Trade Deadline

Honestly I'd rather have Kanter as 6th man than Harris. More dominant skills that can be harnessed in 20 minute stretches and are more reliable.

I just see Harris' future as being an unreliable tweener who averages around 12-15 ppg on mediocre efficiency.

One skill that is not that valuable depending on the team you talk to does not overcome two fatal flaws.

Detroit wasnt willing to give up a pick to get Tobias Harris (that or Orlando is just really bad at negotiating), so I doubt they would give us a pick for a backup PG.

while you were posting this I went looking at Detroits picks credit and debits. According to Draft Express Detroit is not getting anyones picks, but they don't owe their own picks to anyone. I don't think they will give up their own picks, so no they really don't have anything to offer the Jazz. Jazz do NOT need anymore 2nd round picks.

Also, word is coming out that they want a veteran Gaurd. Jameer Nelson playing for Denver is an old SVG guy, he makes more sense.
 
Pity that the hypothesized trade, Kanter in exchange for Ilyasova of the Bucks, didn't happen last season!

Teams trading easily Ilyasova despite being a good player with an acceptable contract, maybe DL could have materialized that deal.

This is a good point. Withey has value to Atlanta.

I've heard from enough people around the Jazz that Teague is to ball dominant. Don't think that one happens but the thought of fit for withey makes sense.
 
A possible sign something is going down?

Hopefully trade Burke and Booker for a starting PG.

Last season at this point almost everyone was considering Tobias Harris better than Kanter. Opinions change fast.
 
I'd rather have Kanter...because then we could get rid of him and suddenly get better. He's like a nitro-boost for the team every time they trade him for nothing.

Not me. Still don't hate Kanter despite his D-bag attitude before and after the trade deadline. Like some elements of his skill set (offensive bulldozer and rebounding) but his defensive liabilities were way too much to keep at his current price. Wish the Jazz could've gotten more, but they made the right call.
 
Anyway I hope DL will make something good before the trade deadline to compensate for Kanter's last season poor trade.

It was better to get the rights to Alex Abrines rather than Pleiss.

Basically Kanter has been traded to create cap space and for a protected first-round pick. Both Pleiss and Jerrett are garbage players. Not mentioning that Pleiss makes more money than Hood and Gobert this season and the next one too.
