2023 Trade Rumors and Gossip Involving the Jazz

Classic Tony Jones:

first bullet - yeah, i've already made it clear lebron is keeping austin reaves regardless of what it takes
second bullet - no way to verify (again, classic tony - say something that we'll never know the answer to) but there are very few teams that don't prioritize playmaking so yeah, safe bet.
third bullet - the jazz want positional length - again of course they do - literally every team wants positional length
fourth bullet - this one is my favorite - he said the jazz removed cam from the draft board - uh, you think? they didn't draft him at 9, had another opportunity at 16 and still didn't take him, he was gone by their next pick - yeah, that's a pretty safe bet
fifth bullet - this one is almost as good as the fourth (maybe even better) - the jazz flat out said hendricks was 9th on their board, so of course they had jarace higher - they also had every other player that went in the top 8 higher. they also said George was #10 on their board - so again, it doesn't take a genius to figure out they had him higher than Hawkins who went 14.

tony jones is an embarrassment. he'd be fine if he just talked jazz, gave his opinions and didn't pretend he's an insider by spouting obvious **** that literally any dumb *** on this forum and has zero inside knowledge could come up with.
Why do you listen then? All you do is hate on the dude, so why are you listening?

ha. trust me, i'm most definitely not listening to that blowhard. every once in a while when somebody on jf posts his ridiculous comments, i'll point out what a doofus he is because it's funny to me how stunningly pretentious he can be at times.
 
IDK where else to post this and I dont feel like doing a new thread, but today Locke said he thinks there was an internal struggle about letting Keyonte be "the man" at Baylor (as in the veterans resisted it).

Also made it seem like the other guy Utah was targeting at 28 was Nick Smith Jr.

I didn't know what to take from that thing Locke said... did he want to imply that Keyonte was/had a bad leader/character/attitude(since the vets didn't trust him to lead the team) or is that an excuse about his efficiency(because the vets were pety and sabotaged him?). I didn't get what he wanted to say with that...

Not so much sabotoged, but he didnt the role that would best help the team.

Sometimes it feels like Locke is
Maybe selling it? Not that he needs to. I didn’t make a lot of it… we all kinda know that college basketball is tough to evaluate certain players.

Sure, it's selling it, but it's not something he would just make up. Someone told it to him.
 
I’ll be shocked if they don’t bring him back - at least for salary matching purposes in a trade.

KO is a solid expiring contract.
We don't need to match salaries if we're under the cap, and it's probably more likely that a team trying to save money wants to save more money than less.
