Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

My hunch is that just like Niang, he would commit to a longer term deal at just above the minimum. Niang was a more established player, so I think you could get NAW with a non-guaranteed year as well. If we could lock down NAW for something like 3/$12M with the last year being non guaranteed I would love it. You’ve got to have some cheap role players on roster.
I would be over the moon if we got him for that cheap.
 
Id give up Sexton and the Brooklyn pick for Tyus. Memphis loves drafting late 1st round.
I would too... but I don't think Memphis plays around this year. In the offseason I can see it though. I could even see it discussed now and general terms of a deal laid out. Might be best for everyone... Mike doesn't have to move in season. We don't move a guy that will participate in AS stuff. Not sure Mike would be enthusiastic about the **** show in LA and not sure they are like a no brainer contender right now.

If it was Mike and one of the picks we own from Cleveland or Minny for Tyus I'd be down.

I think it could absolutely happen. NAW won't cost us a cap exception like he would another non-capspace team. I'd maybe even get more aggressive with the years and do like 4/20M if we could. I doubt he would get more than a teams bi-annual exception right now.

Would likely need one more salary... Konchar or Laravia could smooth out the value there. With the salary they have coming down the road Jones won't be staying there beyond next year.
 
Another wrinkle is that the Jazz clearly dont want Sexton being a starter. If you trade Conley that kind of forces you into starting Sexton.
Start NAW if you dont want to start Sexton.

If you trade Conley, you're not cursed to start Collin Sexton for the end of eternity lol.

I really don't see what the big deal is with starting Sexton for the rest of the season, especially when the record isn't particularly important anyways.

Because if the goal is for him to be this super 6th man type, you want him growing into that role and accepting it. If you give him the starter reigns only to take them away, that could be problematic.

The human dynamic is real here imo. Imagine getting a promotion at work you really want and then 6 months later you are pushed back to your old position... you might be okay with that I guess but it is a concern.

Getting NAW inked on a 4yr deal should definitely be a priority but I think odds are he takes the qualifying offer if we offer it or if we don't he is gone for sure. There is no way that he doesn't have a sour taste already with the way Hardy has treated him and it doesn't look like that is going to change. You can't blame him either. He plays really well and gets benched for no reason. Luckily he seems to be a great teammate or probably would have already asked to be traded since this is his contract year.
 
Its hilarious to me that in a West this wide open the Lakers are going to sit on their hands because they can't get a star for their picks.
