Lakers-Jazz Trade

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.
I mean, even if Beasley's value rockets up, is he going to net an incredibly valuable unprotected 1st? Eyes on the prize.

If the Lakers just won't give the best offer for the Jazz's best offer then that is probably just that. But that is exactly what the Jazz should be shooting for with all of their loose-ends vets.

Just so you know... I'm 100% with you and would go further than everyone I think. I'd do Bogey/Malik/Vando/JC/Mike (I know it isn't legal) to get both. Just saying if they say both picks aren't on the table we might prefer to keep Malik.

Right, sure. He and Conley could rehab value really quickly and net something decent (or good) mid-season.

My guess is the deal becomes Westbrook and Nunn plus 1 first and a couple seconds for Bogey, JC, Beasley, Gay. We waive both guys and clear the roster glut in one move.

Something to think about here is dumping NAW into someone's space or TPE since he might still have just a little bit of shine on him in case sending ~5 million extra to the Jazz is seen as a priority for the Lakers.

I do think Bogey, Beasley, Vando, JC for Westbrook and Nunn lines up pretty well.

Another weird idea... could the Jazz send lesser swap rights from one of the '26 picks to LA?
 
I just want to get this trade done before I lose cell reception for three days this weekend.

This one for sure won't happen until the Wolves players can be aggregated, so you (and I) shouldn't worry about it.
 
@andylarsen @Tony Jones

Do you know if the Jazz could send swap rights from one of Cleveland or Minnesota's picks in '26 in a trade? Is there anything special about the swap they got from Cleveland in '26 (because of the swap already owed by Minnesota)?

I think a deal could be announced today. We are in the right timeframe now. Getting it done now instead waiting over Labor Day weekend. Its weird but I think it could be pushed through because of that.
 
you need to change the title of this... makes one think a trade happened....
If you believe in down payment theory it kind of already has.
