Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

If the Jazz took Capela, Collins and extra from the Hawks, they may be able to re-route Capela to the T'wolves, while D'lo Russell gets moved.
 
I think they saved like $3M swapping Gallo for Murray though. You don't leverage your future draft capital unless you want to go all in, imo.
Maybe so... Gallo was on $5M guaranteed and would have been waived... so they added like 12M really. Maybe they throw in Hunter now (so they don't have to pay him) and bank on Griffin (probably not).

One thing to note... Hawks GM is like a GS disciple and maybe he has convinced Hawks ownership that you gotta spend like the Warriors to be the Warriors.
 
At the same time, if this is the going rate for someone like Murray who only has 2 years left on his deal, we should be able to demand a king's ransom for Donovan...
 
Jazz receive: Capela, Collins, Huerter, Griffin, 2023 1st
Hawks receive: Rudy, Bojan

This would leave Atlanta with a starting 5 of
Trae - Murray - Hunter - Bojan - Rudy
w/ Bogdanovic, Okongwu, and Johnson off the bench
I don't hate it for either team.
 
Capela is good at basketball and we will still need a center... why would we re-route him?
 
I think the Hawks make another trade now for sure. They have a log jam in the backcourt with Trae, Murray, Bogdanovic, Huerter.
 
Good news is when we tear it all down next year the Spurs will have some extra picks to send us for Donovan. Quin and Don reunite.
 
Richardson, McDermott and Poeltl are likely quite available now. Guessing Jakob goes to Raps for a pick or something. Rich and Doug not that sexy.
