Trade deadline discussion

One year deal so he loses his bird rights in the trade... its a CBA deal where a player has to consent if they lose bird rights. He will get cut and maybe get a chance elsewhere... so he will approve.

What’s wrong with going after Leonard on the buy-out market. Great team guy, excellent character and attitude with length and range. Sounds perfect for us!

Well, off the court issues aside, isn’t out for the season with a shoulder injury?

Yeah... even after this year I don't think teams are eager to bring him in.

I’d bet this finishes it off for him. He’s not a bad player. But he’s not going to make a difference large enough for a franchise to take the stigma hit of bringing him on or having to explain why they’re bringing him on or have to reaffirm that “we’re not racist, we’re just signing this guy.” Nobody wants to do that. Nobody wants to be perceived that way. He’s coming off an injury and a year not playing. He could sign in China.

Unaware he had turned into Mel Gibson! Given our track record we probably don’t need more reason to hate us I suppose.

It really doesn’t matter. We’re already getting credit for it. The next time someone says or does something, there will be a Utah joke in there, regardless of who it is.

Well played Sir! We need to see if Reggie Miller is available for some motivational training!

PJ Tucker to the Bucks for stuff and weird draft stuff.

Phoenix snaked Torrey Craig in the deal. I like Craig but not sure how he plays in phoenix.

At first glance, it looks like a great haul for the Rockets. They swap their 2nd round this year (plus they gave Bucks back a 2nd rounder) for this year's Bucks 1st (unless 1-9, which it won't be) and unprotected 2023 1st round pick. That sounds like crazy value for PJ Tucker and Kurucs.
 
Tony Jones was suggesting that Harkless could be a target on his pod this morning, saying that Miami getting Ariza and having Iggy means there's no room for Moe. We have the trade exceptions to do it, and he'd be a perfect fit with what we need.
 
I seriously doubt the Jazz will do anything honestly. I think they will stick to their nine-deep rotation and press forward.

He stole that from me... damn... kidding.

I think Harkless is a better defender for the big wings than Oni but I trust Oni more as a shooter and would like to see what he brings. Harkless is a fine addition though if its a depth piece like Ersan.

I think that is the type of signing we can expect if we do anything.

My question is regarding Miami. They’re obviously looking to compete and they have no need to drop Harkless. Unless he’s wanting out, we don’t have anything to offer them that incentivizes a trade and, likewise, there wouldn’t be much incentive to buy him out.
