Jeff Hornacek is a good example that we traded to get (Jeff Malone).Yep. I wasn't implying he's the biggest we've traded for, just that he was the biggest splash we've ever made with bigger names.

One thing Andy said in the pod and was pretty clear about tho was that they want to convey the pick to OKC this year.I think DA finally acquires some seconds this deadline and moves KO. He can’t stay quiet over a deadline. I think they settle in a Ic trade only if they have plans to use space this offseason.
After talking with my close personal friend Andy Larsen… I’m more convinced than ever that they don’t have some master plan and are just kind of value based and not necessarily sure of what way they will go. This is gap year number 2 and we will have two more unless they can trade for a big time difference maker or move Lauri and fall in the top 5 of the lotto.
That would be one reason why I don’t see trading KO for seconds.One thing Andy said in the pod and was pretty clear about tho was that they want to convey the pick to OKC this year.
Thats sort of like a plan or a direction... at least for this specific DL.
IMO there’s a 90% chance KO is out the door at the deadlineI could be wrong but I think this will be a meh deadline for us and the NBA. Teams did work early this year.
Why would they want Sexton over JC. A sexton Trae backcourt is way less than ideal. Let’s just trade sexton For TraeIt's apparently between the Jazz and the Lakers for Murray. I'm assuming our package is centered around Sexton (as it makes more sense for them to want him over JC), sadly.
Cause Clarkson sucks?Why would they want Sexton over JC. A sexton Trae backcourt is way less than ideal. Let’s just trade sexton For Trae
Apparently the FO views the draft class as garbage. They probably feel they can get as good or better prospect off the waiver wire.That would be one reason why I don’t see trading KO for seconds.
I asked Andy but no specific package has been mentioned. He speculated Clarkson due to the Quin connection there. I speculated KO due to his expiring salary.I know this has been mentioned but rumor is the jazz made an offer for Murray. Are there any rumors as to what the offer was.
Yeah. Unfortunately right now we have the Robins, but we need to add the Batman.Jeff Hornacek is a good example that we traded to get (Jeff Malone).
<Nerd alert> screw Batman and bring us the Kryptonians like SupermanYeah. Unfortunately right now we have the Robins, but we need to add the Batman.
Eh, there are only a bare handful of kryptonians, and they are way too expensive and entitled to come to Utah. But it's been proven that a couple batmans can take down a Superman.<Nerd alert> screw Batman and bring us the Kryptonians like Superman
Atlanta is a team that I could see wanting JC. Quin loves JC and JC loves Quin.If Atlanta was choosing between LAL and Jazz who would they want in return? D'lo (nope), Clarkson (meh) or Sexton(yes). So is it really just LAL DLo + a pick (the 2009 - wow) versus Sexton + 1 pick (2025 Minny - meh) for Dejounte?
Then the LAL would try Sexton if Atlanta didn't bite.Atlanta is a team that I could see wanting JC. Quin loves JC and JC loves Quin.
I would guess JC plus 2 picks. 1 protected and 1 unprotected.

The thing I got from Andy was just kinda the stuckness. I'm still not sure the team has a huge preference. I'm not sure KO has a huge impact on our pursuit of the play in unless there are injuries. If you listen to episode 2 you will know that "early seconds are the new late firsts". They are much easier to acquire right now and on draft night you can flip the 35th or 36th pick plus a second for a late first (as 50% of the picks between 20-30 are Stepien restricted right now). Its also easier to give a first when you know its the 25-30th pick and you have an idea of who will be available around that part of the draft. So if we get a couple seconds and one is in the 30s as of right now... go ahead and just call that a late first... cuz it is.That would be one reason why I don’t see trading KO for seconds.
