Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Dallas would have to be interested in taking him back though.
If Kyrie wants to go they should want to do a sign and trade... Conley and a first or something else is not the worst thing in the world. They gonna say no and Kyrie walks for nothing or signs the MLE for a year... or sign a pissed off Kyrie to a max deal. FA have a way of bullying their way to their destination.

They could also take the roster to bare bones and hope Kyrie will accept less than the max.
 
If the hold up is draft compensation to the Wolves, are they wanting some protections back? Or some picks back from the Jazz? If so, this deal is dead. Why would we trade 3 guys to get 1 - 2 picks / swaps so we can send the Wolves a pick? Makes no sense.

The wolves can grab a second from the Lakers for all I care. Or heck, I would give them a second to lock in the deal contingent on them releasing all protections on the 2029 pick. ;)
 
Youre my guy but you keep acting like a single unprotected Lakers pick HAS to be a top 3...........it could very easily be a 9th pick. There is risk thats very real on that.
Its not just where it could land... getting unprotected picks is huge in trades as there is certainty on when they will convey and upside. It gets a heavy premium.

Also lol on top 3 and 9th... that's funny.
 
We are trading Mike.... a guy many thought had negative value to start the season... and two throw ins from the Rudy trade for a great first and a **** ton of cap space.
 
How's about:

Conley +Utah a very late second to Minny
Westbrook + 1st to Utah
Deangelo to LA

And then follow that with separate deals for Vanderbilt and Beasley.

That would be an alternative to a multi first round pick to the Lakers including all 3.
