2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

Tony Jones has been adamant for a long time that the Jazz want to be players in 2019 free agency and believe they can be. Tony's typically very accurate in his coverage of the Jazz.

It seems pretty apparent DL thinksbhe can get something done.

We haven’t really tried in FA either because of lack of space or just preserving flexibility. We should at least get some meetings... I think there is a chance... not a good chance but not a complete moonshot.

Agreed. We may miss out on our top targets like Middleton or Harris but someone like Niko would likely be attainable.

Tony is always great about talking how aggressive we try to be then is also great about explaining why it was hard to get our targets when we strike out.

Favors and Rubio are a perfect match for Conley, and both are expiring. Could also put Casspi in, no problems. Doesn't this make sense for everyone?

I think expirings for Conley is fair given his injury concerns and age... they may not. Now if they can flip Rubio/Favs, in a three or four team deal, for some draft assets they might be inclined to do that.

I think they have to get salary flexibility and draft assets or young players to make a deal work on their end.

I'm iffy on Conley. I'd do a Conley deal 100 times before a kevin love deal doe.
 
This summer, there was all this talk about Paul George. Right when free agency opened, we were at Favors' door.

Tobias Harris is a top 3-5 free agent this summer. We have to trade for him to have a real chance.

Trade for a unrestricted FA right when he is about to be a top 3-5 FA this Summer? That wouldn't make much sense. Especially cause we have cap space...

We have to pull a Paul George type deal and show him he should stay. To get Tobias, we have to lose Favors anyway. If we sacrifice a 1st, it should be a late 1st and worth the gamble.

I think the Conley suitors are:

- orlando
- Detroit
- San Antonio
- New Orleans
- Indiana
- Maybe Minny or Phoenix

really ?? Conley's injury history is as bad as Love's no ? And at his age a PG will fall off a cliff pretty quickly

Would we have bird rights?

This season matters to me too though.
If we can give up favors and a pick them I think we should do it. Would make us better this year imo, we would likely be losing favors anyway if we were to chase Tobias in the summer, and maybe Tobias loves it here and chooses us like Paul George did in okc

Yes, but his contract is shorter (by 2 years) and he is a good two way player... so if he's healthy he can play against any top playoff team.
 
I don't think a trade is necessary.... Paul George was a multiple-time all-star and true superstar... Harris isn't on that level yet, he's not going to tell LA he's walking no matter what. I don't think he's a surefire max player, and I bet he'll value stability/other star players around him. Plus its at least been rumored that he'd be interested.
