He has an absolute toxic contract but he appears to have some game in him as he scored 14 on 6-10 shooting in the NBA Africa game. The Jazz should be able to acquire some assets as well in a trade. What do you think?
 
The only way this would happen is if L.A. gave D.L. an offer he couldn't refuse - picks and/or talent. And I don't see that happening with D.L. or any other GM so L.A. can enjoy paying Deng $36,000,000 more.
 
It would require some creativity and perhaps you could get a Kuzma or Josh Hart out of the deal. A draft pick probably will be garbage because Lebron is there.
 
If they threw in Kuzma and only took back replaceable pieces like Burks/Sef I'd think about it. No guarantee I'd do it though. Deng's contract would prevent us from being players in FA. And there's no guarantee that Kuzma is the missing piece we need here. A Mitchell/Gobert/Kuzma/Rubio/Dante young core is really exciting in theory though.

Back in the day I was a fan, but what has he become?

Who on earth is going to take on that contract? Only if they threw in someone delicious (which they wouldn't).

free agency. When jazz ever been serious contenders in free agency?
 
This. It would be worth it to add another quality young guy with great potential. Kuzma is the only guy that I’d look at taking that horrible contract off their hands.
Your tripping. Hart would look read good with Jazz but this all moot Lakers say throwing trade Ingram Kuzma Hart Ball but I could see Ball being traded because of Lavar.

When was the last time they had a young star like Mitchell who other big names would love to play with? Just because the Jazz haven't been big contenders in free agency in the past doesn't mean that they can't be in the future. I really think that Mitchell is going to help attract a big name at some point in his career.
