Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[Tremendous Upside]

Been reading about that Athletic article in Hawks boards.... man they are screwed.

Oldest guy in their braintrust or in a key FO role is 37. The whole show is being ran by Nick Ressler, 27, who hasnt played basketball, coached any sport or even worked as a manager of any kind.

Nick Ressler even pulled the trigger on DJM. Travis Schlenk, the appointed GM at that time, who has since stepped down, objected to the trade due to price and cap flexibility but was overruled. Imagine working in the NBA since 2004 and being overruled on something you have authority in by a guy whose credentials are that his dad has lots of money.

What a dumpster fire.

Now its time to steal some lollipops from that peewee league management group.

Yeah. Now we just need an actual reason to bring in Murray and Collins. You know, the overdribbling non-shooter and the malcontent who's been on the block for like two years.

I don't think "But but but they're available!!!" qualifies.

I'd love to have one of their picks to root against them... that ship gonna sink super fast.

Dudes born on 3rd that really have a say in operations don't come along often.

Stop making these troll posts. You show such lack of intelligence typing stuff like that. Ive shared my reasons.

Either disagree respectfully or shut up.

Wasn't aimed at you and I wouldn't take it so seriously anyway. The fact is that these dudes are highly polarizing as players, I don't see any kumbaya moments in the horizon as far as trading for them.

Personally, I think it would be a terrible mistake. You may think that's idiotic... fine. I'm not mad.

all they need to do is trade one of Trae or Murray for some picks a true sg and then use the picks to unload Collins. Then they can go back to being a team with no drama

Jazz are in an awful lot of rumors, probably more than any other team in the league. Beasley, Vanderbilt, Olynyk, Clarkson, even Sexton being mentioned.

Much better way to put it. And for the record, I dont think your opinion is idiotic.. but the way you presented it was.

I havent really entertained the idea of DJM so I'm not into buyng unless its a best buy 50% discount thing and we can just showcase and flip him.

I do like Collins. But I'm also aware I might be wrong about him. Wouldnt be the first mistake I ever made.

Yeah we opened the shop first and listed our untouchables.. so now the rest of the NBA started touching all the others.

Slow markets and no certainty of who the other sellers will be might drive prices up.

My main problem with Murray is that he's a bad shooter. Seeing as we've probably going to be starting a guy in the middle who simply won't/can't shoot, the other four simply have to be able to space the floor.

When you add Collins who also isn't that good of a good shooter... I don't like that lineup. It smells like corner duty for Lauri once again, and we don't want that.

Jazz were rumored to be interested in John Collins last summer. First, it was a Rudy Gobert rumor, then it was a Bojan rumor. The Jazz must have some level of interest in Collins.

If the market is frozen there's an advantage to being a team that is willing to move most it's players. I don't care if we get players that fit badly. It was a three year plan anyway. Just add value and get the players that have value and that you've had an eye on which sounds like Collins. I trust Ainge just let Ainge, Ainge around.

As I said.. Murray is not a building block in my mind. Havent focused on him as I'm more interested in a PG who can feed the versatility of Lauri.

My pipe dream is Lauri, Collins and Tyrese (the best lob passer Ive seen in a while) as the three 20 point guys. Just gotta find another Tyrese.

I also think Collins shooting will come around after he gets out of that circus and can focus on basketball again.
