Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

[zyzz]

Bucks may have just lost Brogdon the day before Jabari comes back.

If we're dealing with Philly, I'd gladly throw in a 2nd-round pick or a bit player for Pasecniks.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

LOL .. there's absolutely nobody I want from their team. Sans Drummond, Jackson and Blake they're all scrubs.

Wouldn't say that's true. I like most of Detroit's player to some level. They just have no PG or playmakers on the perimeter.

 

[Bodhi]

I reaaallly like Bolden from Philly.

"At some level"??

Haha... I like Kennard 'at some level', that level is 10%. I like Stanley Johnson at 'some level, that level is 20%.

likewise. Saw him play a bit as a junior. Definite potential, good athlete

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I honestly dont know how I feel about Stanley Johnson.

He really lacks confidence in his offensive game. His shot doesnt look terrible, but he hesitates a lot, especially after misses.

He also just doesnt have the explosion I think people thought he had coming into the NBA so his attacking isnt all that great. A lot of below the rim finishes that he doesnt have great touch on. I do like his speed/lateral quickness though.

Overall he feels like he'd be better as a 4, but I dont know if he plays big enough defensively to do so.

 

[Douchebag K]

funny how the two that a lot of people drooled over in that draft, Johnson and Winslow have just struggled so badly

Johnson reminds me of a more hyped of version of that Singleton guy from Hayward's draft I think.

Also, I'd take Winslow over Johnson, still think there's something there. Not as optimistic about Stanley.

I think he's a center because he fits a team better in a Sam Perkins type role than trying to be some all purpose PF. On offense, he is a PF when Tristan is in the game. On defense, he is a center. This is like the whole Tim Duncan argument. Both offensively and defensively, he played like a center. He almost always guarded the other team's slowest and biggest guy.

If you put Love next to a guy like Draymond Green, Porzingis, Iggy, Millsap, Harrison Barnes, and others, he would be an incredible center. He's better as a center in today's NBA, especially the playoffs, than he is at PF. Look at him next to a noshoot "center" in TT, and you'll see his numbers were nonexistent when the Cavs won the finals 2 years ago. He struggled again last year.

As for the #1 option, yes, he was in Minnesota. And the team sucked really badly while he put up great stats. He is better as a 3rd option if you want your team to win. Kyrie (when he was with the Cavs) and now that he's gone has proven that. Love doesn't lead to wins.

Philadelphia
Phoenix
Atlanta
Dallas
Lakers
Bulls
Kings

Indi?

And he's a really good Euroleague player now who could probably make the jump back into the NBA as a stretch 4.

Singleton? That's good to hear.

If we added Fournier ($17) and Gordon (expecting Gordon to get a max which is $27 million first year WOW)

2018 salaries:
Gobert $23
Ingles $13
Mitchell $3.1
Bradley $1.7
O'Neale $1.4
Exum $10 (let's just say that's what he gets)
TOTAL: $57 million
Four&Gor: $44
New TOTAL (8 players): $101

Rubio ($14.5) - we could try to trade if we value Exum more
Burks ($11.5) - we would pray to trade
We are over the luxury at around $126+
Thabo ($5.3) - probably let go
Udoh ($3.4) - we would keep if we could dump Burks
Jerekbo ($4.2) - probably let go

If we did a trade getting Fournier and signing Gordon to a max deal, wow our finances are tough. Jerekbo and Thabo are casualties for sure. Maybe Udoh too. Burks would have to be dumped to avoid the tax. The most simple thing to do would be to trade Rubio for an expiring. And did you see, Hood isn't even on here.

Gordon is not worth the Max and I was a huge fan before the draft. I wanted the Jazz to draft him but giving a guy $27 million who shoots like him is not smart business.

Agree. A team may go all in but Id be uncomfortable with anymore than 4yrs/$68Mil.

Whats another 1st worst? Apparently NYN have put their 2018 1st out there to move Noah...

Burks + JJ for Noah and NYs 2018 1st?

Couldn't we just buy out Noah before next years FAcy?

As far as I know, he's fully guaranteed, and owed ~$19 million per season after this one.

In other words, if you think a draft pick is worth $37+ million in addition to whatever cap ramifications, then, I mean... I hope you're getting Donovan Mitchell 2.

The closest possible avenue I can see a deal happening for the Jazz is sending Rubio and Burks for Noah and the pick in order to free up $7-$8 million in cap for the 2018 offseason. But then they'd have to also renounce rights, cut, or trade Exum, Udoh, Jerebko, Thabo, and probably Hood and Neto in order to have substantial cap space. So in that case, they'd better have a damn clue what they're doing.

In short, nothing is happening.

Stretching Noah, especially BEFORE FA would take up $7-$8 million for FIVE years.

Literally would only consider taking that deal if it were for Porzingis.

If you strike out on that pick, could you imagine having Noah on that last year? Swallowing his contract is worth a lot more than that, but perhaps not in today’s hyperinflation of draft pick value perception.

Fair enough. For some reason I thought his contract finished 2018/19... That contract really is hideous!

Yeah, probably the worst in the league. If it was a 2019 expiring, get on the damn phone yesterday.
