Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

I’m a huge Josh Hart fan….I can’t see why now is the moment to trade for him. He’s so important to the Blazers, would have been smart to get him when he was being undervalued but that window has passed.
Not sure if you’ve paid attention to the reporting… he seems to widely be available… I think they are looking beyond this year and know they aren’t going to have the budget to keep him.
 
Is Hart, at the price he's going to fall at a better player than next year's Abaji? I'd stand pat at SG, SF, and Center unless you are bringing in a solid backup.
I don’t know but here is the thing with SG and SF types… you can play three at a time. I’m not going to make big decisions banking on Ochai yet… he’s shown a little bit but it’s super limited. He’s not a good defender yet… he’s not bad but he needs to learn all the tricks… having someone like Hart wouldn’t be bad thing.
 
Tim also said everything they do is focused 2 or 3 years down the road, but they would love to make a move that would help them now and in the future, which explains the interest in guys like Collins and Finney Smith. He said the Jazz interest in Finney Smith is real but nobody in Utah or Dallas actually thinks a deal will get done. He doesn't think Finney Smith will be traded by the deadline.

Also said he's hearing that the Jazz are asking for way too much in trade discussions....and Danny Ainge tends to get way too much.
And I don’t care about winning now all that much but just don’t send picks out in deals that only have guys under contract for a year or two. If you want to send Malik or Vando for those types of deals fine.

I haven't, so I could definitely be wrong here. The money situation does make sense as a reason to trade him.
 
Kinda surprised that nobody has been talking about this proposition reported by Shams:

They've already made it clear that DFS will not come cheap. Beasley straight up, absolutely! Sexton, who's been mentioned in Dallas fanzine news, Hell to the No! Nothing involving anything but maybe a highly protected evaporating first. Beasley and Azubuike for DFS makes a lot of sense for both parties IMO.

PS Also, encouraged that we are apparently not blowing it up and going youth movement as this signals to me that we plan to be in the hunt next season.

Bruh we done talked about it already.

I would have thought he was less available than reports suggest too. If someone we like is available then good for us!

I just struggle to see good player only acquisitions. I don't like the Collins fit with Kessler. I don't like the price or contract length on OG. If we could sell off and get some picks that would be my first choice. Use those picks later. I think this summer you could look at acquiring some win-now young vets after you see how the draft played out.
