2019 trade deadline discussion

sgjazzfan said:
I'm all in on trying to get Tobias Harris at the Deadline. A trio of Harris/Favors/Gobert at the 4/5 would be awesome. He is the best player available from a team I see likely on the outside of the playoffs at the deadline. If they don't like their chances of resigning him, a first and expiring contracts may get it done. Getting him at the deadline allows the Jazz to see what they have with him/Favors/Gobert before next season, and resign him going over the cap being able to keep Rubio and Favors for 2019.

Of the FA in 2019, Jimmy Butler is my favorite. He would be an amazing fit for the Jazz. Great defender. Great scorer and shooter. Can guard 3-4 positions. May not be as great of a fit as Paul George because you aren't likely to play Butler at PF, but he would be able to fit in as a starter at SF no question alongside DM, Rubio and the rest of the gang. I don't know if he'd even consider the Jazz, but I don't feel like he's talked about enough with the 2019 class that is coming up. I'd personally take him over Thompson.

i'd hardly call Butler a great shooter
 
I see Rubio going down as one of the all time Jazz greats. Somehow he brings the magic to Utah.

Only concern with him is injury.

Or if he leaves next season

I think the solution for guys like Favors and Rubio is to stay long term. And the way they become club legends is to take Manu Ginobli or Tony Parker type deals. Both of those guys took less than market value to stay and compete for titles. If Rubio were to sign some long term declining, reasonable contract extension, I could see him here the next 6-8 years. After this current deal, if Favors were to sign some long term deal making less than $10 a year, that would be perfect.

Rubio and Favors are probably not starters on a champion, but they would be elite 6th, 7th or 8th men for a champion. I hope our plan and their plan is to stick around long term on team friendly deals.

Exum got 11 mill a year. What do you think Rubio would want? He's going to get 20 mill somewhere imo

Ricky had finally landed with a coach who believes in him and has encouraged him to play to his full potential. He ain’t going nowhere

I hate agreeing with such an arsehole but yeah I reckon he stays for Jingles type money. Looks to play out the rest of his career with the Jazz, maybe a late cameo for Barca in his mid 30's
 
Who in the world is going to pay Rubio 20 million a year? I'd bet most of the NBA still sees him as an average starting PG, and there's not really a lot of teams who don't have point guards right now.

Could be something...?

Maybe for a free agency 2019 thread but I don't got the balls to start one.

thats the most they could offer... its a nothing-burger. He will more likely than not exceed that next year.

This... plus if Exum blows up then you have Ricky on an extension that is kinda iffy if he can't shoot or gets hurt. Unless he is willing to take a significant discount we shouldn't extend him. We can waive his caphold and tell him to be patient while we do other stuff... if he leaves... then he leaves.

Depends what he shoots from 3 next year. If he shoots like he did post all-star plenty of teams will want to pay him that much. If he shoots what he did before all-star break the last 2 years then he will probably worth 10 million. His passing and defense are pretty solid.
