At what point is Hood not better than a 1st round pick? I don't know what was and what wasn't a possibility. But Tony Jones is a pretty straight shooter with this stuff and doesn't make things up. He only reports when he gets a solid source and he's saying it's been verified Chicago is...

If Hood & our 2nd round pick would've been enough to get Mirotic and we didn't do it--that would make me very disappointed.

Right now, if I had to bet on it, I don't think the Jazz trade Favors. Especially with what happened last night. I think they really want to find out what they have with this core when healthy.

Everything I was reading was saying that's who the Jazz wanted and I thought they were going to get him, then I remember shortly before the draft reading that Orlando was going to take Aaron Gordon and I was extremely disappointed at the time.

Speaking of Aaron Gordon, just a reminder for those who are against tanking when we aren't going to the make the playoffs anways..one spot means the difference between Aaron Gordon and Dante Exum.

I know the Jazz could've done something, which I think they have to do. Either go all in on tanking, or make a move to get better. Standing pat and being idle with the status quo and is how you ensure mediocrity and a 218-241 record as the Jazz GM.

I'm all 100% for tanking. But the Jazz won't make a conscious effort to do that either. They're gunning that 8 spot.

No one is arguing to actually give up the draft pick. People are arguing to actually making a trade with Favors and Hood.

This isn't a good trade for the Bulls. Asik is not good and he has a horrible contract. I'm confident something could've been drawn up. The Jazz just seem to be very reluctant to actually part ways with Hood or Favors when it comes down to it. This offseason i'm sure they're going to lose at...

You're right. I'm way off base here. I'll go back to just blindly trusting and praising the man whose Jazz record is 218-241 over the 6 seasons he's been here.

In this scenario, maybe. I agree completely with not giving up the 1st round pick. I think there were other ways to get Mirotic and get Chicago their first round pick using 3 team trades. But anyhow, it's more just a general comments. Jazz have a track record of this.

Oh I'm sorry. I guess I should be happy that we've made the playoffs once in 6 years that Dennis Lindsay has been GM.

Here goes Dennis Lindsay, standing pat and being reactive instead of proactive again...

I think the Clips are so desperate to dump Gallo's contract that you could do a lot better deal than that, and would need to be compensated more than that to bring him on.

Regarding all this talk of Kennard, I don't think there's any chance Detroit gives him up in a deal for Hood. He's shown some flashes of great basketball and I think they're really excited about him. You can guarantee the Clippers tried to get him too, but they weren't moving him in the Blake...

What are the odds the Jazz actually just stand pat and don't do anything? I say pretty good, unfortunately. Massive blunder if that happens too.

Sure Avery Bradley isn't having a good year, but he did last year and may be a nice fit alongside Mitchell. I think the Jazz would have to look long and hard at any deal involving Avery Bradley and Stanley Johnson. Edit* Nevermind this isn't happening. I forgot about his sexual assault deal...

So here's a list of trade ideas I've thrown together that all work via salary. A lot of these deals are structured in a way that make sense because of expiring contracts, teams trying to dump salary, etc. So the contract details are important. Jazz receive: Otto Porter, Marcin Gortat, Tim...

Yeah, I like that better too because of the expiring contracts. I personally think that deal could make some real sense for both sides.

Given all this Wizards talk, it seems there's some obvious discontent going on there. Who says no to this trade? One caveat that I think helps for Washington is they like Kelly Oubre. This would also allow more of an opportunity for him. Wizards Receive: Derrick Favors, Rodney Hood, Joe...
