Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

The Vuc and Sabonis deals are also different because they happened in season and the teams trading them were going into full rebuild mode.

How many of them have 4 yr/$170M left on their contracts? Big men usually start to decline around 30 and Rudy will be 30 this week.

The Pacers received Tyrese Halliburton, Buddy Hield, and Tristian Thompson.
The Magic received Wendell Carter, Otto Porter, and 2 1st round picks

Porter/Thompson were just filler and it doesn't look like Buddy is in the Pacers plans. So the Pacers really just made the deal for Halliburton and salary relief and the Magic received Wendell and 2 1st round picks.

One of those picks from the Bulls to the Magic was the #8 pick last summer, which turned out to be Franz Wagner. If the Jazz got a haul like Wendell Carter Jr., Franz Wagner, OPJ and another FRP, that would be fine.

If I'm the Jazz, I want a lottery pick coming back one way or another.

It's also important to note that when the Bulls traded for Vuc they only had to match $28M in salary and he had 3 yr/$72M left on his deal. The Kings had to match $18.5M and Sabonis had 2 yr/$38M left on his deal.

Anyone trading for Rudy has to match $38M (13th highest) and he has 4 yr/$170M left on his deal including $43.8M and $46.6M when he's 33/34. It could easily be the worst contract in the NBA in a couple of seasons.

The Bulls were desperate to convince Lavine to stick around and the Kings are just poorly ran. In both cases though making those moves didn't limit their roster flexibility that much. If you trade for Rudy he has to be the centerpiece of your team for at least the next 4 seasons.
 
If Philly is desperate enough, we should use our exception from the Ingles trade to take Thybulle AND Korkmaz. I know that's adding to our luxury bill, but both guys would add quality depth.

Philly's sending mixed signals because they're reportedly interested in Eric Gordon too.
