Lakers-Jazz Trade

[NUMBERICA]

I have seen so many Knick fans and podcasters that think they will get picks for Randle and Rose in a Westbrook deal… and if we only settle for 1 pick to block these mfers I am totally good… destroy they soul.

I know when I watch bad basketball players with one of the worst contracts in the NBA, I often think “I am sure a team will send an extremely valuable unprotected draft pick for them.”

Really wish the Jazz dumped Gay in the Cavs deal. His salary is now a real problem.

Anyone out there that wants some seconds and Jared Butler to take him on?

We are not going to flip Westbrook we are going to buy him out.

Bogey is all but guaranteed to be included. Likely Beasley and maybe Clarkson as well.

We should keep him. Tank commander. And it will be fun to see his reactions when he has to cater to all the white backwoods racist fans in the city of Utahr.

I’m pretty sure we’re still out of seconds. I’ve been surprised we haven’t tried to pick a few up in any of these deals.

Jazz actually have four of them IIRC (that are tradable/in the next seven years).

Man it would be hilarious if Danny/JZ trade like half the roster in a 24 hour period and then goes to Mexico or some **** for Labor Day.

My proposed trade with the Lakers:
Bogey + Conley + Beasley + Vando + The Brooklyn Pick > Westbrook + Nunn + 27 unprotected + (Maybe the '28 swap - we are giving them alot) + 29 unprotected + 2 x 2nd round picks (if we can't get the 29 then 4 2nd picks and drop the Brooklyn pick)

Then in season trade Jordan Clarkson to a contender and trade Nunn at the deadline for another pick.

I don’t like giving up Vando and a first in next year’s draft. It’d have to be Vando OR a FRP. I really don’t want to trade either.

But yes, a 3-for-1 with the Lakers seems close to inevitable.

Are there any scenarios with Bogey/Conley/Gay that would work for one of the Lakers FRP picks + 1-2 seconds?

I’d rather use Clarkson or Beasley to get a pick in the ‘24 draft.

A pick in the '23 looks great, even the Brooklyn pick, but...that '29 Laker pick could be a top 5 pick. So I don't know. I tend to put packages together where we give up too much, but I know that the Lakers would love that trade. I would really want those 27/29 picks. I would just do a 5 year stretch for Gay. The salary cap will jump up soon and we are going to have lots of salary space soon. I would rather keep getting value from trades.

We are fine. Worst case you roster him and leave him home. We can trade Stanley Johnson into someone's space or a min trade exception... the other balls have to drop here. No need to give anything up to make it work.

My guess is he'd take a buyout and give back like 2M to pick his next destination. We will still duck the tax and have infinity cap space next year for what we need to do.

There is an absolute set of constraints on the deal now, though, with the Jazz being right against the tax and not far from the apron.

I don’t think getting the whole bag from the Lakers is a sure thing and so being shorter on assets is maybe a big deal.

I think we end up doing a deal for one pick... not both. Maybe one swap. I think Turner Hield might be worth 2 picks but not sure Bogey and JC is. Beasely may be in it too but I think he's a guy I'd work to keep as I could see his value rocketing up or us keeping him cuz he's young.
