Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Why would that be a surprise? All three rumors have pointed that way and it's pretty normal for DA. It also makes sense with Lauri.

What?

If you mean the JC/OG move, those could be construed as win now moves, but we might be giving up more immediate pieces to make those things happen.

I mean something like we trade Brooklyn's first for somebody, without really giving up a key rotation piece.

Is Collins that much of an upgrade over Vandy? Dunno much about him

That is the question.

I keep going back to Josh Hart. Matt Moore on Locked on said Portland will do something but that it wouldn’t include Grant, Dame, or Simons… said it would more likely be Hart or Nurkic. It would make some sense with their salary stuff and now that GP and Little are healthy.

If we do a “win now” move I hope it is low budget like that one. KO and Vando for Hart and Winslow… not sure if there is a pick one way or another.

Any trade with Portland has to be neutral on salary as they are barely under the tax line.

In other news, we've won 5 of our last 7.

The tank is a smoking wreck at the bottom of the cliff.

One of those losses was without Lauri too. The players we have were never going to be bad enough to tank.

KO/Vando/1st for Grant saves them 3.7M and it makes them worse so they get a better pick (they’re 21-35 currently).

It was always going to take a trade with negative current value. Still only 1.5 games out of 8th. I think at this point it would require a really negative trade and an injury to get bottom 7/8. We will see what DA has up his sleeve… will have to show his hand in a couple weeks.

Besides the big win against the Cavs. We've played some bad teams at home. We'll continue losing once we get back on the road lol

There is always some excuse. It’s not like we play teams that other teams don’t.

Supposedly Milwaukee trying to upgrade by putting a few second round picks with Grayson Allen. If you can move Beasley for first round value I think you could likely do a three team deal with Phoenix and Milwaukee... Allen comes home to Utah, Vando to Phoenix, Crowder to Milwaukee. We Bucks throw in some second round picks... Phoenix ponies up a protected first... the seconds milwaukee sends go to utah and phoenix.

Phoenix gets a cheap rotation player and saves a **** ton of money this year. We'd have to send out one filler salary.

Allen is a similar player to Beasley imo... he just is going to get picked apart in the playoffs and that is why the Bucks shop him. I think Allen would actually be a better fit as he is a better passer. Makes 8.5M this year and next.

I could get behind Allen. I wanted us to keep him in the first place. He is nasty, bordering on dirty, but we need a little more nasty.

I would love to get John Collins and Caruso on this team. I am Caruso might not be available.

Caruso would be a great get, for sure.

No excuse I'm just giving a more balanced assessment to your overly Rosy take. Maybe I've been listening to too much of David Locke's overly rosy assessments lately.
