Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[nateboz]

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).

Just becomes difficult when you’re trying to move 2 guys on max deals in a single trade

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.

Can Simmons play center?

(Simmons, Beverley, and Vanderbilt).

We thought the spacing was bad before...

Sounds like the perfect roster for a tank.

imo, he should play center - that's where he can help a team the most. he can defend 90% of the centers in the league and he can run the floor and make plays in transition better than all of them.

So Don is going to motivate him to play defense? Hmmm… seems unlikely.

If Conley isn’t getting moved, it has to be that his contract is seen as negative value that we’d have to attach picks to. Better to rehab his value and flip him to a contender at the deadline if that is the case.

If that’s the case, then it might make sense to trade Jordan Clarkson now on his contract and get an asset, and then move Conley into Clarkson’s 6th man role.

Then let's try that. Good defender, limited offensively. That sounds familiar. But he is more switchable and better passer and can score over smaller players. Then use Vanderbilt as your backup big. And if we need muscle then we have Dok or Kessler.

Too bad teams can't have two players on their Designated Rookie Extensions.

Phoenix has lots of expiring or short salary to do a Ben addition into the trade. If they move Ayton to Toronto for Trent Jr. and a first they have even more. Take Ben and keep Cam Johnson. Pray Ben isn't broken. If CP can setup rolling bigs imagine what he can do for Ben with KD and Book flanking him. He may just be broken though.

ah that would make sense. just noticed a ton of draft prospect posts from that dude, and immediately thought it was pgab - but catchall was a big draft guy too, iirc.

The term you're looking for is 'obsessive-compulsive.' That includes draft stuff.
