New Idea With Lakers

[gregbroncs]

Do you understand that Diaw and Favors will almost certainly be gone next summer? This is exactly what I said last year about Hayward and everybody is feeling the sting of losing him for nothing. Small franchises have to get value for guys they know will leave.

So Favors can help get us to the 7th or 8th seed this season or get us a Kuzma, Bryant, Randle, or future pick who can be here longer and take us further. We don't have the money or appeal to sign a big free agent. We have to generate talent through a trade or finding a needle in the haystack overseas, late in the draft or in the GLeague.

So? We are supposed to take on one of the worst contracts in the league and give up A valuable expiring contract in exchange? And we are supposed to give up a serviceable player who may or may not leave. If the Jazz trade for Deng they are not giving up ANYTHING of ANY value. Nothing. If they trade for Deng they are giving up a late 2nd round pick and getting a king's ransom to take on that albatross.

Otherwise there is no point in taking on his contract.

I don't believe the Jazz should trade for Deng.

Letting Favors go for nothing is preferable to hamstringing the franchise with Deng's contract and a couple players that probably end up being at best bench players on a good team. Maybe one of them Blows up, but it's not worth the risk for that contract.

Randle, Kuzma, Bryant and a lottery protected first is value. Anybody should see that.

Two years of Deng after this one wouldnt be as bad as 4 years of injury prone Favors at even more.

Not sure if Chicago is wanting to get rid of Wade anymore now that free agency is mostly over but if they are wanting to salary dump him would they include Mirotic in a sign and trade to get rid of him?
Favor's, Burk's and Diaw for Wade and Mirotic. I would be okay with that deal.

Besides Wade's could teach the young guys something and his contract might be somewhat valuable at the trade deadline. Although that's why Chicago might just hang on to him since they have nothing else to spend their cap on.

I don't think I'd like the idea of Mitchell and Hood stuck on the bench behind Wade. And I don't think the Jazz would be excited about that idea either.

Chicago is still below the salary floor, not sure why they would want to give up anything to trade Wade.

We can trade Favors and Diaw for value without taking back a terrible contract.

I doubt the Bulls would go for it but if they did we dont have to play Wade in front of those guys. Also I would rather Mitchell earn playing time anyways. It wont set him back if he doesnt play a ton of minutes, no reason to clear room for him. If he is really good then he will get minutes, if he needs to develop then taking time to learn the game and earn minutes will be good for him. Besides there would be enough minutes to go around. Wade could start next to Hood and have Exum, Mitchell and Ingles come off the bench for one hell of a second unit.

This team would be really good if we could do it:

Rubio/Exum/Neto
Wade/Mitchell
Hood/Inlges
Favors/Mirotic
Gobert/Favors/Bradley

Plus we clear plenty of salaries off the books.

Yeah, I know they were wanting to get rid of him when he first opted in but I dont see them caring now. I guess the only reason would be so the could tank better and let the young guys play more. Wades contract could be valuable to them at the trade deadline though. A playoff team might want him and a few teams will want to dump a long term salary player for him to clear space for the next free agency.

Sure we could. You are absolutely right. I just think that Randle, Kuzma, Bryant and a pick is better value than we would find anywhere else.

But good point though. If Favors and Diaw can get us better elsewhere, I'm all for it.
