2020 NBA trade deadline discussion

Pretty sure we could get Aminu’s knee for Exum.

Dante is worth more than him... Aminu is deder than Ex right now.

I’d be down for Exum for Thaddeus Young.

He’d fix many of our defensive issues on the bench, and improving our scoring there and depth overall.

What do we need most?

An upgrade at the 4?
Upgrade at the backup 1?
Upgrade at the backup 5?

You mean the worst rim finisher at the rim this season? That Thaddeus Young?

The GLeague has a bunch of those fellers.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Jazz traded Exum and Davis for Bobby Portis. He was a Jazz target last offseason. He could play with Gobert in a big lineup, he could play the 5 when Gobert sits, he could be a pick and pop big for Conley.

It feels like the stars are aligning for this, honestly. Portis has not been good, New York is a disaster, and a writer there specifically suggested grabbing Dante.

Christian Wood may be but don't see how we get him. Detroit looks close to rebuilding so they may just give him more minutes.

Seems to have at least some access with the organization.

If we can flip Dante for any player with an expiring contract that’s a win... Portis is actually a solid backup big which is even better... they’d be stupid to do it... they are stupid so they might. We need like one great flash from Dante... just one please... might be enough.

The Knicks should be scouring the market for distressed assets. Young players that have failed to live up to expectations…

Too bad the jazz have stripped the team of any such assets, except for everyone's favorite Dante, who is overpaid, injury plagued, and low skilled.

When do we play NY? Get Dolan to fall in love with Exum the same way LHM fell in love with Amaechi.

Detroit ready to dump Drummond and/or Blake Griffin?

We need to start rumors that Dante is in to blues music and plays a mean (insert blues instrument here)… I mean in a backup role not a lead harmonica. Maybe that he has connections to a lot of IG models or something... I don't think Dolan cares about basketball as much as JD and the Straight Shots.

I just realized that Dante had probably the best game of his career against the Knicks last year.

I can't see the Jazz having the right package. Would do Conley for Griffin for sure.

I mostly like Portis because of his stretchability and ability to play the 4 or 5. How bad is he on defense though? The Wiz were terrible last year. The Knicks are terrible this year.

We're on the same page. Cy swears he is god awful but I can't really say. I guess I have irrational hopes for him since he's always played in completely dysfunctional environments and I think he's the type where he just turns up what's happening around him, including the suck.
