Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[Jingled]

I don't think a deal between the Jazz and Hawks will get done. I don't think the Jazz will pull the trigger unless Hunter is included, and I doubt Atlanta will part with him.

What if it gets to Capela, Collins, Huerter, #16 ?

That would definitely be tempting. I still think the jazz would turn it down. I think Hunter is the piece Ainge really wants and I don't think he will budge unless he gets him.

#16 keeps being thrown in there… I wonder if they aren’t planning to combine it with an existing player to make a change somewhere else.

Otherwise wouldn’t they be working out at least a couple of players likely to be drafted in that range?

For all we know one of Pinhead (who I haven't seen in years honestly) or MTSteve is another Cy alt.

Cy gathered yall up against me for years. Wouldn't be shocked.

I think Ainge is set on Hunter

I had to share this. This guy cracks me up.

The Jazz should look to pry away one or a combination of the following from Orlando:

Isaac
Bamba
Fultz

I think a change of scenery is all they need, and some injury luck. Not sure how the Jazz get it done, but might be a buy low/lower scenario. If healthy, Isaac is a serious talent.

Adding Isaac is something we honestly probably could pull off if we expressed interest in him. When they take Jabari #1 he'll kind of be the odd man out and I know he had some issues with the organization off the court. IIRC Bamba is a restricted free agent.

I don't understand why Houston got so little for Christian Wood.

Woods numbers have always been volume stats on terrible teams and he's on an expiring contract

 

[YoungJefe]

My guess is they know they’re drafting a big and Wood isn’t on their timeline. It also feels like they made the first trade they could the second they decided they should.

I wonder if passing on Mobley has anything to do with this.

Yeah they definitely know that they're taking whichever one of Chet, Jabari, or Banchero falls to them at #3. They said that moved Wood with that in mind and so that they could get Sengun more minutes next season.

I doubt it, they seem to be high on Sengun and will get a big in the top 3 this draft cycle.

Besides Conley.. what does building around Don look like? A defensive center who doesn’t require touches? Spot up shooters to spread the floor? What exactly is this magic build that Don deserves?

I think the biggest thing is moving Don onto the ball and allowing him to play PG so he's not extremely undersized on defense. Adding a big wing that can score and create their own offense without being a total defensive liability would be my next step.

- They're much less likely to be able to extract value out of Royce/Bogey the longer they wait to trade them.

Bogey is on an expiring deal
