Thomas in the mix if I already had Exum to develop as well?

Given his contract and our situation, trading Hayward probably isn't a bad idea, I just think the FO is in love with him, maybe to a fault (especially if he leaves).

The third pick, and Boston's offerings just don't entice me enough, though.

I only move hayward if we can get a star... not interested in more pieces. They likely wouldn't move IT because they'd try to keep win now type pieces. I don't love IT either... think he would be best as a super sixth man, but probably a little too good for that role. I think guys like him limit your team's ceiling because they control the ball so much. I am one who thinks we are likely to keep Hayward so I'm not as worried about losing him for nothing.

I don't see anyone past two that has a good chance of being a star. Bender? Murray? IDK. I do think the Lakers will look to move the pick for the type of stuff we have, but that it would likely be something like Hood and Favors. Seems like an overpay to many of us, but may be the only way we get a top 10 player.
 
I worry about him playing a full season. I don't care how good you are, if you can only play half the games then you're hurting your team more than helping.

Exum can play more than one position. One player rarely averages 48 minutes per game at a position. If exum isn't ready to go or simply isn't very good then you still have a good starting caliber pg on the team.

I think that since exum was so reluctant to try to score and seems like a good and willing passer and Thomas is a scorer first and foremost, I think they might look really good together.

If not, then hopefully the jazz would be able to trade the worse of the two of them for something good if need be.

Exum hasn't shown he can even play ONE position. He hasn't shown he can penetrate regularly. He certainly hasn't shown he can shoot.

Exactly. Like I said in my post, Thomas would be a good insurance plan in case exum never gets good at those things
 
After reading part way through this thread, all I can say is keep your grimy ****ing paws off my Jazz. All of you. Thanks.
 
I'd even trade Gordo and Exum for the #3 and Thomas. In a heart beat. This team is honestly not that great at all. We ALL have been saying well one more year....maybe this year.....oh wait, maybe this next year. Our "star" players are maybe third options AT BEST. I mean, the blazers can lose 4 of their 5 starters and still make it to the second round of the playoffs when EVERYONE thought they'd be in the lottery this year. Our team can't even beat a Lillard run (No one knew CJ would turn out so good) Blazer's team that had a bunch of bench players..... (Oh, wait. Here comes all the jazzfanz "BUT WE WEREN'T HEALTHY") Times up and it's time to shake things up.

blah blah blah blah same old trash
 
People realize the #3 isn't much better this year than the #12, right? Like at all. This is such an easy no, it's absurd.
 
Will Buddy be better than Gordon? No. If it ain't Simmons, or Ingram, I don't want it. Even Ingram would be hard to trade Hayward for.

Would buddy, isiah thomas, jae crowder be better than hayward burke and #12 pick, is the question that should be asked.
I don't know but definitely possible.
(If we are talking about trading Hayward, #12, burke for #3, Thomas, crowder. Which is what I thought was a proposed trade)

I definitely don't trade Hayward and burke for #3. Unless of course you are quite certain he will leave after next year no matter what.
