We HAVE to make a trade.

to be fair....I heard Bjelica is a serb and the sderb connection with vlade divac was quite strong on that.

If DL don't overpay Dante and Neto, we have more than enough space to outbid the Kings at 6mil a year. Same can be said about Brook Lopez, Vonleh, Harrell, etc. Like every actual NBA caliber player available last summer that can help us right now.

Ye i wasn't a big fan of the dante signing. I knew he was what he is since the day he was drafted. I was really against that pick.

If the Jazz wanted Bjelica, they'd have gone after him. Bjelica wasn't going to change our season.

He changed the Kings season.

Given his potential fit on our team I don’t think we can accurately say that he wouldn’t have changed things. He fills many holes on our team.

No doubt but we have Favors, Crowder, Sefalosha and Niang at the 4. There just wasn’t time for him.

And perhaps that’s our problem. We’re too loyal to players. A major part of that is knowing it’s tough to recruit players to come here so we want to treat those we draft or get very well. But ****, we don’t owe **** to Sef, Niang or anyone else for that matter.

That’s why you don’t ****ing re-sign Favors. Or if you do, tell him he’s signing on to be the pure backup 5 (since he was in no position to ask nor actually sign for the money he got).

Cavs are willing to take on bad salary for assets. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25384727/lebron-james-takes-control-lakers
Hill and Korver join JR Smith on the trade block.

If the Cavs are willing to take bad contracts, I wonder if we can use them as our 3rd team in a bigger deal. We already have a working relationship with the Cavs FO after the Crowder/Hood deal.

The Jazz don’t have assets or terrible contracts (only ill-advised, unnecessary ones), though.

The Jazz are also more likely in a similar niche on the trade market. They don’t have assets for buying, but have cap space to sell.

I agree 100%. We should have signed Bjelica and let Favors walk. We would have saved $10 million to use on absorbing contracts. Better yet, we should have also let Thabo walk. Thats $15+ million right there. I'm okay with Udoh because an expiring $3.36 for an emergency center isnt that bad.

We can't cry over spilled milk though. We gotta learn from it.

Get aggressive DL. Yes, Porter is overpaid, but he makes what you paid to Favors and Thabo this year. And Porter is better than both. If you are gonna waste cap money, waste it on a better product.

Ricky Rubio for John Wall. John Wall is a better version of Rubio. Wall, Mitchell, and Gobert could be a Big 3 for the future. Utah would have to include 2 Pick’s probably, but Washington gets out of Walls deal and gets Rubio’s expiring.

You'd have to add a lot more to get Wall just to match the salary

I don't like Wall enough to take on his $40+ the 4 years after this one. Miami has interest in Wall: https://heatnation.com/rumors/report-miami-heat-could-be-potential-suitor-john-wall/ Use Miami to take Wall and we get an upgrade at PG with Dragic.

Jazz get Dragic and Olynyk
Heat get Wall and Jason Smith
Wiz get Rubio, Burks, draft considerations from Miami and minor draft considerations from us
http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y7rf5a4n

Miami gets Wall AND gets out of the luxury this year. Washington sheds Wall for expirings while also being able to stay pretty decent with the addition of Rubio and Burks.

I'd love to know what other offers Favs had...maybe like a one year deal in NOLA or LA? The money wouldn't have been as good is my guess. I thought this was the deal, but based on what insiders have said it was quite the opposite... he re-signed in part because we told him we were committed to making the Rudy Favs pairing work.

I think people already know this... but I'd do a Ricky for Hill swap right now... I think they would too. They want some vets to help their guys but would save $5M in the swap... they are also tanking so having a good player like Hill on the court is not ideal.
