Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Agreed - you don’t want to dump him for nothing and piss off Donovan. Reminds me of us trading Ronnie Brewer for draft picks and pissing off Deron.
I think I would do it in part to see how Don reacts. If that is what pushes him to request out then he would have asked out eventually.
 
The Kings need more wing depth and could absorb Royce's $9.2M without sending salary back. They have the 37th/49th picks

I wouldn't do it for just one of those picks, but if we could get both I would definitely consider it. I'm still hoping maybe someone will offer us a late first for Royce but I know that's likely just wishful thinking.

i could see some contender-ish team like Miami or Dallas going for it (maybe not them but as an example.)
 
One plus to trading Gobert to Chicago would be the super deep playoff run they go on. I feel really confident he could win another DPOY,
and fans and the media would FINALLY stop disrespecting my boy and give him his damn flowers already. No more of the "bUt He CaN't GuArD tHe PeRiMeTeR" malarkey.
 
This type of deal could be really good. It would need to be a pick at least in the 30s. If you pull Royce's salary off the books completely and add a second rounder with their minimum it saves like $8M and allows some room to work. Sign House to a minimum and give him Royce's minutes and I'm not sure you are that much worse. Get a flier on an okay prospect.

Another deal would be Royce for Danny Green and #23. Danny likely misses the entire season next year. I think they would have to guarantee his $10M next year... but you could waive and stretch it and end up saving $4M when you account for the rookie salary.
Waiving Hernagomez and trading Royce would bring us to almost $10M under the luxury tax before we make the 2nd round pick or sign anyone else.
 
Trading Rudy means they're not trying to win now, I think, but in a couple years when Mitchell hits his peak. it's a logical move imho
That would be an even worse move, though, because we’re planning on a timeline that wouldn’t include Donovan but would build as if it did.

logical but not most logical, i see the sense behind it. load up a bunch of younger guys by moving rudy/bojan/conley, give them a couple years to gel, wait to sign vets, then make a run.
It worked for Dallas and especially Memphis.

Any Rudy deal gets tricky because we'd realistically be trading away one starter for at least two so we'd have to retool the roster entirely.

This actually makes sense to me. We want Williams... it really makes sense for them to put Williams in the deal. So now we make them do some work to flip Vuc and White into draft capital... because they don't make a ton of sense on our roster.

Williams, #18, the future first the own from Portland (its not great with the protections), and whatever they can get for Vuc/White... but better get something decent.
