Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Its Conley straight up or no deal. If they say yes I'm scared they know more about this and scammed me. It helps the tank though so there is that.
I think Conley wants to stay in Utah due to family. Just reading through the tea leaves. He pretty much said so as well. We need a mentor for young guys. Conley is a good person to have in the locker room. I would prefer JC and Gay for a gamble on Balls plus compensation for his not playing all this year in the form of a pick.

I'd just really like to move one of them. I might prefer it being JC for the reasons you stated and the fact he is a terrible fit with Sexton. I'd like to utilize Mike off the bench to limit his minutes and put Sexton at the pg most of the time. For Collin to be a good winning player he needs to be a pg or next to a unicorn guard like Haliburton or healthy Lonzo.

We won't get a pick and I doubt either team would really do it at this point. Bulls probably want to see what happens with this surgery first.
 
Would you do It If It was Beasley straight up ?
No. Which might seem wild... I'm not crazy high on Beasley long term but he could have a good first half of the season and I could see his trade value getting fairly high. His contract has some upside because of the team option... and it has no downside like JC and Mike's could.

That's why I said if they send stuff. Beasley is a hinge piece that might really be worth keeping for this build or trade for pieces that might.

Conley and Beasley for Ball, Ayo, Vuc? IDK, just spitballing.
 
Zach Lowe went through Jae Crowder deals... not a lot out there. He did say that he would be shocked if they added salary in the deal with all they have going on. Did lead me to think they'd entertain some sort of Gay/Jae three way where they can take less salary back... Taking back 3-4M less this year results in like 12M+ in total savings.

They obviously would prefer the salary coming back be expiring, but that could be the new owners problem.

I doubt they are moving Ayo at all... I don't know that they would attach a pick to move him this year. I think straight up is likely fair... but receiving Ball is a high risk proposition and I am not sure even if it works out if we are in a position to benefit from the potential big reward.
