Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

One team to watch might be OKC. They are getting to a point where they need someone to pair with SGA and need to start consolidating or cashing in picks.

No the only thing that matters in this league are stars and RJ is the only player on the Knicks that even has a shot at stardom.

I'd be hoping to draft a star and less worried about getting a guy with star potential. If leaving RJ out of the deal has the effect that leaving McDaniels out did then I prefer that route. We got a lot of extra stuff because Minny said McDaniels was untouhable.

the next best thing after legitimately contending is hope. all these garbage teams with good young players have hope. those teams drafting in the 13-22 range - eff that.

I get both sides. I just think in today's NBA you kind of have to reset every 8 years or so unless you have a top 10 guy who is very committed to your franchise. Obviously I dont think Don is that guy, so I want the rebuild, but if you squint your eyes hard enough you can probably convince yourself.

I get it though. Stockton/Malone were largely a treadmill team until they got to the Finals later in their careers. Same with Dirk/Mavs. So there is precedent for having a talented player, having high hopes early in their careers, failing, then rebuilding around them. It doesnt have to be a constant upward trajectory that you hit the eject button at a few years of stagnation/decline.
 
So what about this construction... Don to Miami, Conley (or Bev), Herro, Robinson to LA, Westbrook, Jovic, and Yurtseven to Utah with 3 Miami FRPs and 3 picks swaps, LA sends 27/29 FRPs unprotected and a swap in 28 (we can swap either our pick, Miami's, or Minny's).

Westbrook is waived. We have infinity cap space next year and get 5 firsts and 4 pick swaps with a couple decent prospects. We can then do other deals with Bev, Bogey, JC that allow us to take on some salary to get better prospects/draft capital.

This is what I first thought of when I heard we were interested in Sexton.

Here is the actual quote from Jake:


Utah has explored a sign-and-trade scenario that would send veteran point guard Mike Conley to Cleveland in exchange for restricted free agent Collin Sexton, sources said. The Cavaliers wouldn't appear to have a need for an additional point guard, and it seems unlikely that Conley would be the returning player Cleveland would prioritize if talks ever gained legitimate traction.

This is still very strange to me. I get why Cleveland doesnt want him, they have Garland. Sexton doesnt really make sense next to Garland long term.

But no one seems to be very interested. I certainly dont like him that much, but if we got him I would probably start a "Collin Will be Better than Don" thread.

Would he simply be like 15-18 millions per year, Conley's contract, and one of the late first rounders we own? Is that possible under sign and trade? What would his contract have to come out to to be included in a S&T for Conley?

I think we could snag him for Bogey or JC maybe... its tricky because a move like that pushes them into the tax... so they might need to do some cleaning of the books with a Sexton deal.

When Anfernee Simons out here getting 100M for a couple good months of play in a complete garbage time scenario you'd think Sexton would have something in the $15M range right?
 
I would do a Sexton for Conley swap easily simply because of the salary relief, but I don't get why CLE would want to do that. As a player, I think Sexton is too small and can't shoot for ****.
