2023 Trade Rumors and Gossip Involving the Jazz

I want no part of KG. He’s a bad fit next to Markkanen and Sexton, THT, JC. Why on earth would the jazz want him?

So you think the 27 draft in the 5-15 range would be better than the 6-7 pick in a loaded 23 draft? And for all we know that pick could end up as a second round pick. Imagine we trade a future second well down the road for a Thompson twin, Walker or Whitmore.

I wouldn’t trade the wolves 25 pick

What? It’s 9 + the Lakers pick not just the Lakers pick.

If the pacers trade 7 for a wing then I am not sure he is coming from Utah unless it is Ochai.

I would do 9 + THT for the 7th. They liked him last year. But if their sites are set on acquiring Siakam or OG then, I am not sure I buy all the hype around us jumping ahead of Washington.

I also don't see the value of jumping up other than keeping other teams from leap frogging us to grab a guy that we want.

They a want wing who can shoot, otherwise they would select a Thompson twin. I think Ochai would appeal to them if they can get the 9.

Haha - why did he block you, Cy?

He was basically saying that if even a portion of what he's hearing is true, half the league is preparing to do some crazy ****.

I hope this is true. Danny Ainge thrives off desperation in others. He came out like a bandit last year. Can he top that this off-season? Please and thank you.

If the Jazz stay at 9, I'd take a swing on Bilal and hope he becomes an elite on-ball forward in a few years.

I’m high on Bilal. I have him at #10 on my board, but would try to package him with a top 5 guy if they can pull it off. If not, it depends on who else falls to 9 and how likely it is to move up from 16.

Whitmore/Walker + Couliably is what I’m hoping for.

The Jazz are clearly smokescreening on Bufkin hard or they're a leaky ship. I'm thinking it's the former.

They want a big, two-way guard and Bufkin fits the bill. I think they wanted him at 16 though, and that probably won't happen.

I think there could be a game of chicken going on with Sam Presti. OKC says they like our guy Bilal. Jazz say they like someone OKC wants, like Kobe or Keyonte.

The challenge here is that I think the Jazz want to move up from 9 for someone and also get a guard they want in the late lottery. They need two trade-up deals.

I’m worried the opportunity for the Jazz to trade 16 for 10 might be evaporating with the rise of Lively.

I'm not so sure Dallas is locked into Lively... all I know is I want Lively picked from 10-15 because it pushes someone else down the board that we would have interest in.

I’ll take the better odds at picking an allstar. Than slow play that much the rebuild

Woj said again on the Russilo podcast that he could see the Jazz dangling 9 and 16 if they fell in love with someone to move into the 4-6 range. Considering he’s said that multiple times now, I believe that’s exactly what we want to do. He also threw out Cam Whitmore as a guy we could “hypothetically” fall in love with
