Trade Deadline

Trey is a decent back up PG, and I have somewhat of an emotional attachment to him, but I think this is the type of deal worth taking a risk on. It has the potential to look like a robbery in hindsight.

Growing sense around the league is that the Jazz are poised to go through with the Ty Lawson deal with the Rockets

Ty Lawson talks are serious and Jazz have committed to ship out Trey Burke ... 12 hours and change left for someone to trump Houston's offer

Ugh. Unbelievable...
 
I'm not sure how I feel about this. I think idiot is right though, I think this is as much about finding Burke a new home as it is the Jazz trying to come out ahead on some deal. While I like Lawson - or at least have - I'm not sure I get the upside here. Because of that, I think the Jazz should get another asset.
 
Anyone else think this is actually very low risk? From what Andy Larson has been tweeting it seems like Trey wants out and I'm also thinking Utah wasn't going to pay him in restricted free agency anyway. So instead of losing Trey for nothing, we get to shed Tibor or Booker's contract and acquire Lawson. Lawson has a team option for next season, so if he works out for us, we will be solidly in the playoffs in the next month and he can back up Dante next year. If he doesn't work out, Utah doesn't exercise his team option and we essentially trade Trey for an extra $6MM or so in cap space.

I serious doubt we're going to trade Burke and Booker for Lawson, yes maybe for Hill. I expect it will be Trey and Pleiss.

This.

The only risk I see is for lawsons off court and locker room issues to rub off on our core players.

I don't think it will happen but it's a possibility

Nah, it'd only be a risk for the younger players, *maybe*.


Derrick and Gordon already have children now. Do you think Rudy is the kinda guy who'd put aside his playoff aspirations to collect DUIs with Lawson?

We have a strong FO, and an entire roster of high character guys. It'd be quite important to keep Booker because he's close to Lawson's age and I think he's probably our best bet in terms of someone on the Jazz connecting with him.
 
tl;dr I'm hoping its Pleiss + Burke for Lawson + filler, whether it's Dekker or a protected 1st rounder
 
Does nobody want Gasol like I do?

Burke for Lawson and a highly protected 1st--doable if they want to dump salary
Burks, CJ and GS 1st for Gasol and Moore--I think Chicago can get more but Burks and a 1st is solid

Lawson-Exum-Neto
Hood-Moore
Hayward-Ingles
Favors-Gasol-Lyles
Gobert-Withey

This team this year and next would be sick. I also think Lyles can definitely play some three behind Hayward.

We'd still have our own 1sts, the OKC 1st, the Houston 1st and a ton of 2nds too so we could possibly throw in additional picks to Chicago to make it work. Gasol would have to know we'd want him coming off the bench though.

We agree.
Like I said, I don't think it will happen but it is a possibility and therefore a risk

Even if it meant making a legit run at a title next year (that team may seriously be good enough though I doubt it) and him being able to teach Favors and Gobert some low-post technique and moves?
 
Marc Stein: ESPN sources say Rockets, if Ty Lawson trade talks with Utah were to collapse, would strongly consider waiving Lawson if they can't move him
 
Really think we can rob a coupla things from the Rockettes here

Eh I might do it.
Burks would be gone
