Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Do you mean what other choices do we have than acquiring wings (rebuilding?) through the draft?

Yeah. If we're getting quality 2-way wings, it's very likely through the draft. Now we could get lucky and get them without tanking. But we all know what the odds are.

Do you guys realize how ****ing bad we would be lol. Any guy we draft we’d be lucky to get the same amount of production as Mitchell gives us.

We will be in the lottery for 4-5 years minimum if that happened.

Jazz don't have a foundational player to build with. There's no choice but to dip into the lottery and make multiple draft picks.

And we’ll be there in 1 or 2 years anyway without Mitchell but have to endure more endless Mitchell rumors and abject mediocrity at “best” (actually worst IMO).

The biggest mistake this franchise made in the last ~10 years was not having the guts to tank after Deron left. Remember all of the fun of the Jefferson years? That’s what this feels like to me, except we don’t have any other promising players in the pipeline which creates an even stronger argument to getting on with the split.

Yes, you don’t have to super tank for years on end but super tanking for 2023 should still be way the hell on.

Yes… I mean if you tank 1-2 years you don’t have to offload every good player or bench SGA or do those things for 3-4 years… you can let it progress a bit. You need luck and you have to hit on the picks but it can be quick like Memphis instead of tanking for eternity.

I think there is still hope from many fans and the jazz organization that Donovan is a foundation player to build with. Im on the fence on that one. At one time I was certain he was, now im less certain but still think he might could be.

OKC literally has Shai, Giddey and just had picks 2/11/12 in the most recent draft and they are literally going to be **** again. We can only hope to be close to what they are now in 3-4 years if we trade Mitchell for picks.

Houston is moving right along. They've got Jalen Green, Jabari Smith, Tari Eason and that Sengun guy all in the last 2 drafts. Then they've got more picks coming from Brooklyn.

They are going to be **** again this year too lol. My entire point is they are still 2-3 years out from competing and they got two top-3 picks in back to back drafts.

He's not good enough to build a championship contender around, as we've just seen, and he's probably going to ask out in the next 2 years if he hasn't already.

He hasn’t exactly had the best supporting cast built around him and I wouldn’t even say they really built around him. Even then we were a game or two away from the WCF.
