They don't have the salaries to mechanically do this without giving up Draymond. They're off the table. The Heat are the obvious team, but we'll see as they have no picks and Riley and Ainge hate each other. The Heat would also have to send out Rozier whose contract is very complicated right now.
I mean, the fact that Cody has played only 30 minutes on a team with no NBA caliber SGs is probably the worst statistic he has by far.
(this also goes for Sensabaugh)
I mean, maybe? But Cody's jumpshot is completely broken and he's one of the worst help defenders in the NBA so it's not like there are many paths here without massive development.
The Jazz are the 3rd or 4th worst team in the league and Cody can't crack the rotation. Andy Larsen says he's even...
6'9.5" in shoes with a 7'0.5" wingspan and an 8'11" standing reach and a meh vert is pretty small for a center. Even with more physicality, I doubt he's altering many shots with that verticality.
Draymond could play center while smaller and less athletic, but Draymond is a top 5 defender in NBA...
Hendricks is way too short to play center, he just can't protect the rim well at all. He needs to learn how to play perimeter defense or he'll be out of the league.
He's already trending to being out of the league by his 5th or 6th season so the Jazz probably shouldn't sabotage him when they...
I mean, the current trade values on the team are like
Lauri: 2 to 3 firsts plus an expiring, unclear quality of picks
Keyonte: One top 10 pick
Ace: One top 10 pick
Kessler: Extremely difficult to trade right now
Walter Clayton Jr: One late first
Kyle Filipowski: One late first
Taylor Hendricks...
Yeah, like, the 2027 draft is really bad so I don't know if the Jazz will be trying very hard to tank.
But we're not going to be good in 2026-2027 most likely.
We're probably going to move Lauri to the Heat for like Wiggins, Rozier's contract, 1 pick, 1 swap, and Ware (who will we probably dump elsewhere). This trade is an absolute fantasy. Ausar has more value by himself than Lauri.
(Lauri needing such a very motion heavy offense also limits his...
Obviously the Jazz have to sign him to a long-term contract to salvage his trade value, but I can't imagine either side actually wants to continue on this partnership. I would guess we see Kessler push for a sign-and-trade.
The Jazz's scheme does literally everything you do not want to do with an immobile big. Kessler takes forever to get back in transition, but the Jazz send their forwards in to crash the glass to, making his transition woes even worse. The Jazz meanwhile sell out helping to avoid paint...
