Trade Deadline

I'm just happy something is happening that we can talk about.

We won't get a first in this deal guys... At best maybe a pick swap with the gsw or OKC pick

Then this deal should not go down. What is the incentive for Utah? Take on Houston's problem for the right to give them 2 rotation players for 1 player that is a problem for them? If it's Pleiss and not Booker then you give up a young guy with some potential for their problem on top of a better player who has accepted his role.

He doesn't look too happy and his LV travel bag conspicuously placed in the photo smacks of foreshadowing. Course he is on an airplane... WTF do I know.
 
I'd guess we get the right to swap picks in 2017.

Burke & Pleiss for Lawson and a 2017 pick swap, I'd do that deal

A pick swap with either of those could be great for us.

The Jazz have done due diligence on Ty Lawson though and it seems like they are happy with his off court issues.

Houston has been trying to get out of Lawson for weeks now. So it's not a 1st to get Burke. It's a 1st to get someone to take Lawson.

Yes. And the BIGGEST part of this is Houston is $3.6M OVER the tax line. There's huge motivation for making a trade to drop below the line. Outside of Lawson, I don't really see another player or combination of players they might want give up for $3.6M or more. Pick would probably be lottery-protected for 2017, then top-10, etc. if not conveyed. It will have conditions, but I think Lawson is worth a shot...if a pick is coming our way.

Edit: Pick swap would also be ok (or 2018 pick). But I like the pic swap for 2017 better. Gives Utah better ammo in a deep draft.

I don't see that as the worst case scenario. I see he comes here pulls a Kanter destroys moral in our young locker room and the team falls apart this season and we end up starting over again as the worst case scenario.

I know I'm late, but Jesus dude, do you really have so little faith in our players? Lawson is just going to destroy everything we've built?

I LOVE the risk/reward scenario here. And an extra first rounder out of the deal? Hell yea.

It's the PERFECT STORM.

lllolololollollololooo!!!!!! Not going to happen. Lover Boy is crazy. I'm just sitting at my desk relaxing through the end of a nice quiet uneventful trade deadline. Gotta love it baby!!!!!
 
I remember hearing something like "once you hear the rumor, the talks are usually over" so the fact that nothing is done and we are now hearing about it, I have to say it probably wont get done.
 
People constantly have career revivals after being traded. Lawson may thrive here.

Lawson
Hood
Hayward
Favors
Gobert

5 seed baby.
