Best Playoff Outcomes for Jazz Trades

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I can't see the Luka thing happening. Only if they get swept by an average of 15 ppg

Oh yeah, no chance. Dallas is legit. They won't have a bad first round imo. I think they probably win in 5 if Kawhi isn't back.

Yeah, the Bucks not having control of picks at all would make a Giannis decision very tough.

I think Giannis trade is another year away. I think they play it out a year and then would ask for a top 3-4 pick next year as the prime asset to move him. This assumes they don’t look like contenders next couple years.

The Pels are a tax team who will likely make moves if they don't make a real run this year. The rumor as early as last fall was that they might be willing to move Brandon Ingram. Ingram, if he stays healthy, is potentially the type of versatile big guard the Jazz currently lack. (No disrespect to Brice.) If I were the Pels I'd be trying to get off of McCollum, but that's a tough contract to move.

Interestingly, the Pels are also expected to lose Valanciunas in FA. If they could get a cheaper replacement that would help their cause. That adds another reason why they might make a call to the Jazz.

with Zion's injury they're likely done I'd be stunned if they run it back

Atlanta looks like they definitely making a change. Not that it’s breaking news there.

I dont know about that. He already hinted on wanting out last year and has made multiple quotes this year about how "every needs to be fully commited".... and see what they have done over the past 12 months.

Fired coach Bud
got Dame who didnt wanna go there (and who doesnt look like a good investment)
fired Griffin at 30-13 record
almost fired equipment manager

Bud getting fired was already strongly linked to Giannis, as was Griffin being fired. Giannis also was the one going for the equipment manager but he obviously had a stronger foothold in the organization than those coaches.

Right but he signed the extension when he didn’t need to… if he’s hurt and they lose how is he gonna blame that on others. I think the bucks pick situation is such that they will do everything possible first. Giannis also isn’t the type to demand out and likely is aware of his reputation and likely not excited to tarnish it. The Bucks likely try and end up being a year too late in trading Giannis rather than a year too early.

He has always liked to put pressure on the FO.. but its just that their actions recently have seemed much more drastic and shortsighted.

It will be interesting to see what the Hawks do. Dejounte had shown he could be as good as Trae, perhaps even better, for them. And together they they haven't been effective. Right now it does look like Tray is the one who is more likely to be moved. But who knows. They might still try to keep them both and make other changes.

Seems that a lot of team go all in and losing may make the market interesting.
Atlanta may move Murray or Young, could one of those interesting for us? Not so sure...
Others teams losing early may retools.
If KAT, DON, Murray, Young, Ingram.... are on the market , it will be pretty exciting and i hope we try to get one of the star avalaible.

I think people are a bit delusional about how attractive is Utah for the unhappy superstars who want to win. These players always have enough pull in those trades since nobody wants to blow all their assets on the star who really does NOT want to be there. All that the Jazz have now is Lauri and a bunch of unproven rookies. Zion or Doncic going there will put them much farther from competing than staying with their current teams. Any star would rather go to other teams that have assets to trade but these teams should also give them a great chance to compete pretty much right away.

If you are Doncic and want to win, would you rather join Lauri or try to team up with Wemby? Or with SGA and Holmgren? With Sengun and Green? The Jazz are simply not an appealing place for star players at this stage but they could be in a year or two if everything goes right.

Ya if Luka is a free agent then he will probably pick those teams you mentioned over us
However, if Dallas were to trade him then the Dallas Mavericks might want what the jazz have to offer in a trade more than those teams you listed.

Btw the jazz don't trade Lauri for a star in the scenario you made. They keep Lauri to pair with a star
