If we could trade Hood to dump Burks and get a late first rounder or 2, I think it's worth it.
What's the goal if we dump Burks? Who are we trying to sign?

I didn't think Burks had the nasty in him, but after seeing him lose it on that smart phone I think he eventually ends up speculating in some form of human trafficking. Probably southeast Asia.

I'm not very sure. What is certain is that Burks is out of favor and a waste of 2018-19 money for us. He is not an asset we could trade for an expiring by himself.
Hypothetically, we could target a massive salary dump deal using Favors and JoeJ if we knew we didn't have to pay Burks his $11+ next season.
The only thing I would want from them is their own pick or Collins. They are not giving those up. Late first round picks are a meh asset, hardly worth anything.
I think Hood has to be be pretty significantly more valuable than Mirotic on the trade market. If we use him simply to get Mirotic and offload Burks, I'll be super disappointed and sad to see him gone.Disagree... first round picks are gold in the NBA... late aren't amazing obvi, but there is value there. Maybe you do AB and Hood to Atlanta for one of those picks and flip the pick for Niko.
Would you trade AB and Hood for Niko? I probably would... so you involve Atlanta and get the 1st necessary to facilitate the transaction.
So give up and asset (like Hood) to get rid of Burks, just to take bad salary back to get an asset? Don't see the point. Yes Burks is on a bad deal but if there's no glaring reason to need the space, then it doesn't make much sense.

Here's some 'potential' trades from a SLC Dunk writer. Cleveland and Philly are fair but most are homer trades.

I'm sure this was brought up earlier in the thread, but I'm lazy. Who thinks this is a direct result of fans booing Hood? From what I hear, and what we've seen, he's kind of a headcase. His confidence swings wildly and when he gets in a hole things go badly. Do you think he told the Jazz he doesn't want to come back? Pretty sure he did.
Would we be able to get Dragan Bender and a late 1st from Phoenix?
The Philly trade isn't bad. The Cavs would probably want Favors in that deal over Joe in order to send their 1st.
Most years you can buy a late first. Early seconds are generally more valuable than late firstsDisagree... first round picks are gold in the NBA... late aren't amazing obvi, but there is value there. Maybe you do AB and Hood to Atlanta for one of those picks and flip the pick for Niko.
