Potential Trade Targets

If they’re willing to take Collins for Hayward, you do it immediately.

I'm quite reticent to commit any praise for Ryan Smith to public record, but I trust that he would never stoop to disrespecting Gail Miller by bringing Hayward back into the fold.
He knew full well that the Jazz weren't in play to resign yet he allowed her and The Posse to show up in LA (or wherever it was) and let them plead and grovel for him to return.

Eff his injury prone arse and the horse he rode out on.

0 interest in a 34 year old Hayward. He isnt good for team chemistry and doesnt add that much to our team if anything. Especially if it means giving up a starter that is playing very well lately and a big part of our success. Collins is the type of PF this board has wanted for years and within seconds of him being here and trying to adapt a bunch of people want to dump him for peanuts. He is overpaid but the contract isnt going to hurt us anytime soon.
 

According to this article the Spurs have made Doug McDermott and Cedi Osman available. Both are expiring contracts.

How about THT for either player? Cedi would be my preferred option because he is long and experienced. You can never have enough length imho. He would also save the jazz a bit of cash.

THT is the better player but Cedi saves the Jazz a couple million for the 2nd half of the season. We could do worse.

As a bonus, the move would get us under the cap by $41,000 according to NBA trade machine which isn't always completely accurate. The spurs would remain under the cap by $2 million.

Capologists, would we qualify for additional benefits by operating under the cap?

Watched Cedi Osman in Cavs, when Lauri played for them. I think he fits well to this current Jazz brand
 
Brooklyn is on the decline. Heading to a potential rebuild. How many picks would you give up for Mikel Bridges? He fits the mold of what we are needing. A 6’6 wing, bonafide bucket, creator, two way player. Does he take the Jazz into top 4 in the west?

Could you give up 3-4 picks to open a window here with only the Nuggets in the west as a legit contender while preserving the shot at another window in 4-6 years with Keyonte, Hendricks and future draft assets?

They dont control their own draft so they wont go into a tanking rebuild. That would just gift high picks to Houston, who owns Nets 1sts unprotected in 2024 and 2026, and also holds swap rights to their 2025 and 2027 picks.
 
Sometimes you just don't fix what isn't broken. No core player trades right now thanks (unless KO has said he's not coming back, which I don't believe for a second. He has a perfect situation here and we play his kind of basketball.)
