I still want another ‘24 pick. I would really prefer to frontload this rebuild than continue to backload it.
I think you may be right. I think crowder wants out based on the smoke coming from Phoenix. My reasons for hope was John Gambadoro in Phoenix mentioned one first may not be enough for Bogey… so maybe expiring plus a first is good enough… depends on how they value shamet and Dario. My guess is they’d prefer to send Shamet. I’m fine taking Shamet and maybe we can add Gay and Craig to the deal. I don’t care much about grabbing some extra seconds but I’d do Bogey for Crowder Shamet and a 24 first… plus some seconds in like 27/28/29. Crowder would get rerouted for seconds or maybe a first if we took on ****** salary or added some other players… I think we need to prune the roster a bit this week. Can wait to move JC and Mike.
Kind of hard at this point given nearly everyone has a full roster. Jazz will likely be waiving at least one player.
The size of the contracts we are trading will almost sure require 1 for 2 type deals.
Right now they have to cut at least two
Absolute heist
Because he's a really good player for a contender who needs shooting/defense without any added usage.
Contract size and length helped too. It was still a great deal because we got a late first while taking back zero salary. I would have expected Royce to get a first but would require us taking back some salary to do it.
I laughed when the FO was putting out that they were seeking first rounders for NAW and Royce. Joke was on me. But I'll also use this as a venting point that we could have probably shuffled some things with the roster and used that pick and still given another run under a different coach.
