Potential Trade Targets

Eff it... I'm in for the 4 team Murray/Clarkson/Dlo/Fournier deal if it lands Grimes/Dlo/remove protections on the 2027 pick. Get some seconds or if NY is dumb take the worst of their firsts this year on top as the icing.

Is this a thing you made up or an actual rumor?

Yes... there are rumors of these things happening... Murray to LA... needing a home for Dlo but needing to drop some assets to do it. NY being interested in JC... Utah interested in Grimes... I am gathering all the tea leaves and making tea. I am adding some sugar to make it drinkable cuz tea without it is garbage.
 
I don’t the FO is heavily weighing recent games in their strategy, but it will be interesting to see how quickly this forum changes its tone if the Jazz struggle a bit on this road trip. A week ago, nobody can be traded. If we lose tonight, that’s 3 in a row and the pitchforks will be coming out lol.

Here's what I think I know for sure:

- Dlo is gone.
- I think Rozier goes to the Heat. Sending Lowry for Rozier saves them a bunch of tax this year. Hornets clear the books (likely a sweetener coming their way).
- Murray is gone
- Brown gets moved somewhere.
- Fournier's deal gets moved somewhere.

I think those might be in the "virtual certainty" for me. I think you can connect a lot of those dots together and how they link together will be how the deadline shakes out.

Which Brown are we talking about here? Catching up.

I guarantee we don't lose tonight.
 
Woj on the Lakers:

LA wants Bruce Brown. They tried to sign him in free agency, then called the Pacers about trading for him before he was included in the Siakam trade. They will be on the phone again with Toronto trying to acquire Brown before the deadline.

They’ve talked with the Hawks about Dejounte Murray, but Atlanta is trying to recoup the draft capital (3 FRP) they originally sent to the Spurs.

If D’Angelo Russell is part of a trade, they will likely need to attach more assets to get off his contract because of the player option.

It seems like there would at least be some buzz around one of the rumor mongers saying "i checked with Utah and they aren't really interested". This group isn't exactly tight lipped. I trust Hardy here and Murray might be a handful to deal with. Cuz like... if you are interested in Jrue why wouldn't you be interested in Murray (I know that one guy is theoretical but still).

If the price is as low as it seems... it is really hard not to swoop in here... and maybe that is the plan.

Not down payment theory I promise... but trades are hard. And some front offices struggle to work together. The fact that we have done a deal with the Hawks means we've figured it out before... so I would think the inroads there are wide open. Yet - we've heard nothing. Leads me to believe we are likely just not that interested for some reason.

Otherwise I think a JC to NY, Grimes and Fournier to Atlanta with a pick from us, and Murray to Utah seems like super doable given what the Lakers are offering.

Hardy said in the Ryen Russillo pod like a week ago that "we dont have a veteran point guard at this point". I tried super hard to read between the lines but failed. Dont know if he meant we might go after one or if he thinks Key/Dunn/Sexton will grow into one, but its definitely on the menu...

Damn Ryen for not pushing on that specific comment. Like if the HC says "we dont have X", and the interviewer doesnt even ask "any plans on addressing this?"....
