What's new

2024-25 Trade Rumors Thread

Locke dropped his podcast on youtube for today and he's making an argument to get Zion now that the market is asking for less draft capital on stars.
 
Locke's argument amounts to buy low on a star. He might not be healthy for the next two years, but that's a benefit to Utah as they want to tank for a top 5 pick this year and next. Then you have Collier/Keyonte developed, two top 5 picks, Lauri, and Walker and you have a massively talented team. If he doesnt mature/get healthy by year 3 you just move on and it's low cost to where it wont hurt your future.
 
Zion to Utah just makes too much sense.

Danny is pissed he missed out on Luka now that he is probably locked into LA for the next decade. He wants his own splash and goes hunting for Zion.
 
So what would Jazz have to give to get Zion
Locke was saying the better of the Minnesota/Cleveland pick in 2027 with light protections, matching salary, and probably some combination (or maybe just one of) Hendricks/Sensabaugh/Williams
 
It's an entertaining pod, Locke has a good rant on the Lakers getting Luka. Audio quality is beyond awful tho. Dude really needs to hire an audio engineer.
