    Why is Porter Junior available? (Oh Otto Porter-I thought it was Michael-never mind)

    I just read the article on Conley. They are saying it would take Rubio and Favors to get it done. I wonder if that is an improvement for the Jazz

    My question would be if you’re Memphis isnt that just moving sideways? I assume if they want to trade Conley and / or Gasol. They would want to get younger and get picks.

    The problem for most teams is they have to match Conley's 30 million salary. The Jazz only have a few players who can get you there. Hopefully there will be players next year who are good but need to be moved since we have so many expiring contracts.

    Favors, Rubio, Sefelosha, and a 1st Round Pick for Conley and Green make a ton of sense. Have Favors go to a 3rd team for some combination of a late 1st, 2nd(s), and young piece(s) back to Memphis.

    EDIT: Just saw the suggestion above.

    Well I would definitely do that trade.
    I am surprised at Otto Porter's measurements. 6'8" 205?
    I thought he was at least 220. He plays bigger

    Jakes emergence makes it even more urgent that we “dump” a contract. Sunshine is gonna get paid, and as we saw with Crabbe, it only takes one team to force Portland into a decision they don’t want to be faced with. They’re going to have a tough time filling out the roster if he gets paid and no one else leaves.

    On a somewhat related note, how much trade value does Layman have?

    Who do you have in mind? For example, I wouldn’t trade him for Prince. I’m also not sure he has enough value to bring back a more clear upgrade.

    Would you include him in a trade for Porter or Griffin?

    This is kinda what I was thinking. He's prolly as valuable as a mid first round pick maybe.

    The contract and age are hurdles, but I think he's worth more than our lotto protected pick. Depends on the team. Unfortunately, we probably value him more than everyone else.

    Question???????????

    Why would NY not block our number for even offering something so insanely lopsided in our favor?

    I’ll negotiate with you...

    Portland includes Collins and gets NY’s number 1 pick (top 3 protected)
