Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

What free agent is coming to Utah? Some players worse than what was just given away for free.

Here's what I think:
1) Jazz want to tank for this draft.
2) Jazz want Lakers to increase the chances that the Twolves' pick ends up in the lottery
3) Jazz want off Conley's money for next year
4) Jazz are done with Vanderbilt and aren't keen to re-sign Beasley either.
If they could’ve gotten a pick swap this year and a more interesting prospect, I think this would’ve been a great trade. As it is, they consolidated guys they’re not going to keep for a high value, lightly protected future pick. I’m pretty sure that’s what DA’s priority was. In those terms, it was a home run. Very few teams are going to part with an asset like that for 3 role players.
 
I’m in shock that it actually happened!

I wanted to trade Conley and Beasley. If you go back about 20+ pages to yesterday I said they need to be the first two traded.

We just got the most coveted draft assets on the market without giving up anything significant.
 
It’s ok to punt on a trade because we did well before?

I didn't say that... I just don't think people understand the amount of cap space we cleared and are just looking at Russ' 47M deal. Its expiring... with $60M we can buy a few Beasley's, Vando's, and lock them into longer deals.

The Bogey deal is a far bigger dunce than this one.

Also the never tankers will hate this but this is exactly what DA said he would not do... he did a deal so we could suck hard and get a legit shot at a top 4 pick.
