That would be a dark, ****** thing, for everybody. Anyone think Favors or Hood want to even finish out the season here?

Possible. I think Favors is most likely to move but I could certainly see where the only move we make this year is buying out Joe Johnson.
 
Just want to stop in to say that as much as I hate Rubio on this team and want him traded, I think he would fit and play much better if the jazz added an elite shooter/floor spreader like niko.

Andy Larson thinks the Jazz say yes on a three team:

Favors to Cleveland
Bradley to Chicago

Osman, Frye to Chicago

Mirotic to Utah

I'm curious why he thinks Utah says yes. Everything we've heard is that Bradley is DL's advanced stats golden boy. If he won't give up a first rounder for Mirotic, would he give up Bradley?

I kind of like this if Chicago can't get a 1st. Just enough risk/pain/reward to match (what I imagine to be) each team's circumstances.

I guess I haven't gotten the memo that Bradley is DL's golden boy, though.
 
It sounds like Cavs are also interested in wings. They have interest in Bazemore so they might have interest in both Hood and Favors.

Jazz get Mirotic, Crowder and Osman
Cleveland gets Hood and Favors
Bulls get Burks, Frye and Cleveland's late 1st

I think its a win for everyone.

Jazz roll with this deep team with a solid starter group next year.
Exum, Rubio,
Mitchell, Inlges
Crowder, Sef
Mirotic, Jerebko
Gobert, Udoh
 
I'm sure someone's mentioned, Hood is a restricted FA this off-season. Hood isn't "walking for nothing." If the Jazz try to trade him, it's because they don't want to pay him what they think another team is going to offer him. There's chatter going on between Hood's agent and DL, and maybe everyone is getting a sense of what Hood's market is going to be.

The Jazz like Hood, but maybe not at $18M/year.

I do think that Favors and Hood would be a great fit with Cleveland. It would refresh the roster. I just feel that Cleveland wants to keep any current valuable player. Crowder could be very valuable come playoff time and it would be silly to trade him for Favors and/or Hood this soon. I just feel like this trade is so much better for Cleveland:

Frye, Osman, Calderon and Brooklyn's 1st
for
Favors and Hood

The Brooklyn 1st probably won't end up being better than a top 10 pick. Hood by himself is worth a top 10 pick in my opinion to a team like Cleveland who will pay whatever it takes to keep a contender around LeBron. A rookie vs a 25 year old averaging 16 per game - LeBron takes the 25 year year old every single time.

They are not trading that pick unless its for a player Lebron Demands and as part of doing the trade Lebron gives an agreement to stay next year.

The link I posted talked a great deal about that. Personally I would be shocked if they traded it at all and definitely would be shocked if they traded it for someone who was not an all-star level player.

Hood and Favors are not fetching that pick. Favors and Hood are going to be more valuable to Cleveland than Crowder.

Hood is not worth a top 10 pick, if he was we would not be looking to trade him.

The Brooklyn pick is worth way more than Crowder and a late 1st as well, so obviously the trade I posted is more likely.


But sure if Cleveland was willing to do that deal I would do it. But its not a reasonable deal.
 
Agree, RM. With the state of the Cavs, I think Cleveland has to believe Lebron is out the door at the end of the year. The Brooklyn pick, even though it's not top-5 right now, could still net a player to build around, especially as other vets are traded. They'll only trade the Brooklyn pick to bring in a major talent. Favors and Hood are not in that category.

Cavs defense has been awful and IT is a huge part of that. IMO, the deal that makes sense for Cleveland is Favors and Rubio for Thompson, Frye, Osman and the Cavs pick.

Cavs get great defense at two key spots, allowing Love to move back to his natural position.

Not a huge fan of Thompson, but his contract is only slightly worse than Rubio's. Granted, it has an extra year, but the main draw is getting a good prospect in Osman and that pick. Then trade Burks (or Johnson) to Chicago + the Cav's pick for Mirotic.

Jazz net a starting 4 (Mirotic), a backup big (Thompson) and a young SF for Quin to develop to back up Ingles and maybe eventually start. Also clears the way for Mitchell and Exum to split time at PG.
