Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

With a new Coach? Play in. That team is worse than last years Wolves.

And to achieve it we’d have to use all of those pretty draft picks we just picked up in the Rudy trade.

We’d also have to offer Ayton a max contract ($30m) for another center that some here swear is a proven death sentence in the nba.

I don't think people understand how hard the West will be.

Clips get Kawhi back and added to their depth.
Denver gets Murray and Porter Jr. back and added a bit of depth.
Phoenix might add Kevin effing Durant.
Minnesota will be a regular season machine with their additions.
Portland gets Dame back... Grant vs. CJ might be more neutral.
NOP might get Zion back (who knows on him) but has CJ and all the young guys will get better too.
Memphis will likely take a step back with the JJJ news and worse depth.
Lakers should get a more healthy year from Lebron and AD and likely adds Kyrie while subtracting Westbrook.
Dallas likely is marginally worse.
GS too.

Sacramento will continue to try and should be a little better

Ayton/DM likely ends up with us fighting with Portland/Sacramento to make the play in... plus one or two other teams that have injury issues.

Its the modern day Al Jefferson move imo. We'd be a .500 team... spin our wheels... lose a pick and not get the high pick we need.
 
Once the moratorium is lifted we may see movement here. It is way too quiet on the Ayton front imo. Indiana could sneak attack Phoenix and make it really tough to get a deal done... would make no sense to leak anything until you can actually put the ink on the paper. San Antonio too.
 
The other consideration on KD and the Nets. They do have some incentive to help him out a bit here. He played nice and signed the long extension... could have waited... could have had the player options... he committed. They let Kyrie and Harden turn that place into a dumpster fire. They might settle for a really good Phoenix deal to play nice. My guess is Phoenix is trying to keep Bridges out of the deal but knows they will give it in the end... Likely no problem giving up their draft assets... Might be waiting for them to find an Ayton destination that will give them something in a sign and trade. My guess is they listen to all the offers but are really just pushing Phoenix for the minor things... Cam Johnson might be another sticking point. Bridges himself is worth like at least 3 firsts... so its like 7 first rounders plus some stuff.

Now with Ky they can eff with that guy and have no problems.

We owe OKC our 2024 pick, but top 10 protected, right? What happens to that pick in 2025 if it isn’t delivered in 2024?

It lowers to like top 8 by 2026 and then it turns into nothing. Personally if you tank the next couple years and give up the 12th or 13th pick in 2025 or 2026 then it means your young talent has you pointed in the right direction and you are fine. If we end up sucking in 25-26 we can easily do the shut it down tank move to end up under the protections.

The 2023 draft is setting up to be a good one... I want a high pick this year.

KNICK fans dont even want to trade Mitchell for Rj Barrett,

They will likely have an issue I am not sure they are aware of... RJ, jalen, Randle are all lefties that like to attack from the right side of the court (i didn't bring it up Nate Duncan did). They might want to get ahead of that a little.
