What's new

Jazz should go after Porzingis.

Just my $0.02 but if NY is actually considering moving KP, he immediately passes Lillard, Paul George, and Jimmy Butler on my official wish list.

Him playing alongside Gobert would wreak pure havoc on the NBA. Not only that, gig could max out Hayward and pay George Hill a decent salary for a couple years while KP is still on his rookie deal.

PG-Hill
SG-Some Scrub
SF-Hayward
PF-Porzingis
C-Gobert

I seriously feel like that lineup is immediately the 2nd best team in the NBA and could take the Warriors 7 games.
 
You can't buy a Ferrari on a Nissan Sentra budget. Love the idea, but Gobert is your only tradeable asset.

This team has no choice but to hit on our draft picks.
 
I like Gallinari, but he's a poor man's Hayward. I don't see how they play togethor.

Why man? Hayward is more of a shooting guard, Galli is 6'10 and more of a power forward than Hayward. It would be heavenly.
 
Ehh, it aint happening. Portland should call the Knicks.

Lillard and 3 first rounders this year for Porzingis.
 
Isiah Thomas
Avery Bradley
Gordon Hayward
Kristaps Porzingis
Al Horford

That's a pretty good line-up.
 
Yep, we have to hope Boston doesn't get Porz. They have the assets that a rebuilding team wants. High draft picks.

Portland sends all 3 first round picks this year.

Who says no (assume Melo signs off)

I don't think either team likes that. I like what you are thinking, but Portland doesn't want Melo. If you take off Melo and Crabbe, you have a good deal there.

This is easy and works: http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=ydhn4x6x Hell, Portland might save a pick or two since they are talking Noah.

Lillard and a pick for KP and Noah
 
He's made some immature moves indicating he wants out. It coulds happensz!
 
I think you do everything/Anything other than Gobert. This is one of the few trades that I would include Exum in without a second thought. I don't think the Jazz have the assets to convince Phil, though.
 
Naw, they're gambling everything on 2 7 footers can play together, it may be ugly. Too risky for Utah.

Sure they would. Why wouldn't they want Melo?
 
KP is going to be a top 10 player that is young enough for NY to rebuild around. He may have been upset last season because their roster was a joke with guys like Melo and Rose that are iso players. I don't get why Jackson would even consider trading him unless Jackson wants to run this franchise into the ground like IT did.
 
Of everyone being discussed lately/in play, ZINGIS is my 1st choice by a lot. Throw everything at him but Gobert and be having those conversations now.

I think the Jazz are on a second-tier in terms of partable assets, but good GM-ing is all about turning nickels and dimes into quarters somehow.
