Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

All the more reason to be bad next year as well. That will be an extra deep draft at the top.
Back in the HS days you could find some steals late too... so snag some good seconds and another first if you can. I think Suns would do Crowder/Shamet 24 frp for Bogey... we can likely shift Crowder into someone's tpe. There aren't a lot of gettable 2024 picks... I might prioritize getting another 24 pick over a far out LA one. Suns, Grizz, Raps are best obvious candidates to send out a 24 first.

If the double draft gets moved to 2025 we have 3 picks already.
 
Not a trade rumor per se... but NBA is considering the draft age limit change in the next CBA... could hit in 2024. Lets execute the Bogey trade for a 2024 Suns pick... need to have a couple picks in the "double draft".
It's crazy so many teams have already traded their '24 pick or owe '23 picks so can't deal their '24 pick. OKC and a few other rebuilding teams own so many future draft picks.
Toronto and Phoenix are the 2 non-tanking teams that still actually own their FRP in '24.

Grizz have their own pick and GS pick in 2024. So I'd add them to the list.

The flip side is that every time you draft a HS kid, you think you’ve got a superstar in the making. Name the last HS player drafted who didn’t have a sizable spin from somewhere on that.

It adds variance and depth... you may not take a HS kid but you might have a guy get pushed down 4-5 spots because other teams took that chance. You might get Kobe or TMac later in the lotto and find something... or you might get Rashard Lewis or Josh Smith... you also may land Deshawn Stevenson or some other guy that is too immature... but more talent in the draft and essentially the best of the best from two recruiting classes landing in one draft will increase the amount of choices and talent to pick from. You still have to choose wisely.

I think there will also be an adjustment when this happens where teams have to catch up a little bit on the appropriate way to evaluate these kids vs. kids in college. Not sure if teams will be dying to draft these guys and they get over-valued or if they get passed up as teams see them as too risky. I just know in the double draft I want a couple picks regardless of if we take a HS kid.
 
The Bulls got excellent PG depth, maybe the best in the NBA.

They got Caruso, Donsume, and Dragic to replace Ball until he gets healthy.

They have some of the worst center depth. Their backups are Drummond and Tony Bradley.

Why in the hell would they give up a first and commit to Andre DRummond as a starter just to get Mike Conley?
 
Someone explain the Bulls giving up the better player and a 1st round pick to get a 35 year old PG on an overpaid deal?
They also don't have a pick of their own to give. They have Porty's pick that is lotto protected.
 
Y'all just got to accept the fact that Mike Conley is going to be on the Jazz for another year. (Also given Locke's tone today about Conley, he isnt getting moved)

His contract is just too big currently at his age given how he nosedived the playoffs unless the Jazz want to give up something to get off him, which I would assume they dont.

If Mike plays well this year you might be able to trade him when he is in his expiration year.
