Zach Lowe says the Jazz will trade for... Get ready Infection

Sabonis is on rookie contract so you probably could even send Davis and change with a host of picks. Not saying Indy would do that, just that would be enough to match the salary.

We can't trade Davis until Dec. 15, since he just signed as a FA. It might make sense for Indy to trade Sabonis at the trade deadline, unless he's becoming toxic to the team (like Kanter was).
 
It says a lot that Lowe is talking about a Jazz trade before the season begins. It seems a lot of the teams that do win it all, make one minor/impactful trade at the deadline (see the Pistons getting Rasheed Wallace), the Raptors (Marc Gasol), etc. If the Jazz do make a trade for a big who can hit from outside, my money would be on Aron Baynes. He was rumored to be waived by the Suns earlier this summer, (because he's 32 years old) but they decided to keep him. That being said, they've got Kaminsky, Saric and Ayton that they are developing. Look for Phoenix to move Baynes for whatever they can get at the deadline.

He's 6'10 and plays 4/5 hits 34% from 3, and 85% free throws. Joe Ingles will have instant chemistry with him from their time together on the Australian National team. Having a 5 that can shoot from beyond the arc, and hits all their free throws could be a huge difference-maker in the Utah lineups.

I’m sorta puzzled at why they would trade for Baynes when they could’ve signed him this offseason. It was certainly discussed, and I’m sure that Baynes would’ve signed with the Jazz for near-equal money over signing with Dumpster Fire, AZ.

He opted in because he wasn't assured a better offer than he had. Then was moved to Phoenix in a salary dump... we couldn't do that deal. I could see us making a trade if Davis isn't working. I like Baynes.
 
Was thinking -- if there is a PF-type target that we ought to look for, I might prefer Larry Nance Jr. I really doubt he's available though for anything we'd want to offer.
