Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

It would be Poeltl and Richardson. Maybe throw in Zach Collins. They would save a **** ton of money.

I don't think they give two picks for that package and its on par with Bogey, Beasley, JC... though Poeltl is a +/- god so maybe some would view it as better.

Lebron didn’t just extend for the ownership to save a bunch of money.

Bogey/Conley/Vando is only a 459K difference in salary but I don’t think they want Conley’s salary next year. Maybe they do we will see.

I think Conley might be in the package if this bull **** goes into the season (and Bogey’s gone) but I see no way he’s in discussions right now.

I agree but Poeltl and Richardson would make them much better than Russ... so you sell it as a basketball move that creates "flexibility".

I'm just saying there are other potential teams out there... I think we are the best match... but they also might elect to keep Russ and the picks (it seems nuts but maybe they dumb enough to do it).

I don't want to make the same mistake Knicks fans made.

Sure. If it’s for one pick maybe that’s better than what we’ll send and ask for.

But ain’t no way that team is even a pretender. I wouldn’t burn a pick for that.

Last thing: the difference between the situations is that the Jazz wouldn’t be low-balling the Lakers. It can be a simple ‘what I got for what you got’ trade. The other thing is this is post Danny nuking the Knicks by saying “I meant what I said.”

This is probably all a debate on the margins: protected AT ALL vs not, Vando, **** like that. Would be an incredible loss of value for all parties to be miserly.

Or that they don’t want salary on the books the next year, or that their particular package isn’t worth 2 firsts (it isn’t). Or that the Pacers just gave up too soon and created an even stronger position for the Jazz.

The Pacers have the best available package.

It could be the salary thing, but it still means the same thing: two picks from the Lakers is not happening.

And McDermott/Collins.

If Collins is healthy he is pretty good.

McDermott would fit well as a shooter. He is on the books next year though, so maybe not what the Lakers want.

I don’t think they can honestly build a contender right now. Poeltl is one of the most underrated guys in the league so he’d make a big difference for them.
