I think Ainge was always going to trade the **** out of Gobert. It's just not like him to invest that much in the center position, especially for one that is offensively limited.
Jazz already have offers on the table. Those offers won't regress. Jazz are just trying to finesse them by adding a 3rd team. I think the process sounds perfectly normal. No team was going to give the Jazz exactly what they want, so the Jazz need to take some initiative.
Jazz likely have other deals for Mike and Bojan that they can merge or alter to make the Gobert deal work.
