2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

[Keefe]

DL, run away from Conley! He is to much risk, for to much money. Wait until the summer if you must and use the money to chase players who either have more upside, or will be cheaper (e.g., Winslow, Brogdon, Bledsoe, Kemba, D'Angelo Russell, Rozier, Dragic, Rubio, Beverly, etc.).
At the very least, don't make a trade until AD gets moved because he might free up a young guard who fits with Mitchell and is not a top highest 10 paid player (I see you Brogdon, Ball, & Heart).

Half of those guys are garbage.

If we can get Conley who might be the the best pg of that bunch, without losing Favors or Exum (I’m not confident that’s the deal—someone ask Tony Jones if either are involved with Rubio in the offer), we have to do that.

Conley-Exum
Mitchell-Korver
Ingles-O’Neale
Favors-Crowder
Gobert

We’d lose no one in our normal rotation other than Don Rick. And that wouldn’t be a loss. It’d be an upgrade.

I don't care if Ball is guaranteed to be the next magic Johnson, I never want him and his ****-show on the jazz.

The entertainment value would be worth it. Lavar's head would explode. But any trade would be voided after Lonzo refuses to report.

Well, Rudy might be an all-star with the attention the Ball family brings...

The refuse to report part would be true.

Or perma-snubbed because it's negative attention.

 

[fishonjazz]

Pels should take that tbh.

Agreed

If we flip Favors and Exum for Porter who is playing backup C? Because in order to have those guys left Bradley and Udoh are going to Memphis. So you'd have a big hole at backup C, the tallest player on the roster besides Gobert would be Jae Crowder.

There are also buyout guys that will be available. Backup center is the easiest rotation piece to find... they won't be nearly as good as Favs... but they will be fine.

It is pretty amazing that NY was able to get DSJ, 2 first round picks AND dump almost $40 million in contracts this summer all for a guy who hated NY.

Porzingis played in Malaga, Spain. I'd rehab there too.

 

[Jingled]

I just hope we don't end up waiting on Memphis right up until the deadline and then they decide to trade Conley to Detroit or not trade him at all and then we have no time to get anything else done.

First off, none of those guys are bums. Second, you are right that this year none of them are better than a healthy Conley... but it is not about this year. Over the last five seasons he has averaged 55 games a year and that probably isn't going to improve with age.

Would Conley make the Jazz better this year? Yes, but maybe not the next three (which is when we should be focusing on). Also, this move is not such a no brainier that we should make the move before knowing how everything is going to shake loose with AD.

On the LA/NO dealings, you can't add up quarters to make a dollar in the NBA. AD is a dollar. The Pels are right to ride this out. See if Boston offers Tatum or whoever wins the lottery puts Zion on the table.

 

[enchilada_style]

Keep Lavar away from my uncle Igor.

This must be the longest thread in this forum's history.

They tanked last year. He therefore sat.

Also, I have faith in Conley having a longish career given his dad was an athlete for a living.

and still 48 hours to go. lets crack 350 pages!

What's the longest? Keep in mind this still has dozens of pages to go.

I’m sure DL gave them a drop deadline. I’m sure Memphis is going to soak up all the clock. Grindhouse style.
