Potential trade discussion

[Elizah Huge]

Would you guys want the Jazz to take on Eric Gordon and PJ Tucker from the Rockets?

Renounce Favors and say the Rockets wanted multiple second-round picks.

Having Gordon come off the bench would be lethal and Tucker is a great defender who can hit the 3.

If there was an option to sign both if we renounced Favors I think everyone would be all for it. The problem is we’d be helping the Rockets sign Jimmy Butler.

This is all pure speculation and I don’t know if the Rockets would be willing to trade with us and vice versa plus add the fact that it would be helping them gain Butler.

Hell no. We don't need Gordon with Conley and Tucker isn't good enough to enable the Rockets getting Butler. They're already better than us, why make it impossible to beat them for poor fits?

With the Conley trade they are not better than us. If we don’t take on Gordon and Tucker some other team will. Tucker and Gordon are big reasons why they beat us in the playoffs. It would severely deplete their bench and they would not have a starting PF. Gordon off the bench would be amazing for our team and how is Tucker a poor fit?

I would do it... but they won't dump those guys without picks... I think they will dump Capela for picks then use Tucker and EG in the sign and trade with Philly. Helps them get some shooting and balance the roster.

Rockets will then sign DeAndre Jordan... I don't think they end up with a better team and I think it will cause more issues in the locker room (Capela is hardens dude and Deandre is Paul's dude).

Maybe they fill in awesome minimum guys throughout the roster but they don't scare me any more with Jimmy given the cost.

We don't have the picks to offer. HOU is not going to give you Eric Gordon for second round picks. They want 1sts...

I dont think the Rockets are better than us now with us having Conley. Also CP3 is getting worse and worse.

But they are definitely a better team if they get Butler to go with Harden. Capela can be mostly be replaced with DeAndre or Looney. Eric Gordon and Tucker losses would hurt but getting another all-star player is an upgrade. They can find shooters to put around them. Gordon did have one of his worst seasons of his career and will probably continue to decline. PJ tucker is okay but his production should be pretty easy to replace that 7 ppg and 6 boards.

I dont think its that good of trade for the Jazz plus I dont think Houston would make the trade. Kind of a bad trade situation for both teams.

I don’t think they are anymore. I’ll take the Jazz with Conley.

If the thought of Jimmy Butler on the Rockets doesn’t scare you, it should

 

[hgb]

I would take Gordon and Tucker for 2nd rounders any day of the week, but I'm not so sure about Favors and 2nd rounders, I like Derrick.
Anyway, I can't see the Rockets letting them go for basically nothing, they'll get more value than that.

 

[NUMBERICA]

No.

1 - we don’t have the picks.
2 - we shouldn’t help them land Butler

 

[fishonjazz]

No.

1 - we don’t have the picks.
2 - we shouldn’t help them land Butler

3 - Tucker is over rated as ****

Jazz not going to take tucker lmao.

If we don’t help someone else will. I don’t understand that logic.

We don’t know that. I generally don’t subscribe to that logic, but when it’s a team that’s directly been in your way in back-to-back years, it changes.

Jimmy Butler has already had problems with teammates. Paul and Harden don't get along. I think adding Butler to that locker room is great for everybody in the west except Houston. Butler is going to enjoy sitting around watching Harden dominate the ball? Paul can barely stand it Butler would be a volatile guy added to that already troubled locker room.

I'm not a Rockets fan so it doesn't scare me, If I were, it would.

It's not worth it for the Jazz. Or for the Rockets.

hows about this logic sunshine .. you need to change your name from Conley Island "Island" implies you're isolated, stranded out on your own bravely battling the elements like i am on Exum island. You my friend should change your handle to "Conley Bandwagoner"

 

[SCS]

Nope. No thank you.

PJ Tucker is overrated. The only thing he really provides is 3 point shooting. He's in the PERFECT system to show off his best skill. I would bet money that if he ever leaves the Mike D'Antoni system he will quickly fall out of his next teams rotation. Plus he's 34.

Eric Gordon is becoming less efficient offensively by the year. He's also a smaller two guard, can't seem to stay healthy, is bad on defense, and doesn't provide much other than scoring. Getting him would mean replacing Favors with him and being stuck in a tough spot at the 4.... no thanks.

Plus we just traded a bunch of picks away. I'm not a fan of trading more unless it's for a major acquisition.

 

[Getting Traded]

Wow, do the posters underrate Tucker and Gordon. They are both very good players. I don't see where Gordon had one of the worst years of his career. I don't know about the stats, but he is a borderline All-Star and Tucker is very solid on both ends of the court. In one playoff game this year he made 4 three's in a row against us.
