Is Joe Johnson off the Jazz Tradable Assets List?

[mdalby]

The title of this thread is a little deceptive. I think everyone on the roster is tradable with the exception of Gobert.

What I mean is I think Iso Joe has the characteristics that the Jazz really value for this roster and locker room. He is the ultimate professional both on/off the court. He is exactly the kind of guy that we want to stabilize our players when we are having uncertainties this coming season.

If needed, I am sure they would include him in a package for the long term best interests of the team but I bet they are not out there freely offering Joe in proposals.

They would only trade him if he requested it imo or if it was a championship situation. I think he has a great relationship with Hood and is the mentor he needs.

No

The Jazz can and probably should trade him by the deadline.

I agree, *gasp* *Choke*, with Cy.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if he is traded by the deadline to a team that is going to be in the playoffs. I know if I was a GM i would love him coming in off my bench in the playoffs.

Why... unless I get a first or the season has gone to **** no reason to move him.

I doubt someone trades a first for him.

Uhh, he probably isnt going to be on the team past this year. If you can get future assets, you probably just do it.

A second rounder or maybe even a young end of the bench player that the Jazz like

Pass... I plan on is being in the playoffs... JJ for the second half of the year and playoffs is worth more than a second rounder to me.

If we get a first rounder or he requests out then sure but I don't think there is a contender that could make salaries work and has a first or good young player they would part with.

You don't have to cash in every expiring contract for future assets... if they are assets that move the needle then sure, but this season matters too. Our second rounders the last few years have been guys that haven't and will never contribute. I doubt a contender has and is willing to give up a first... so I think the idea is silly

How many second round picks ever contribute at the level Joe Johnson will contribute this season?

You may get a 2nd round pick. Not worth it.

Jazz could probably move him for a late first-round pick, a bit like Lou Williams last year. I could see a team like the Spurs picking him up. I'm not sure the Jazz would move him for this, but I think they'd include him in a bigger trade package.

It could be. Draymond Green was a 2nd round pick.
