Jazz Official Trade Rumours & Speculation Thread

If the Jazz handed out a huge trade exception and Booker, then they would have asked for Harrison Barnes as compensation.

I think it probably came down to picks. 2019, 2021, guaranteed, protections, etc. I doubt Barnes was ever on the table, since trading him and Lee would significantly erode their frontline.

Seems really strange what BOS is trying to do... they keep bringing in players that will ruin their tank (Isiah Thomas last year, Lee this year).. meanwhile they don't really have a true star to build around.


They've got quite a few picks from other teams but those teams are unlikely to be bad intentionally ....

Agreed. Making the same mistakes we did after Stockton and Malone left. Building through the draft seems better way to go. Takes longer to rebuild but in the long run....

pardon me... It probably came down to a sexy threeway with Paul George.
 
I think it's more or less a given that the Jazz are floating Trevor Booker's non-guaranteed deal and likely Trey Burke to see what it might yield--player, picks, etc.

There are still a few FAs I'd take a look at.

Also, David Lee would be an upgrade offensively from Trevor Booker. He also passes, rebounds and has experience in an open, free-flowing system the Jazz want to run. That would have been a good pick-up for the Jazz.

Ok Jody Gennesy 2.0

No.

No thanks.

I'll keep Booker.
 
I'd rather have Booker than Lee... Not sure what the hell Ainge is doing... He want to get a roster full of undersized shooting guards who are good on defense and athletically challenged but skilled big guys who don't play defense.

Dorrell Wright? Bring him on as a stretch 4 +injury insurance at the 3/4?

That's a player who has always perplexed me. I must have randomly seen some of his better games over the years, because I've always been curious why he can't really stick.

I don't think he's enough of an upgrade to (potentially) ruin the chemistry of the team the Booker brings to the table, but I've been told I overrate that aspect too much.
 
I'd rather have Booker than Lee. I can understand moving Booker if the right deal comes along, but it needs to be for a player that gets the team wins. I don't see Lee as being enough of an upgrade to justify the cost of losing Booker and renting Lee for a year. Not the right time for a move like that.
