2023 Trade Rumors and Gossip Involving the Jazz

Players I would throw more minor / small contracts at:

Either of the Holiday bros
Jevon Carter (I love this pickup for the Jazz!)
Josh Hart
Malik Beasley (I liked him on the Jazz when we didn't have Clarkson on the floor at the same time)

Players who are just too spendy for my liking but would be excellent additions if they can be had on a 1 year:
Cam Johnson (If the price is right then yes but that's unlikely)
Clarkson (run it back if the price is right)
Rui (ok)
Kuzma (meh)
Bruce Brown (doubt it)
Kris Middelton (doubt it)
Harrison Barnes (doubt it)

Free Agents that would help put us in the playoffs:
Draymond Green - but I just don't see it happening
FVV - He would be a tremendous P&R threat with Lauri! He is probably the only FA I would spend more than $30 million per year on. But I would prefer alternatives via trades.
What about Austin Reaves? He can be had but we'll have to go north of 100 million to get him.
 
Why would they need to tear down Hendricks and rebuild him? He has a consistent outside shot already and a strong motor. He needs to get stronger and continue to develop his ball handling but there isn't anything to tear down and start over like a broken jump shot.
The shot is great, keep that. He plays defense with his athleticism like Whiteside. If he wants to be a rim protector rather than a weak side rim protector he needs to learn his craft like Rudy or Kessler. He's athletic enough for the footwork, he needs to learn the footwork.

He has to learn the team game. Watching him play he looks like he is playing separate from his team. Not selfish, just like he was the new guy showing up to a pickup game that has been going on for years. He needs to be on a team with talent as good or better than him and learn where he fits.

I think of him as one of those elite athlete projects that can already shoot. I can't see how you could be high on someone like a Thompson twin or Bilal and be down on Hendricks. It is the same concept, but he has the most important part down already and has better length.
 
Jazz called about Harris. Morey was smoking some of the good stuff lately.

LMFAO.. they told the Cavs they wanted Allen, Mobley, and a pick for him? Crazy.

But also the Cavs should totally make that trade to ruin their future

Sound alike the kind of thing you leak so you make Tobias Harris ego not feel hurt. Yeah, you're on the block but we are asking for ridiculous **** (even though it's BS and we actually begged to dump you with some 2nd round picks)
 
A few contract guarantees coming up:
** Kelly Olynyk becomes fully guaranteed for $12MM on June 28.
** Jordan Clarkson at $14.3MM has a player option deadline on June 29.
** Talen Horton-Tucker at $11MM has a player option deadline on June 29.
** Rudy Gay at $6.5MM has a player option deadline on June 29.
** Damian Jones opted in to his deal at $2.6MM on June 23.
All player option deadlines from now on come before the draft, please.
