Potential Trade Targets

[Mongoose]

He was a great perimeter defender early in his SA days. It’s really tapered off since he became a primary option… even in SA. I do believe Hardy can get the best of a guy like Murray. So maybe he would do slightly better here.

He is at least a capable defender which is more than you can say for lots of guys. He’s also a versatile player which is beneficial. Lots of things to like.

You win games people are happy. I just don't see a team with Lauri and Trae struggling to win.

Agreed. I'm not a Trae fan by any means, but Lauri and Walker (as a defensive center that can finish lobs) are pretty much a perfect setup for him.

Maybe it's been said in here and I missed it. But it's being reported Snyder wants to keep Murray. So that kinda hurts any chance of a deal.

But I would love to see a starting guard lineup of Keyonte and Murray with Dunn and Sexton or Clarkson coming off the bench.

Sounds like another case of trading a guy just to trade him and getting some scraps back. I can see Simone suddenly going ballistic and averaging like 14ppg after he's traded. Don't do it.

Fontecchio is a deceptively athletic hustle machine who can make the open shot, plays team ball and never quits. He's also dirt cheap. You NEED guys like this on every roster.

He plays team ball off the ball but not with the ball.

With the ball he is just automatically shooting or driving unless its a drawn action or a super simple passing look. He isnt a black hole really, but just doesnt have any chops as a facilitator.

I agree that we should keep him. We are thin at midsize wings who can play defense, and Simone definitely is one.

 

[David Stern]

I don’t think Phoenix has anything left at this point though, I don’t see a trade with them happening

 

[framer]

He’s a RFA so I could easily see Boston trading us their first this year for him. Phoenix really only has seconds so it would be 3-4 seconds from them.

You are not going to get a guy as good as Tec with the 30th pick in this year's draft.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

You are not going to get a guy as good as Tec with the 30th pick in this year's draft.

Probably not but jimmy butler, Desmond bane, Josh hart, and Kyle Anderson say hi.

 

[HermanG]

I feel like JC has tanked his trade value for this DL. I just hope that doesnt lead DA to sell high on Sexton, even if we still need consolidation.

 

[JazzJunkie]

Is a Trae/Lauri/Kessler core that much better than Rudy/Donovan? Guess it depends on the supporting players.

I actually enjoy watching Trae but he's getting paid $40+ mil per season to play one end of the court.

I would only trade for trade for trey if we could hockey sub dunn in everytime they run back on defense.

 

[JazzJunkie]

Tony Jones just dropped some late night heat.

Biggest takeaway is Simone has emerged as a target for the Celtics and Suns.

Clarkson might be staying and would be a prime trade candidate in the off-season.

Olynyk remains the likeliest player to be traded.

Tony's info (though he is well informed) is mostly lukewarm buttermilk.

i just read an article that listed lauri as a trade target for the kings. the proposed trade was harrison barnes, 1 FRP and 1 pick swap. the author went on to say this trade had a 50 percent chance of being completed. on planet delusional maybe. i hate sport writers who believe the jazz exist for the sole purpose of being a farm team for bigger markets.

I guess if they add Kegan Murray we might answer the phone.
