That's quite possibly the worst thing we can do right now. I will believe it when I see it... but I do not believe Ainge is that clueless about how to build a contender. I do not believe any serious person in the league can see Lavine as a significant piece of a contending team.

I mean a Collins/Clarkson straight swap for LaVine is fine in my eyes. I wouldn’t add 10 or anything close to that value.

I would actually be trying to get something... I know... I know... real homer deal, but if there really is no market for that deal right now it feels like they could get a little desperate.

Utah Jazz Rumors | Hoops Rumors

Utah Jazz trade, free agent, and draft rumors, updated constantly by the NBA experts at HoopsRumors.com.

"The Jazz are expected to be open to trading their picks in this year’s draft, including No. 10 overall, and some people around the league believe team owner Ryan Smith is ready to add more high-level talent to the roster, Scotto writes, adding that Jazz CEO Danny Ainge has “aggressively monitored” the trade market."
 
Houston is reportedly open to moving #3. Memphis is open to moving #9. Portland is willing to package some of their picks. I think a lot of teams are going to be willing to move picks in this draft.

I just think we have no urgency on that type of deal and they would have plenty… so they are more motivated to close the gap. If they move him elsewhere I’m not sad at all… but just a word of warning… that’s how I felt about the John Collins rumors. I wanted a pick back and felt they would be more desperate. We did the deal without a sweetener… which was the wrong call imo.

Kessler and 29 or 32 for 9 is something we should be investigating… I think more highly of Walker but I’m not sure the org does.
 
Despite the "quiet" market, I think Lavine will yield something similar to what Beal got. Chicago never trades, they probably want a max-superstar type package for him but no one will come close to it. I still think he gets something clear positive. Maybe you can get him in a pure salary dump, but if you're sending back bad/long term salary that's going to add some cost.

Maybe. I think Beal was viewed more positively (right or wrong) than Lavine is now. Both have concerns about availability, but Lavine also has the issue of his teams consistently being better when he is off the floor throughout his career. I also think people look at the Beal trade as a mistake... so people may poke holes in the comp.

If the Lakers get desperate and miss out on their first targets... that is what I think would change things.
