You can do this with pretty much any Jimmy trade btw…I think Sexton+Collins is just ideal for MIA as the intersection of win now talent but no salary beyond two years.

I think a multi team with PHI involving Paul George is interesting. Maybe we take him in and let him heal up for the year (DA finally gets his guy lol). Or we could potentially flip him to another team right away.

PG’s contract is terrible so I’d want something good for assuming that risk or I’d want to ship him out right away.

I would kind of love getting PG if you can put him on ice for the rest of the year. Would be insane to start 2025 with Lauri/Flagg/PG/Walker.

I think PG needs to be put on ice for the rest of this year anyways. It’s what would be best for his career instead of putting it all on the line for a play in run.

He’s an interesting case and a fun one to think about. Could be washed, but I think there will still be teams who want us….and if we land Flagg that could be us.

Yeah, he is at the age where the washing can just be very sudden.
 
The thing with getting PG is that I really only like it if we get Flagg, so it's betting on a 14% outcome. Otherwise you just have PG and a young potential star who might be 2-4 years away and PG could impede that growth.
 
Yes, I definitely think we should trade Collins. We’ve got seven young players and more coming in the next couple of drafts. The Jazz need to figure out what these young guys are and work on developing them. Hendricks will be on the court next season. Also, Cody will be playing more. We’re probably not going to be contenders for at least 3-4 years. This upcoming draft is an opportunity for us. Also, the 2026 draft. Shouldn’t toss them away. We're not ready yet.
 
Teams should be going after him pretty hard
Dude is having an amazing season. I mean if we were trying to win and feeding him more volume and he wasn't missing any games then he would be a guaranteed all star.
He is in his prime and plays hard as ****

My current stance is that if we don’t hit on Flagg, we should probably look to 2026 draft and even if we do we still might be better off trading Lauri/everyone else. So I find the proposition of taking on PG very risky.

Having said that, I think if you simply put PG on ice for the rest of this year there will still be a lot of belief that he is/can be a good player. You can sell the narrative that he just needed some time to get healthy and it’s honestly a valid narrative. I think that if we acquired him now and rested him the remainder of the year we would have some trade offers if we wanted to move him in the summer.

Fair enough….but he’s become a really good player and I pretty much feel bad for every player that has to sit in order to lose on purpose. He does seem very happy here though.

Ya if we keep all of Clarkson, Collins and Sexton and they are all on the roster next year then we better not tank next year.

We have to give these guys a chance at winning and see what they can do with a fully fleshed out as good as can be roster.

They have all been good soldiers for long enough. Can't make them tank again.
 
Per 36 (he only averages 29 minutes) Collins is at 22 points and 10 rebounds per game. On 54% from the field, 46% from 3, and 87% from the line.

He is our most efficient player (other than Kessler who kind of doesn't count) and is 5th on the team in attempts.

If we were trying to win and had a real point guard (maybe Collier could be that guy) and featured him a bit more he could be an all star next year.

Lauri has been an all star already. Sexton has had many long stretches of all star level offensive play. Kessler is evolving into a very high level starting center.

Let's get Flagg and let's ****ing go!

Now that I jinxed it, there will be a sexton and Collins trade soon and we will tank again next year. Sigh....
