Trade up? What are you willing to give up?

[Handlogten's Heros]

Detroit and Orlando are trade up scenarios we may have better luck with... going from 9 to 3 is just a huge jump. 9 plus an unprotected pick to Orlando for #6 is something I'd consider if Amen or Cam are available.

Ochai?

Only way I'm trading up is if it involves Sexton or future picks. I wouldnt be touching Walker/Lauri/THT.

THT?

 

[Jazz fan since 79]

Lauri straight up for #3... (reportedly Portland will have the pick up for sale)

Would you do that for Scoot? Would you do it for Miller?

This is the million dollar question. I haven’t watched either Scoot or Miller play, but if you think one of them will be great, and you can hold onto 9 and 16, maybe you go all in on the rebuild this year. That would give the Jazz a lot of young talent under salary-controlled contracts for a long time. I love Lauri, but if you believe you can get real guy at 3 and good to decent rotation guys at 9 and 16. Seems tempting. Plus then you likely hang onto your pick in 24.

I need to watch all those more thoroughly. I'm not ready to commit to any trade after watching just highlights

THT?

Yeah, I'm a believer.

I don't think we will move up from 9... I could see us moving up from 16 or 28. I honestly think we should strongly consider moving back from 9 to 12 if OKC will give back the pick we owe to do so.

Orlando is in the best position to move up to #3 with Portland.

Yeah, I'm a believer.

What level of belief are we talking here? Might be good rotational player belief? Solid starter belief? All-star belief?

And based on what?

Ochai?

I dont think Ochai moves the needle for anyone so I didnt include him. If teams are trading down they usually want win now pieces and Sexton is more of that I guess.

I think like all things DA... he will go where the opportunity is. If a dumb team wants to do dumb things they will talk with Danny.

If Portland is desperate for immediate help for Dame, Ainge will listen. Don't think we're willing to give up anything that PDX would look for though. Frankly, if I'm Portland, I am shopping Dame.

you offer 9 and 16, they ask for a future first on top of that, you thanks, but no thanks.

Dude, I didn't say I'd offer that. I said Orlando probably ask for that. lol
