OK i hope I am not cursing the Jazz further and I have sacrificed soem virgins to the basketball gods but....

What IF Favors just can get back to full health this season and his injuries are nagging around the trade deadline. What would you give up to bring Ibaka in for the yest of the year?

- Orlando is looking at losing him for nothing.
- Honestly in my opinion he doesn't look like he wants to be there
- He is more of a stretch 4 then Favors
- You dont want to over pay just to have him leave next summer
- He has playoff exp


I was thinking a package of 2nd rounders. IF Favors looks like he won't play I would be willing to give up 1 first maybe GSW pick
 
Nothing.

Orlando just gave up a pretty penny to trade for him. They aren't dumping him for scraps after 1 month.
 
Ibaka is a MLB style trade piece if anything for the Magic. For MLB purposes, this kind of deal requires an almost ready major league prospect, a high potential prospect, and some lower possible assets.

So to translate that, it would likely take Lyles, Exum, and the GSW first rounder.

To get Ibaka? The dude is a meh player. This isnt 2013. That being said I have no idea what the Magic FO thinks of anything because they are clearly inept if they gave Jeff Green any money.

You don't think 10 playoff competing teams won't inquire on Ibaka's availability? Will drive price right up. Though I understand that in the NBA, there is the added value element of salary that doesn't exist in MLB.

Basically, the Jazz likely aren't trading for Ibaka.

He'd be interesting on the Raptors.

Isn't this Ibakas last year under contract?

Going after Ibaka makes a lot of sense if Derrick is hurt.

Or Gordon. Whoever Orlando wants to kick to the curb

I would love to get ibaka for this season. Could give us just what we need in the playoffs to really make some noise.

I give up a first rounder for him and give up a scrub.

Rotation of
Hill, mack/X
Hood, Burks
Hayward, JJ
Favors, ibaka, Lyles
Gobert, favors, ibaka.

Hell of a playoff rotation.
 
hmmm

I kinda like the idea of renting Ibaka(if the price is right). If Orlando is cerrtain they will lose him there is a chance that we could pick him up for next to nothing. Look what DL got out of Kanter. It would be quite the luxury.

Diaw + a crappy pick. Is anyone going to offer better than that in feb to rent him? Will anybody else who wants to rent him even be able to make room/trade someone with a high enough salary? Houston perhaps?

So Orlando gives up Oladipo/Sabonis for Ibaka to trade them to us for something that is acceptable to JFC for a half year rental? Fat chance.

Probably right. A jazzfanz can dream though.

I just dont like the idea at all. You know how pissed Ibaka would be to come here as a backup in his contract year? I just couldn't see that being a good chemistry mix. Ibaka is a bad player when he isnt motivated.

Jazz should be setting sights much lower. There really is no reason to do any trades though. We have everything we need, the only position I really consider upgrading would be backup PG. If we could get a shooter at the PG spot, someone like Jameer Nelson, that would be great.

If the jazz are as good as I think they are when healthy then maybe he would be fine with 25 minutes per night on a team that can go deep in the playoffs rather than a team that isn't very good like orlando.

Anywho, a jazzfan can dream that we get him for cheap and he fits in and accepts his role and gives max effort (hoping to get a good contract in the summer). Unlikely, but would kick ***.

Ehh, if we going to dream something that unlikely why not dream we trade for Lebron?

Or at least someone who isnt set to be a FA the following year.

You think the whole ibaka thing is much more of an impossibility than I do if you compare aquiring him to aquiring lebron.
