Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

Stanley was my homer pick in that draft. I still think he could figure it out; if he could be had cheap, then I'd scoop him up. Swapping Hood for him isn't cheap, so Hell No to that. I agree with Hantlers, though: having O'Neale already in-the-fold reduces the interest in Stanley.

Hood better get us a first.
 
Yeah Detroit needs wing talent but they need cheap wing talent. Would seem kind of weird that they would shoot for a guy who is about to hit free agency, especially if they gave up the cheap wing talent they do have (Johnson, Kennard) to get him.

But trading for Blake doesn't really make sense either so who knows.

I think the following lineup could work: Rubio, Mitchell, Ingles, Johnson, Gobert. Sure, we lack a shooter just like with Favors, but Johnson's athleticism cutting, crashing, screening and rolling would be helpful. We would also be better on the break.

IDK I think if you aren't bringing back a shooter you should just start Jerebko. No more half measures or bad lineups. Haha I just realized that even bringing in a shooting 4 is still kind of a half measure with Rubio still out there. You really need 4 shooters and Rudy.

Jazz meeting Bulls to finalize the deal for Niko...

DL: "We are hearing Niko has a lower leg issue.... how about you include a couple of seconds to assuage our worries."

In the short term, you could just play Jerekbo. I'm thinking more long term. Johnson has shown a ton of potential as a defender who is able to switch onto smaller players. A defensive weapon like that is essential in today's NBA. If we had him, Jingles, Thabo, O'Neale as SF/PF guys who can defend small lineups, we would be well served. Guys like Draymond and Iggy make GS unique because they can go small without losing defense. We could have the same ability with a number of guys since we don't have the top quality Draymond provides.
 
"Hey Niko, did you know that you'll be coming down with flu-like symptoms at some point in the next 12 hours?"
 
I'll be severely disappointed with the Jazz if we trade Hood for Johnson and that's the only thing that happens for the Jazz
 
Well I guess it is tank SZN then. Infection going to die.
 
This is a double hit to the Jazz since one of the suitors for our players and their first round pick is out of the picture now.

Anyone else know who shoots like absolute crap that we can trade for also?
 
The boogie injury and a desperate pelicans screwed that for us. Honestly dumb move by the Pelicans but they don't want to face the music. Oh well. No way could we ever give up a first.
 
They got an offer for a first round pick. They took it. I didn't want us to give up out pick and if that's the price it would have taken, then it's OK to not make a bad deal.

BTW this one comes to show that our first indeed was never on the table.
