Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

I actually think Minny wants to trade for Conley, they just don't want to look stupid. Maybe find a way to route Vando back there.

Otherwise maybe the Lakers can send Conley to the Clips for some win now pieces.
 
The Philadelphia 76ers and Utah Jazz may be circling each other in a potential deal, writes Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer. The Sixers are reportedly targeting Jazz big man Jarred Vanderbilt in a swap that would deal defensive-minded swingman Matisse Thybulle to Utah, Pompey reports. Aside from Vanderbilt, the Sixers are also showing interest in Detroit Pistons center Nerlens Noel and former 76ers center Andre Drummond

They literally cannot take Vando back due to CBA rules.

Imagine if they back out and Russell knows he could have been back in LA and he's stuck in Minny... might be the best case scenario for us as he could be highly unmotivated.

I think there's genuine interest in DLo from the Heat, Clippers, and Suns
 
There are so many little details regarding this deal. As constructed the Lakers would go 4.4M more into the tax. Minnesota saves 8.6M and we gain 8.8M while going into the tax. There has to be more pieces involved. I guess it could work if the Lakers are fine with the extra tax payment and we negotiate a buyout with Westbrook that takes us back under the tax.

Do this. We will be losing 3 players and buying out the returning Westbrook.

That leaves space for Moody, and Wiseman and possibly thybulle if the Lakers grab someone other than Vanderbilt.

Dump Dok and Gay for a ham sandwich and a drink.
 
Russ has under 20 million left this year so using the contract buyout extension rule it would be 20 million divided by 3 years. That means we can pay Russ 6.5+ this year and the cap hit is lowered by 13+ million. I think we could in theory take on more salary if we buy out Westbrook. The Jazz just pay 6.5 million for 3 seasons this season included.
 
I would give Minny a swap back as long as they remove protections on their 2009. It allows them to save some face.

This is what I would guess the players in the deal will be. 1 unprotected pick from the Lakers to Utah... some seconds to Minny. Also Jeannie gets to give DWade a full body massage.
