Would the following make sense.
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=a45q3xr
Pierce give Utah leadership and and a playmaker outside of the paint. I think Pierce can transform that team from just making the playoffs to being a threat.
Boston gets Favors and buys out the two guards in their last years of the contract. In the end, they pay Favors about 5 million next year vs. 15 million for Pierce next year (or 5 million not to have Pierce)
Would not have made this trade before Rondo's injury.
-
Replacing Favors with Kanter also works.
-
Don't see Utah giving up either Kanter or Favors for Pierce. They're not close enough to title contention to justify such a move.
-
Yeah Utah doesn't want Pierce and maybe more importantly Pierce probably doesn't want Utah.
-
Pierce going to Utah doesn't make them a contender. Pierce won't want to go there.
Out of Utah's four bigs, their front office likes Favors the most, because he has the most star potential. They're not giving him up.
-
Favors and Kanter are staying in Utah, and so is either Millsap or Jefferson.
-
I dont see the Jazz sending out Favors or Kanter for Pierce either. So this makes more sense from our perspective but I dont think the Jazz do it. And we'd have a tough time giving Milsap a new deal.
