Jazz arent going to pay anything to unload Burks. If they really need to shed some salary, they can always stretch his salary.
There just aren't a lot of reasonable ways we get to have meaningful cap space next year without removing AB and Rubio from the books.
I think getting expiring contracts is the way to go... would leave us still in a good position to trade for a team moving a good player on a big contract.

I don't understand. In one post, you say it's a seller's market for teams with expiring contracts, but in this post, you're saying the Jazz - a team lacking high-end (tradable) assets - needs to get expirings for Burks and Rubio? Thus... you think the Jazz should lose assets in order to shed salary so the Jazz can throw max money at an already unathletic but gifted scorer who's suffered TWO ACL tears to the same knee and that will probably be matched? Or are you talking about one of the UFA players that won't be signing here?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding. But I think selling off the Jazz's expirings/Bird rights for assets is the better plan. Especially if those contracts coming back expire in 2019.
Ah. Gotcha.Sorry... I can see how you'd think that. I meant getting contracts that expire after next year. So take on 18-19 money and collect assets rather than giving assets to try and have space. I worded it poorly.
That's a real tank job. 9 straight losses, lost 11 of last 12.I didn't think the Jazz would end up tied with the Suns, honestly. Our potential to tank is real. The only thing that amazes me more right now is the Clippers.
Why would the Jazz want to do that?Anyway you think we could get Brogdon for Hood??

Because Bogdon is a proven starting caliber PG in this league?
We should also trade DM for Lin.
Are you serious?
Hood < DM
Brogdon > Lin
Even if we ended up 5-6 and a team at 3-4 liked someone available then making the jump to 3 is much more possible.Michael Porter is out for the season! We might have a chance to draft him even if we don't pick in the top 3. Now more than ever we need decisive decisions towards the tank! Please DL. Do it! No. 4 or 5 pick might be enough to get him.
