Trade Favors Before Long

LoPo said:
Just look at the factors:

Lakers don't have a 1st rounder in 2018
Randle needs a new contract
They won't trade Lonzo
They won't trade Ingram
Lopez and Caldwell Pope are expirings
Clarkson isn't a strong enough asset

Other than Kuzma, how else do they move Deng's contract. Please elaborate. If they did it now, there would be less fan outrage. They would all understand it is about summer 2018

So they rush into a trade in December?

Pls, just think.

I think there is merit to the idea they might trade him eventually, but they wouldn't do it this early. It could get to the point where his value goes so far up, teams will actually give them more than just cap-space for taking on Deng to get Kuzma.

Plus, they probably want to use this season to see who they want to jettison if they do actually end up chasing the double max cap-space: Kuzma or Ingram. They won't make a rash decision this early.

It all depends on if they really think Lebron is coming. I think they will have to move one of Ingram or Kuzma but I think they make someone eat clarksons deal too.

Or they will have to give up picks on picks... I think they will wait until they know for sure... like in when free agency opens, but I'd throw out some feelers their way. They won't have as many options and may have to pay extra but I'd much rather pay a little more and know I'm not going to look like an idiot using assets to clear space... that's how the kings roll.

Wait til the off-season and offer him a max.

How would we get room to offer the max?

I guess if we let everyone walk and waive everyone we might have enough. But that would mean taking the chance that the Bucks match and we would lose (by waiving them) Hood, Favors, Exum, JJ and Neto. I think we would also have to trade Burk before then. Plus the obvious of not picking up the options on Udoh, Sefolosha and Jerebko.

That would leave us with:
Gobert
Rubio
Ingles
Bradley

If Bucks match we would be screwed. Even if they dont that would gut our roster a lot to get him. I think we would have to trade for him.

I wouldn't touch Jabari at this point.

I would trade for him if its wasnt too much. Maybe they would go Monroe (who they wont re-sign and will lose for nothing) and Jabari for Burks and Favors. I think it would hurt us a little this year but you could put JJ starting and have Monroe and Udoh as the backup bigs.

Its a big risk for the Jazz but could pay off.

Big downside would be having Hood, Exum and Jabari as RFA. That puts the Jazz in a very scary position. All could get big offers and we could lose them or be forced to overpay all of them.
 
How many players have torn the same ACL twice? Danny Manning? I'm not optimistic that Jabari is going to be the same player.

I think he can recover just fine, he is young and the injury is very recoverable. I am not that high on him but he has potential still.

Josh Howard off the top of my head tore his twice. Bertans from the Spurs has torn his twice.
