Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Fortunately, he is good enough on offense that you can let him learn with game minutes. Shooting 38% from 3 as a rookie is pretty amazing. Donovan shot 34% and Kyle Korver shot 39%.
Agree with giving him minutes and that his offense had looked good lately, but I don't quite understand the 3pt % comparison. He's hasn't attempted enough to really say anything about yet.

When he gets minutes, he is launching the three. In fact, if we just counted the spell where he is getting regular minutes, that three point percentage probably goes way, way up!

Also, his form is pretty as Hell, like Don's was.
 
Even though I am firmly in the pro tank camp you guys got me thinking about what win now moves would make sense. If you are going to consider a win now move then I think it needs to be an all in championship type of win now move where we compete this year. Would you do this type of deal and is the end result a championship favorite team over the next 2 years?

Incoming-
Siakam
OG

Outgoing-
Conley
Beasley
THT
Jazz 2023 1st
Wolves 2023 1st
Cavs 2025 1st
Wolves 2025 1st
Cavs 2027 1st
Wolves 2027 1st

C- Kessler, Olynyk
Pf- Siakam, Vandy
Sf- Lauri, NAW
Sg- OG, Ochai
Pg- Clarkson, Sexton

That is some crazy length in the starting lineup and if we wanted to go more perimeter oriented I think a lineup of Lauri, Siakam, OG, Clarkson and Sexton would be pretty devastating.

I think the win-now has a problem in that we would need to add 2 core pieces and somehow get them to jell with the current guys in 30 games.

I like the opportunistic approach where we shortlist enough guys who we think could fit to our core and dont force moves because of a timeline... instead just wait for the right guy to become available. Forcing timelines has never worked, unless you get lucky with instantly getting perfect fits.

1st team level PG and PF (or combo guard and/or combo forward) are my entire bucket list. Sure after we get them we can and will look at the bench more carefully. Want at least one of them to be a legit scoring option (and a plus defender) and the other one to be an elite wing defender.

OG almost fits the bill (elite wing defender but more of a wing than PF/combo F) but unfortunately his contract is just bad for us.

Zero shots last night. ☹️

Latest from Marc Stein:

With less than three weeks to go before the trade deadline, teams regarded as clear-cut sellers at the deadline remain in short supply. Yet there is a rising belief leaguewide that Utah is open to listening to trade pitches for anyone on the roster not named Lauri Markkanen or Walker Kessler.

Sounds to me like the NBA trade deadline is a sellers market. That bodes well for the jazz. A lot of teams are going to put themselves in position to win and the jazz can help.

Mike Conley to the clippers sounds like a plan as long as kennard, boston, coffey, or preston as part of the trade and a pick.

Sexton I dont see being moved

NAW has grown on me and I think he could be a future piece.

Beasley is the biggest trade piece we have and is worth a FRP. To many options available

Clarkson is one of my favorites but it is time to say good bye. I think the perfect fit for him is the Bucks. He just makes so much sense. Not sure I would want allen back but a FRP is good preferably a future pick.

Agbaji I dont see being moved and I think he is a future piece.

THT is a good pick to get traded. I dont see him picking up his option so he could sign a longer term deal but you never know.

Fontecchio wont be traded and I hope he gets more burn. I like him.

Vando is probably the second best trade chip the jazz own. I like vando and he could be a future piece but he could also being back a solid piece.

Olynyk gawd yes please DA trade him. Please please. I think he would be amazing on the warriors. I wonder if Vando and Olynyk would be enough to steal moody, kuminga or baldwin. I would also like to get wiseman.

Kessler no
Markkenan no

Please tell me you’re joking.
 
So the team that intrigues me the most is Charlotte, currently second last in the east , which will be a very high pick , I can’t see them giving it up , but if they don’t get #1 then we can start talking .

I doubt they would be interested in Henderson , having ball already ..

Maybe our best trades will happen in the draft , not the trade deadline .
