What's new

Nikola Mirotic

IMO, it would be a failure on the part of the FO to not move Favors before the deadline. Which is why I expect them to do it.

Favors needs to embrace the reality that he is now a 5. It's not the end of the world - the new 5 is basically like the old 4. Adapt or die, dude.

There can be no doubt that Favs is on the trading block. The decision will be, is getting a player back better for us in terms of talent and cap space or is letting him walk at the end of the year better. That is not near as easy of a decision of folks make it seem. As for playing 4 versus 5, I think Favs has adapted really well. I would bet that he is very happy at the 5 as long as he gets to play. Don't see that as an issue at all.

If that's the case, shut down the thread -- there ain't no trade happening. Bulls aren't saying yes.

I will give them Rubio and Burks, but I'm a pushover.
 
I've been looking at possible Mirotic trades. This one makes a lot of sense for everyone involved.

Jazz receive: Nikola Mirotic
Bucks receive: Derrick Favors
Bulls receive: Mirza Teletovic and the Bucks 2019 1st
 
Cleveland will not trade anybody who can possibly help them win in the playoffs. JR and Crowder have been awful, but they might be key in the playoffs.

Favors and Hood for Frye, Osman, Calderon and the Brooklyn pick really makes a ton of sense for them and us.

Yes ... if their goal is to maximize the 2018 playoffs, future be damned. But I'm not confident that this is what Koby Altman is thinking.
 
Hood is so much better for the next 3 years than the Brooklyn pick. I don't think LBJ is leaving. Even if he does, Hood, Love, and Isaiah might be a decent East team.

If the Jazz are able to get Mirotic I would also hope they're able to keep Hood and even start him along side Mirotic at SF and bring Ingles offf the bench. However on the Hood to CLE front and in the "do you remember when" vault, do you remember when LBJ raved about Hood while playing for Duke? Something a long the lines of people tuning in to see Jabari but Hood is ballin' out.

I’d trade Hood for ‘Tic. I don’t think we have to, but I would.
 
Hood and Favors for Tristan Thompson, Iman Shumpert, BKN pick, Cavs top-10 protected 2019 pick.

Haven't run it through a trade machine, but. But you should be able to add or sub Crowder and Thabo.

Cleveland would never do this.

Thompson’s contract sucks but if it lands us those two picks I’d take it. Then parlay a pick Chicago’s way.
