Pretty much every player is guaranteed at this point. I’m pretty sure even minimum contracts coming back are still going to put the jazz just over the line unless there’s another player coming and going.

Jazz would have to cut a deal somewhere else to keep themselves from going over the tax line. It’s not worth becoming a taxpayer this year. . . much rather keep flexibility than help the Lakers owners save cash.

Swap the 23 Lakers/spells pick for the Nets/76ers pick and try to add Rudy Gay. That deal is absolute gold.

Conley, Beasley, Vando and either Gay or NAW for Westbrook (buyout), Wenyen Gabriel, Troy Brown and Max Christie - plus their 27 pick and a pick swap between the Lakers/Pels and Nets/76ers picks this year. Gotta include a 4th player to keep the Jazz under the tax line. If the Jazz can make this...

I think Lebron is going to become incredibly toxic if they don’t do something. They need to make a move that helps them this year and blunts the sting of Kyrie getting shipped to Dallas. Jazz should give them an off ramp. . . Give the Lakers Mike Conley, Jordan Clarkson and Kelly Olynyk and...

It’s worth the risk to drop in the standings and cross your fingers. Especially if your consolation prize ends up being Jerace Walker. . .

Yeah. This was definitely a better deal for them than what the Lakers could give - even if the Jazz got involved.

I hate the Nuggets. Bunch of damn pretenders. Should have killed the Wolves every time they’ve played them, but they lay an egg each game. Down 23 right now. Freaking ridiculous.

Great question. Not Kessler, Markkanen or Agbaji. Another unprotected pick that far out - pretty much anybody else tbh. Maybe even two if the money checks out.

Not until the summer. I actually think this might make it easier to keep KD. I never got the vibe that he and Kyrie meshed that well together.

I think the honeymoon phase will be fine, but as soon as Kyrie does what Kyrie does, Luka is going to push to leave. Either they rent him and it gets a chip this year, or this move costa them Luka down the road.

Even more reason to stockpile draft assets right now.

I’ve definitely cooled on Collins. I only want that deal if it comes with great draft assets too.

If I wanted to compete now, I’d definitely want Conley, Clarkson and Vanderbilt over the picks. Hope the Nets agree. . .

Picks. Picks. Swaps. And more picks. Go get ‘em Danny.

I really like GG as well. Would be perfectly happy with taking a flier on him or Sensabaugh. Still love Hendricks and think he’ll surprise a lot of people. I wouldn’t have any issues if the Jazz drafted him late lottery or early 20’s.

If we get in the middle of this thing and help facilitate a deal between the Lakers and Nets, I want Yuta Watanabe included. Just because I want him on this team. If we have to take back some small contracts from the Lakers, I want Troy Brown and Max Christie.

I’d love for the Jazz to make a deal for the best pick the Knicks can convey this year AND then a pick swap with the Lakers in a separate deal. That would make it so I could actively root against the Knicks, Mavs, Lakers AND Pelicans while not caring about the 76ers/Nets anymore. That sounds...

Salary wise, Beasley, Vando and Gay is basically equal to Toppin, Quickley and Fournier. Not necessarily advocating for that. . . but if there’s quality draft picks involved, I’d definitely have the conversation.

Have you never paid attention to LeBron’s career? This is the reality of the NBA. I don’t know if I think it’s collusion, as much as star players exerting their influence. I could care less - as long as it benefits the Jazz in the long run.
