Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

I think Juancho is a goner either in trade or waived. I also wouldn't be surprised to see them big adieu to House, Paschal, Forrest, and Whiteside. It potentially gets them below the tax. These are crumbs moves but if they are replaced by minimum wage guys, it saves the owner big denaros. That's why we are here?

I dont think you know how this works… there is no savings in letting minimum guys walk. Juan will be waived and hopefully re-signed at the minimum.he’s not a 7M player so that is 100% the right call.
 
Interesting but not sure how connected this guy is. Sounds like he repeats what he gets from hoopshype

I think they're the local ESPN Radio Affiliate in Charlotte, like Spence Checketts in Salt Lake City (ESPN700). The radio guest is some kind of reporter for SI.

He's saying that CHA is hard-pressed to move Gordon Hayward in order to free up money to sign Miles Bridges to a big deal, and he thinks CHA will move their draft picks, PJ Washington and Hayward. He also thinks Mike D'Antoni is the front-runner for the head coaching job, though they're still interviewing Darvin Ham. I think the Jazz would need added incentive to take Hayward's deal, or there would need to be a 3rd team involved.

I know what he’s saying… not sure he’s connected or if he’s reading the same **** we all do. Does he have “sauces”
 

Dug this up from a few years back.

This was the off-season before Randle had the breakout year. Then he got the fat extension and proceeded to suck *** this past year.

Now he's on a pretty expensive 4 year deal where the final year is a player option.

Would the Jazz trade Conley for Randle if the Knicks added in extras?

What would those extras have to be for you to want the deal, and what would the Knicks being willing to give up to get off that Randle contract?

Randle's contract is going to be very hard to move in its first 2 years. At least with Westbrook, he's expiring after this season. I don't see the Jazz lining up to take Randle's contract at this point.
 
Why would they have to move it?

You can tank with Randle.
At some point you’d want to move it. I listened to that Knicks pod a couple times… they seem to think he’s still slightly positive in trade value. I’d argue otherwise but they might not be so desperate that they give a premium yet. He’s a year removed from his good year which was almost surely a fluke due to good shooting… in empty arenas. What happens if he starts the year off poorly and is still a problem… the opposite could be true but I’d want at least the #11 in a Randle for Conley swap. I expect him to be the 30% three point shooter again and be generally a huge minus.

You could get him… start the tank… and when there is no pressure he starts to play better and then you flip him. The OKC model is what we should try for… grab extra picks when value starts to go up on these types of guys.
 
Alright... so Miami has a situation with the tax brewing and Duncan Robinson's contract is going to be garbage... especially if they just continue to bench him. They generally do not pay the tax and Herro is due an extension after next season.

Would they do their #28 pick this year, Duncan, and either Max or Gabe for Bogey. I'd like to work a pick swap in there too if possible... especially if we are getting Gabe.

The hope is Duncan is a rotation player again and I really don't care too much about cap space beyond next year as I think we are offloading both Rudy and Donovan and you only need a little cap space to take on salary dumps. His deal runs really long and the cap environment has a chance of changing quite a bit so it may not look as bad in 2-3 years even if he struggles.

Bojan to Charlotte
Hayward, Rudy Gay and Charlotte's two 2022 1sts to Indiana
Brogdon and PJ Washington to Utah

Charlotte dumps Hayward, saves money, gets a solid player in return.
Indiana has the cap space to take on two useful players. The two picks are big for them.
Utah gets Brogdon to pair with Donovan, and a good young player in PJ Washington.
 
So Charlottes is going to essentially trade 3 first round picks just to get off Hayward's contract (which isnt that bad or long) just to get a 1 year rental of a guy who isnt close to their timeline in terms of age?

That make no sense. They get worse in the short and long-term.
