2023 Trade Rumors and Gossip Involving the Jazz

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Atlanta could also take a PG with the idea that they'll move Dejounte and they'll play Trae off the ball more.

I've been trying to think of who the most Quin Snyder player is in this draft (assuming he will have the most say so).

If they keep the pick I expect them to go Jett Howard.

OKC is bringing Taylor Hendricks in for a workout. They think they can get him. So he's either falling a bit down to 12, or OKC is going to move up.

I mean not necessarily.

A trade up is brewing in OKC... Think they can move up to #7 with Dort or picks.

Hendricks working out for teh Thunder is just him establishing a floor for himself.

He isnt a guarantee to go to the Jazz or Mavs and the Magic dont have a need for him at 11.

lol... he ain't even making it to 9.

Maybe, anything can happen. That's likely why he is working out for them.

 

[Elizah Huge]

He definitely wouldn’t make it past 10 anyways.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

He definitely wouldn’t make it past 10 anyways.

Mavs would absolutely draft teh effs out of him.

Lively is a much better prospect and a much better fit and would help them win more games in the immediate future and it's not even arguable.

No thanks. The talent difference between 13 and 16 is no existent in this draft and there will be some serious talent still available at 28.

Are you sure? Wallace, Bufkin, and Keyonte could all go in those slots.

I would like to get Barrett still if the price was reasonable.

I personally would pass.

I’m sorry to break it to you but it is arguable lmao and you are on the wrong side of this argument.

When Melo the Jazz Killer thinks you're lousy maybe it's not the time to trade for him.

How so?

Lively was a top 5 recruit, he was just an elite defender at the college level and is a perfect fit with their star player. The Mavs have absolutely ZERO quality centers on their roster. Their scoring will be just fine without Taylor Hendricks contributing his 1-2 three pointers per game. They can just re-sign Christian Wood if they really like what Taylor Hendricks game consist of, he's the better version of Hendricks at NBA ready level.

I was referring to the better prospect part you were saying. I like Lively as well but I don’t see how he should be ranked higher than Hendricks.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Look at the type of guys Luka has had success with. Hendricks is a juiced up version of those teammates.

Because quality centers are more valuable than a 3&D forward. I know some people exist in fairy tale land regarding centers not being important still, but if you want any chance of beating Nikola Jokic (which seemingly this is something the Mavs should care about) then you need a quality big center.

So Lively gonna shut that **** down huh. They need a big... one ready for action... Lively may take a while before he gets there.

I think Lively is NBA ready from Day 1 to play his limited role and will add more wins than any other rookie the Mavs can realistically draft. It's just a perfect fit.
