Why trade Jae Crowder? His contract is a bargain and he's in several of our best lineups statistically.

I feel like replacing the Favors/Crowder duo at PF with a Mirotic/Niang duo is a big step back.

We lose a lot of defense in this trade too. Losing Thabo hurts, especially after losing Favors and Crowder too.

I don't think that Conley is enough of an upgrade over Rubio to offset the fact that we would be worse at PF and lose some defense.

This is giving up too much imo.

A better first than Utah has and Kennard, yeah.

If they get Conley they could easily sneak in the playoffs... they might have to eat more than just Jackson’s terrible deal... might have to take leuer too. Salaries would also have to match damn near perfectly cuz both teams are inches from the tax.

If they want to eat bad salary they can pick up an extra first from Houston or a handful of other teams... just because they aren’t a FA player doesn’t mean that extra 20-30M in salary is meaningless... they will also likely try to operate at the salary floor next year. If they like Kennard then they should do the Detroit deal but otherwise it’s kinda crappy to move up 6-10 spots... doubt they’d get it unprotected. With Blake and Conley that is a playoff team imo. 15th pick versus 23-25 worth 30M.
 
Like Lowe said our deal is their floor. They likely shop the pieces we offered for other deals with bad salary and first or less productive expiring salary and seconds.

I don’t think we offer more. That’s the right approach. If we find a better use for the trade assets in the meantime they lose their floor offer.

Even if they sneak in they will have the 15th/16th pick. Utah will likely be 22/23/24. This year that would be the difference between drafting Huerter or Allen.

And Jackson might suck, but he's an expiring for next year.
 
The Jazz probably need a third team involved to make a Conley deal work. A team that is willing to move young assets or picks to the Grizzlies along with the Jazz expirings.

I think Leuer would have to be in the deal too... otherwise detroit would be right at the tax line with like 5 dudes add in minimums and they in the tax... 27M is a lot of bad money to move up a few spots... kennard is fine but I’m not sure he has that much value.

I’ll be curious to see what happens obvi... our current offer is pretty good... can save them some dough this year and a ton next... it’s aint worth it for us to go much higher.
 
Serious question: when was the last time a Jazz trade rumor ended up happening? Korver, Crowder, and Rubio came out of nowhere, IIRC.

Rubio was talked about for a while.
