If the deal improves the Jazz, you wouldn't do a deal with Ainge?

Correct. **** Ainge. I don’t talk deal with Boston until he’s gone. If that deal goes south on you after the Hayward thing, you get run out of town. Not worth it.

No! Youve got to draw a line somewhere. Ainge and Boston ****ing us over with Benedict/Crowder situations created that line.
Someone mentioned earlier but the only time we should be involved with Boston is in a deal that moves Benedict to basketball purgatory somehwere.

I don’t even do that tbh. I don’t harbor any ill feelings towards Hayward. He did what he did. But the Celtics benefited from how he did it at the expense of the Utah Jazz. I’m rooting against the Celtics, and I sure as hell won’t make a deal that might make them better.

Hayward ****ed us so hard the way he handled things. I cant see myself ever forgiving him for it.

There's literally nothing that Boston has of value that they'd trade us for Hood.

They have 6 first rounders between this year and next. I'm pretty sure they have something they can give us.

PG13 throwing a spanner in the works late?? Sounds like he is back peddling from his previous comments.

Ainge is a stingy **** though. Probably offering two 2nds with protections...

Maybe, maybe not. Hard to tell. I guess he can hold onto all those picks and hope the Pelicans take 5 of them for Davis. At this point, I'm just trade deadline fatigued. I just want to win this stupid Memphis game, watch who we pick and move the heck on. And I love trades.
I have a really bad feeling we aren't going to do anything and then say - well, we didn't have an offer we liked then go lose in the first round of the playoffs 4-0 or 4-1 then lose Favors for absolutely zilch in the summer.
It's the same thing we did with Jefferson, Millsap, AK, etc., etc. We barely got anything for Boozer.

Ainge is a horse trader. I wouldnt deal with him on any type of transaction.
Ainge slides live eels down the horses throat and puts burs under the saddle to make an old nag seem lively.
If he was flipping houses you'd have to pull the carpet to look for mold.
He makes average nba players look above average and fringe players look like rotation players. He inflates their value, then trades th em away.

I hope not. I don’t think that’s what JJ means by playoff team unless they’re buying him and and trying to get off Chandler’s last year. I’d rather not pick up Chandler for next year for $12M.

Favors has trade value right now. We should cash in on that unless we have a very strong feeling he is extremely important to our current window and he's staying at a fair price. Not trading him when we know he's gone is just poor decision making for a small market franchise not known for signing big names.
Also, this would be “making a move just to make a move.”
