Made up trade

I will get straight to the point. Would anybody trade Rodney Hood and Trey Lyles to the Magic for Aaron Gordon and Mario Hezonja?

I love Rodney and wish he could stay healthy. This trade is not about getting rid of him even for health reasons. I would just love to see Aaron Gordon's perimeter defense at the 4 spot with Rudy protecting the rim. Gordon was actually rated higher in the top 25 under 25, so it is not lopsided. A team has to give something good to get something good.

If Alec stays healthy could the team manage the rest of the 2-guard minutes? Could Hayward play some time there to get Joe Johnson on the court more?

A related note, but please discuss separate from the trade. Should the Jazz keep both Hood and Favors. Both may require large contracts that could financially cap the Jazz and they miss a lot of time. Both have great talent for sure, but is it a problem to have both?
