Die ****
I'm genuinely curious to see what the filtered word was.
Die ****
The tl;drWhat do you guys think of this article? https://thejnotes.com/2017/12/28/utah-jazz-possible-moves-trade-deadline/
In my opinion -
Toronto wouldn't do #1
Utah shouldn't do #2
I would do #3 but find a way to get it creative enough to get Osman back
#4 is interesting
The tl;dr
#1: JJ & 2nd for Delon Wright.
#2: Favors for Dellavadova and a 2nd (what a stupid move).
#3: Favors to Cleveland for a pick swap with the Nets pick (why would Cleveland do this — not to mention how when we don’t take salary back).
#4: Burks to NO for a second round pick.
PHO appears to have the cap sace to acquire 2 of Rubo/Favors/Burks while sending Monroe's expiring in return. Could anyone see them being interested enough to part with a decent asset(s)? Is Rubio/Burks for Monroe/protected 1st realistic?
Favors to MIL/CLE seems like a logical fit & I imagine he holds a reasonable amount of value to them. Maybe Osman from CLE or a protected 1st from MIL?
(I don't know what type of upgrade DET may be exploring but I hope we atleast check on the availability of Kennard, who seems to currently be the odd-man out)
I also imagine Jerebko/JJ/Udoh/Seflosha all have some value as well to contending teams in need of depth.
We need to flip as many of them as possible, while retaining as little salary as possible, & allow our lack of depth to improve our draft position while (hopefully) acquiring additional future assets simultaneously.
It's imperative for this team to think 'long-term", especially considering that we're unlikely to be in a similar situation in the near future due to Mitchell's rapid development & (hopefully) a healthy Gobert. This trade deadline should be focused around flipping non-core members, shedding salary, & finishing with as high of a draft pick as possible. Freeing up money to pursuit Parker should be a priority as well.
To swing off HH in an earlier post: if the Bucks are letting go of Parker, everyone else should be worried as they likely know something everyone else doesn't.Teletovic and Wilson for Favors is the type of aggressive move we should be looking for. And a great cap cutting move for the Bucks to keep Parker.
I just wish we knew more about the Parker situation. If he is in the long term Bucks plans, then we should target Wilson. If the Bucks might let Parker go, I would hate for us to spend 2018 space (Favors and JoeJ expirings) on a deal before the deadline.
So Teletovic and Wilson for Favors if Parker is staying
OR
Burks and Favors to Phoenix for Monroe if Parker might be available for a big contract

Without Rubio, Favors, JoeJ and Burks, we could give Parker a max.

If the Jazz got the 2nd overall pick in the draft (so no Doncic left) would you trade the pick+Hood+Exum for Aaron Gordon?
Would the Magic do that?
I think I would do it 100%. It'd be nice to take advantage of Mitchell being super cheap for the next 3 years by having two studs like Gobert/Gordon maxed out next to him. The Jazz might be legitimate contenders if they got Gordon. Gordon is essentially the perfect fit at PF next to Gobert.It depen
It depends on whether Porter, Bagley or Young blew us away in workouts and interviews and whether we'd prefer to control a young player for 7 years and maintain more cap flexibility over the next three years rather than max out AG. It would be a close debate.
