Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

YoungJefe said:
No new updates on the Utah front as far as conversations with their management all things stay as is. Although there are rumblings that Donovan has requested a meeting this week with the front office to discuss the team and its future outlook, we don't know when this meeting will take place, but the league will surely know Donovan's mindset of where he stands in the future of the Jazz by end of the week.

Brooklyn, things are cooking as something happened yesterday which has completely changed Brooklyn's front office approach. They are way more involved as of this morning, with new conversations now starting to brew across other teams of them trying to offload Ben Simmons. Its seems Miami has made it known they cannot find a team willing to take Ben on as a third team without wanting picks. If they resolve the Ben situation internally then Miami can move Bam to them as that is their top choice.

Brooklyn is now involved personally in trying to fix that problem as previously their expectation was the team receiving Durant to do the leg work. The Miami front office feels this could also relax a bit the asking price if Brooklyn gets some assets out of Ben Simons. Also it sounds like Kirie is adamant about the team he wants to go to, and right now Brooklyn wants more flexibility on that end, if they offload Ben & Durant they feel kirie will give in and be willing to go to a contender but at least give them more options. As of now nobody wants to take on a 1 year rental and give assets in return for a player committed to only one franchise.

Miami knows Brooklyn is fighting a war on three fronts, the needs of the Owner, the wants of the players, and the limitations of the teams willing to get them something in return. They know going into the season with this team will be disastrous

I think if I am Brooklyn I am trying to attach Ben to KD in any deal.

Depending on Ben's market, it would likely diminish any return for KD due to pushing a toxic asset (contract plus demeanor). If I'm Brooklyn, I'm moving Ben prior to any deal with KD so I can maximize the return if I could get something for the dude.

Ben's trade market is hard to gauge but according to that dude teams wants picks to take on his contract.

I joined this forum way back when Bledsoe for Millsap was a rumor. And we were so hyped about possibly getting him. Good ol’ PKM was posting what his UK sources were telling him. It was wild.

I guess we’ve come full circle. Now Bledsoe is just a washed up has-been on waivers. Never really hit that potential we all saw back then either.

I’m old.

Honestly what I assumed. Dude could be all the way cooked. Literally no one knows and unknowns always go the way of worst case scenario.

There was that one year in Phoenix with Horny where they almost made the playoffs and Bledsoe was great… past that not so much

At least there he'll be criticized for his play on the court instead of his social life or another player failing.

You really aren't familiar with other markets are you? Bigger markets are brutal.

Imagine if we got Ben Simmons on the cheap then Donovan Mitchell convinced him to come out of hibernation and get back to his best days.

We could go from having the worst perimeter defense in the league to having one of the best perimeter defending teams in recent memory (Simmons, Beverley, and Vanderbilt).

Yeah but its also hard to get full value for KD and need to move Ben to get the guys they want like Donovan or Bam.
