He won’t get moved. He is on a great deal and there are amazingly very few players better than him that we could upgrade to. All of which would cost significantly more.
And as pointed out by others, the Jazz aren’t consistently giving him all star minutes so he isn’t going to net you as much...
This strategy of looking okayish for half a season then full on tanking is beyond dumb. Basically, it’s valuing these late draft picks we are getting from other teams over the ability of our own pick being top 5.
Buy him reinforcements for what? Without a second top 20 player they aren’t going anywhere. And you’re right… you have to find the right situation / person. Otherwise Jrue would be a Jazz man now.
It’s frustrating… but there has to be a top 20 player available to get. So they are keeping themselves in a position to pull the trigger when it becomes possible.
Just gathering any asset they can get while waiting / hoping a big player becomes available later… I get that it takes two parties to make a trade, but kind of depressing to be in the wait and see mode.
I’m pro acquiring Trae and it will cost a lot. However, I don’t think these are the pieces the Jazz would agree to. I’d bet the Jazz keep Key, and I don’t see them getting rid of both JC and Sexton. They will want at least one of them in a sixth man role.
