This is a big night. The Jazz have a chance to pull ahead of the Lakers in the tank race. Meanwhile the Kings and Cavs play one another, and the rules state that one of those teams has to win.

People, it's over! There is no point to this anymore. We will probably finish top ten because we are genuinely bad. But we will not finish lower than any team that is actually tanking.

I'll only declare this once the trade deadline is passed and Marv & Jefferson are still with us.

Shaping up as at least top-8, which is what I was hoping for pre-season. I knew the Jazz were not going to be as bad as the true tankers. And as much as we say "trade Williams," "trade Jefferson" there simply aren't many deals that make sense for both teams. Trading a bench player who is making an all-star caliber salary is not easy. If DL manages to make any kind of trade, I'll be geniunely shocked.

In short, we'll have this same team until the bitter end. We're on pace to certainly finish behind Milwaukee and Philadelphia. Orlando has surprisingly won a few, but has 4 more losses than Utah. I guess we're in that group with Cleveland, Boston, Sacramento and the Lakers, with NY still in the danger zone. I haven't given up hope yet, but I think 6-8 is the most likely landing spot. Assume Embiid, Wiggins, Parker and Exum go 1-4 in some order. That leaves Utah choosing from the next tier down.

Let's hope for small injuries!

Also what about a Ben Gordon trade for Williams or something.
 
Gordon is making $13M so Williams + Rush certainly fits. So does a deal for Prince or with Phoenix for Okafor. There are a few others that also work financially but are implausible (like Jefferson/Rush for Boozer). I detailed all players teams might be willing to deal (that are making >$3M) in a separate thread. Not included were blockbuster deals that might include any of our core5.

What it comes down to is "it takes two to tango." We're assuming teams actually value MW and RJ more than any other comparable player they might be able to get for half the salary.

Certainly your idea of trading for Gordon is solid, as is infection's of trading for Prince. In Charlotte's case, though, MW's play suffered when he was starting next to Al last season. Would Charlotte even want to consider that deal?
