Trade deadline discussion

PJ Washington is probably a better player/fit then Reddish for us. He's available.
He got his way back to the rotation recently and been putting up numbers. It's still possible Hornet's trade him before deadline so they keep Bridges, but they can probably do better than what we offer them.
 
In that case I don’t believe we’d have anything enticing unless we were giving Butler and a distant pick that we don’t really have.
Unless they are currently under the cap (haven’t paid attention) and we can send out a lot of salary that we don’t take back so we can call it a basketball move and the “lolz we don’t make moves for money” guys can point to our return.

Would likely have to include Oubre+Washington for Ingles+Royce or something along those lines. If I'm them, I'm just keeping what I have though. I wouldn't want to move PJ so I wonder if it's his camp that wants out and is creating the rumors. The Hornets also desperately need a C, so a 3 teamer could be a possibility.

Tough to find a good fitting trade... not giving up a first for him unless its lotto protected.

Wonder if they'd do Royce for Washington and Martin. Get cost certainty as Martin is a free agent. Allows them to keep the rest of their dudes and stay below the tax. I think they like Oubre... he's been good for them.

How is Washington as a defender? His numbers look really solid and definitely not like something you'd get with just Royce.

I kind of like Washington and think he has potential, but I wouldn't want him and Bogey on the same team. If the Jazz go out and get PJ, they'd really need to develop him.

I'd rather deal Bogey (get additional teams involved cuz Bogey doesnt make sense on Charlotte) and get PJ + assets and keep Royce.
 
The pick that got Reddish was lotto protected until it turns into seconds...I think Reddish and PJ out to have similar value.
Probably the problem is the pick starts 2022... not sure how long the protections run... but it is likely to convey... we would have to start at 2026 and if it hasn't conveyed by 2028 then its seconds... a second that we already traded (twice kinda).

There are some things we could likely do to make something like that happen... just not moving heaven and earth for him.
 
Like if the Jazz could deal Bogey to a team, then that team deals their center to Charlotte, and Charlotte deals PJ+Martin to Utah, that could be an interesting deal.

Like maybe Wood or Turner? But then you'd have to get a 4th team, because Houston/Indy wouldnt make sense for Bogey either.
