2023 Trade Rumors and Gossip Involving the Jazz

The Murray trade was terrible and the only reason it didn't get much publicity is because the Gobert trade happened. He did nothing to elevate the team. They paid all that to get a guy who scored 20.5 points on 17.8 shots per game

Just draft JHS, a guy who will have a better career than Murray.

It's Utah. You would have to max him

Doubt it. Again... we can dangle a big deal now for a guy that had an ACL injury early in his career. He can lock up not quite max but a ton of dough. If we throw 3/120M extension deal in front of him you think he'd pass and risk it? He could play it out on a 18M expiring and go for the 4/180M type deal next summer maybe but anything can happen in 12 months and securing a nice bag now (after you've been traded twice) might be a strong offer.

Dude couldn't wait to get out of San Antonio....

If you want to play that game, go ahead.

He was sick of Primo flashing him... IDK I would just trust Hardy's assessment of him. The money stuff can be figured out.

I would bet against it happening... because I think they are more likely to send out Collins than to take back what they could get for Murray. I just think its one of the few legit big targets we should be looking at.

Are we wanting to wait 2-3 years hoping a better option comes available?

If this isn't a slow rebuild... then I think lead guard is addressed in FA or trade in the next 12 months. I like Wallace and Black as I think they can be functional early and you might be able to place a vet supplement next to them. Its tough to be a playoff team with a rookie pg.

They also might be fibbing a bit and think it will take more time... but I'd expect them to be in on anyone that lines up with Lauri's timeline.

You know that’s after Lauri’s current contract expires, yes?

We are essentially on Lauri's timeline. We have him and Walker super cheap for 2 years. We can be patient but can't let good opportunities slip by.

I think if the choices were giving FVV 4/120 or trading for Murray I'd lean towards FVV. The bidding for Murray could get higher than I'd want to go. I just think that is the easiest and most cost effective way to get to high 40s in wins and a playoff lock... address the pg.

Just so that @KqWIN doesn't feel not seen... Quickley is another vet pg option that might be better and would accelerate the process.

Are NBA players figuring that out? His wife is an Instagram model/influencer who dated NBA YoungBoy.

I mean, the outdoors in Utah are getting eyes on instagram and people are moving here in droves. I have no idea what NBA YoungBoy is and I’m good with that.

As people move here from the coasts (which is where they’re mostly moving from), they are making it less of a weird, white, imposing Mormon fortress. SLC and the Jazz are not what they were in the 90’s.

Lastly, I don’t think Wade became a part owner because he lost a bet with someone. Utah is factually one of the most up-and-up places in the country and has been for over a decade. The perception of that reality has lagged but it’s rapidly catching up.
