Is Anything Going to Happen Tomorrow?

Does a Trade Involving Mirotic Happen Tomorrow for the Jazz?

I’m very doubtful at this point. After listening to the guy who is in the Bulls market on 1280 last week it sure didn’t sound like anything was close to happening. It sounded even less like they wanted Favors. I don’t think the Mirotic thing isn’t as close to happening as being reported.
 
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

I say that the chances of this happening are 725 to 1. Actually I been known to make mistakes... from time to time...
 
No, but maybe later. Jazz aren't going to give up a first, so I imagine the Bulls will wait it out to see if they get the offer they want from somewhere.
 
The following two deals go down:

TRADE 1
Cavs get Favors and Mbah a Moute
Rockets get Shumpert
Jazz get Osman, Frye, Black, Williams, Onuaku, Qi, and Cleveland's 2018 1st

Cavs do it to improve their roster with Favors and Mbah a Moute, shed Shumpert and save a ton of luxury tax $.
Rockets wanted Shumpert in the summer and he'd solidify their playoff roster.
Jazz get Osman, Onuaku, a 1st and bunch of expiring or nonguaranteed contracts.

TRADE 2
Bulls get JoeJ and Cleveland's 2018 1st
Jazz get Mirotic

Bulls waive JoeJ who goes to a contender and get their required first rounder.
Jazz get Mirotic.

Overall, we add Mirotic and Osman without going into the luxury, taking back any ugly contracts or using any draft picks.


Extremely pie in the sky, but it makes sense according to all this chatter.... http://www.basketballinsiders.com/nba-daily-trade-chatter-from-the-g-league-showcase/
 
All kinds of things are going to happen tomorrow - innumerable - but a trade for Mirotic is not one of them.
 
If the Jazz have reasonable interest in getting him, I expect them to try to keep a poker face a bit. Trading on the day it opens gives up leverage. From my perspective, however, I’d rather just secure the guy. People bring this up a lot during the draft — talking about trading down to possibly take your guy. People say that you shouldn’t play that game and just take your guy with your pick rather than gamble. I feel the same about this.

Does anyone not think this would very soon become the best franchise (non-draft pick) trade since Hornacek, and quite possibly exceeding it? People talk about getting a ‘big 3’ and I think this gives us a solid ‘big 2.5.’
 
But in all reality, bogus hypothetical trades aside, I don't think we get Mirotic. Thabo's injury was a big punch to the gut. Favors has checked out. Burks has fazed himself out. Hood is on the verge of an emotional meltdown. Mitchell is gassed. Neto still has a headache.
 
Mirotic for Favors - not if the Bulls want a 1st. But will there be a trade... definitely. I would be surprised if Burks isn't moved and Favors to another team is a possibility.
 
tmr is just first day he can be traded... no deadline until Feb. no reason for chicago to move him asap, they're gonna hold and wait for offers to increase

Possible, but Bulls want to get him out of the rotation and the Jazz probably want to start winning asap.
 
Like, if the Bulls are really set on getting a first round pick, they will probably wait til the end, but they will probably be disappointed.

I think it will probably be somewhere in between. They could try to hold out for more, but the more they hold out the more it screws up the tank.
