Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

whatthe said:
Which one helps Atlanta land Lavine? If there is a trade that helps them get Lavine, then they would be more eager to give things up.

Lavine can get 5 years $213 with Chicago or 4 years $157 outside of Chicago.

If Lavine gets sign and traded to Atlanta, I would imagine that Chicago would want some of the pieces we want from Atlanta for Rudy. Pieces like Collins, Hunter and/or Huerter, picks, etc.

I really don't know the sign and trade rules well enough to know how a three way would work in that scenario.
 
Locke was ******** on the idea of getting Capela in the deal with Atlanta. While I agree he is overpaid... it ain't by much and we will need at least one reliable center. He's probably a 12-15M player but paid like 20+. Says we'd go cheap instead... but there is really not a lot of benefit and we don't have a lot of tools to go get a cheap center. You could grab Hartenstein for the taxpayer MLE but that is dicey as hell. I'd rather overpay 5-6M a year or so for a reliable option like Capela than use MLE or Taxpayer MLE on a guy you hope can play 30 minutes a game and might be significantly worse.

I just find it weird that Locke can say he's a poor man's Rudy in one minute and then talk about how he's overpaid.... then he talks about if we are trading Rudy we need XYZ and its just kind of a weird disconnect imo.
 
I don't see teams going cheap on center being all that successful. GS has Looney but Dray also plays a lot there. They also have a lot of wings and Steph so its different. Clips have Zubac who is underpaid and very good and hit on Hartenstein and then have a huge collection of big wings.

Charlotte, Toronto, Portland, have all struggled with more budget type options. I don't see it as some moneyball panacea. Capela makes a lot of sense imo. He makes a reasonable salary which mean you can add a shooting 5 or something different to him and you aren't overpaying for one position. His on/off splits are always good... even last year when he struggled.

If we can get something out of Capela in a trade, I'm all for it. If we can clear enough salary to be able to use our full MLE I wouldn't mind taking a chance on Nurkic instead. If you have to go very cheap, bring back Hassan.

If Capela plays like he did last season, it's questionable if he's a starter. His FT shooting and finishing around the basket have fallen off where he's a sub par roll man and while the defense wasn't his fault, he's not a defensive anchor that's producing results.

I don't ultimately care how much "winning' value the Jazz get out of their C position if Rudy is gone. We're not winning anyways. If the FO would rather go cheap, I'm am incredibly in favor of that option if Capela can be dealt elsewhere.

I don't see us being successful with Capela....and simply getting paid more does make Capela better. I think if Capela was a FA today he'd be close to the "cheap" zone anyways. Probably a full MLE guy.

I don't think we would be successful at his current price. If he came to us at $10, he'd probably be a deal. With our luxury numbers, his number just really hurts especially if we're trying to extend Hunter soon.

The problem is.... who wants Capela if Charlotte gets Turner? Chicago maybe? Phoenix maybe if they lose Ayton?

I don't think anyone really wants Capela right now, at least the shouldn't. If he was a FA today, his contract might be 50% of what it is. That's why I'm looking at Capela as a negative that should bring us back more value from ATL. He's definitely not a Rudy replacement. Tricking yourself into thinking we can do the same things with Capela is a mistake.

I agree.. Capela isn’t that overpaid. That’s the biggest problem with not taking him back is for one Atlanta would have to deal him somewhere else and they aren’t going to be too thrilled to do that.

Plus we are bare at center if we don’t take him back as well. I am super curious why Locke was ******** on him though. He is what is he at this point he’s not a bum by any means.

If we trade Rudy the goal is going to be to win. Why would we trade him for the sake of trading him if we weren’t going to try and win.
