Mitchell Will be Traded Today (9/1/22)

Most likely outcome to me is that Mitchell is traded. If I had to bet, it would be Miami, but I would prefer it to be NYK with their picks and young players. I also think BKN is still very much in play despite Simmons/Mitchell rule complications. I think Conley ends up in BKN in the aftermath of a Kyrie trade.

I don't hate a barebones version of the Jazz with Mitchell and Ayton. If we end up with Ayton, we will get him at a value that is way less than what we could trade him for if things don't work and/or Mitchell demands out anyways. I think the motivation to get Ayton goes down if Mitchell is not playing, but I still think I'd trade for him if all it took was Bogey and a bad first or two.

I think we are a helpful partner in any Kyrie or KD trade. I've thought what if we routed Bogey to LA with Kyrie so that Brooklyn can get both Lakers picks they can trade (that is the holdup right)... we could take Westbrook (maybe THT) to save them some money... Conley goes to Brooklyn sprinkle in another contract or two to make it all work. Ayton comes our way (then we'd maybe send JC to Phoenix?) we get Ayton for JC, Bogey, Conley (or Bev or Vandy in there) and we don't really touch any of our draft assets. Grease the wheels for all involved and work it that way... its a lot of salary so I haven't figured out exactly how it all works, but like there is stuff there... then all the pundits look back at it like the Jarret Allen trade to Cleveland and they are like "how the hell did the Jazz come out of that with Ayton again".

We have all these good useful players on decent range of contract sizes and TPEs and such we can use to make it work. I would almost bet we are involved as a fourth or fifth team in some capacity even if it isn't that big.
 
Also I do think Heat do "something" as once they sign Herro they can't trade him... they might risk going into the season with him as a pending FA. I just think it gets harder for them to do a big move after this offseason.

We can save Brooklyn around 21M in salary by taking Westbrook back assuming they do a Durant deal with Phoenix.

Yes, the Jazz need to be looking into trading Bogey, Conley, Beverley, and JC in any scenario. When it comes to Ayton, I really hope we don't let something like the 25th pick in the draft prevent us from taking a chance on him.
 
Jovic drops 25 in summer league... will the prophesy of Cy be fulfilled. If he has an awesome summer league then adds the extra hype to the Heat package maybe?

Ja Morant, NBA Super-Star and definitely a dude who could be partying with celebrities, is with his team supporting the young dudes in SLC.

Donovan Mitchell is not.

Because he's being traded, right? Why harp on him when "you" know he's being shipped out based on your vision.

Yes, because he's being traded within the next 90 minutes. That's what I'm saying. Dont you get the theme of the thread? IF I wanted to harp on Mitchell I would make a thread about that thing and it would do numbers.

I think I read somewhere that there is bad blood between DA and Riley. Anybody else see that? It would make sense,

iirc a big wedge was when Allen left the Celtics after winning a title to go to Miami, only to win there too.
